DWTS’ Conner Leavitt Details Whitney Leavitt Advice for Him

Whitney Leavitt and Conner Leavitt are keeping DWTS in the family.

Just one year after the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives alum competed on Dancing With the Stars, her husband is officially lacing up his ballroom shoes for season 35, and he detailed some words from the wiser.  

“Honestly, she said this to me so many times, ‘This experience goes by fast. In the blink of an eye it’s going to be over,’” Conner told E! News in an exclusive interview alongside pro partner Adele Zaikman following the cast unveiling. “‘Be present. Have fun. Build relationships with the people around you. You’re just going to learn so much so just soaking it all in.’”

But while Whitney made it to the semi-finals alongside her pro partner Mark Ballas last year, her husband isn’t counting on besting her legacy. 

“Listen, if I go further than Whitney, she will never live it down,” he explained. “I will be like, ‘Check it.’”

Of course, the 32-year-old—dad to Sedona, 6, Liam, 4 and Billy Gene, 22 months with the Chicago alum—knows his chances are slim.
