And then there were no more members of MomTok. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas have been eliminated from Dancing With the Stars during the semi-finals. “I already feel like a winner. This show has meant the absolute world to me. It’s changed my life and I’ll forever be so grateful for the friendships I’ve made,” Leavitt cheered during her exit interview with Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough. Leavitt and Ballas have been one of the highest-scoring couples of the season and were just one week short of making it to the finale. She outlasted fellow Mormon Wives co-star Jen Affleck and found a way to break out of the villain shadow from her reality show with the hardcore DWTS fans.
While Leavitt is no longer dancing on our screen, she has bigger dreams than just being on TikTok. She told Vulture in May 2025 that she hopes to transition into acting, “I don’t know how I’m going to navigate it, but I guess I’d be the first reality star that became a successful actress.” She also admitted to only returning to film season three of Mormon Wives for the opportunity to audition for DWTS, showing a desire to break out of the MomTok bubble. Leavitt’s always a few dancing steps ahead of the rest of us, and now, everyone knows that she can do more than just TikTok trends.
