‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Stars Whitney and Conner Leavitt’s Relationship Timeline
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt and her husband, Conner Leavitt, have navigated ups and downs together.
The couple met in the early 2010s when Whitney served her Mormon mission in Georgia, where Conner’s family was based at the time.
“It’s just [a] coincidence. How cool is that?” Whitney recalled to Vulture in May 2025, noting she was matched with Conner’s family during her stint in Georgia. “I remember being in his home.”
The pair didn’t start dating right away, though. Whitney and Conner formally met in 2015, each agreeing to be the wingmen for their respective friends planning to go on a double date. While their pals bailed, Whitney and Conner found a connection themselves.
After a year of dating, Whitney and Conner tied the knot inside a Mormon temple in Provo, Utah.
Nearly six years later in 2022, Conner admitted that he struggled with an addiction to pornography. The couple subsequently fled Utah for two months to recommit to their marriage.
After one year of dating, Whitney and Conner got married.
“Not your average bridal shoot,” Whitney wrote via Instagram, sharing a pic of the couple eating hamburgers from In-N-Out in their ceremony outfits.
Whitney gave birth to the pair’s first child, daughter Sedona, in November.
Shortly after Whitney gave birth to son Liam, he was hospitalized with RSV amid the early days of her TikTok career.
“The first couple of days were scary, but he was getting better. So I’m thinking let’s do something fun and I made a video,” Whitney recalled on Mormon Wives, noting her butt-shaking footage went viral for appearing tone-deaf. “People felt like I was using my child’s sickness for clout or attention.”
On the heels of MomTok’s “soft-swinging scandal,” Whitney and Conner left Utah for Hawaii. The Leavitts, who were not involved in the swinging parties, actually moved after Conner’s addiction to pornography came to light.
“[I] love that man,” Whitney later said of Conner during a 2024 appearance on “The Squeeze” podcast. “He had a porn addiction for a really long time and that was something that was, obviously, really hard to overcome. I didn’t even know that was going on. When you go through something that tough and you come out the other end, man, your relationship is stronger than ever. During, it sucks, but holy hell, I’m grateful for where we are now.”
Amid Conner’s addiction struggles, he had a secret account on dating app Tinder to speak with other individuals. Fans also speculated about Conner’s sexuality as a result.
“Do I need to put out a sex tape or something? Trust me, we’re good. Like, everything is fine,” Whitney said on the “Off the Vine” podcast in October 2024, denying the rumors.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premiered on Hulu, highlighting Whitney and Conner’s return to Utah and her pregnancy with baby No. 3. (Whitney now infamously told her mom that she was expecting by hiding a positive pregnancy test inside of a cake.)
By the end of the season, Whitney chose to leave MomTok. She, however, changed her tune during Mormon Wives season 2 when it premiered in May 2025.
Whitney gave birth to the pair’s third baby, son Billy Gene.
“We are most excited about having our family complete,” she told People in a statement. “We’ve always wanted three kids and we’re so happy everyone’s here now.”
During the Mormon Wives season 2 reunion, Conner opened up about his past with Whitney by his side, revealing that he was sexually abused as a child.
“Conner and I had talked about it before and I said this would be very vulnerable. I know that a lot of people could relate to our story and it could help a lot of people,” Whitney told Vulture of supporting her spouse. “In the end, I wanted it to be Conner’s decision. I felt like it was his story more than mine, even though it did affect me.”
Whitney was cast on season 34 of Dancing With the Stars, where she was paired with pro dancer Mark Ballas. Amid dance training, Conner and the couple’s kids have been the No. 1 cheerleaders of “Team Whark It.”
“Through every step, every rehearsal, and every breakdown I’ve had. Thank you for being my steady rhythm, my safe place, and my biggest cheerleader,” Whitney wrote via Instagram, honoring Conner. “I couldn’t do this without you. I always look forward to seeing the bouquet of flowers you perfectly pick in my trailer 🤧❤️ I love you so much Connie baby!”
Whitney chose to honor Conner for her and Mark’s Dedication Night routine — a contemporary dance set to Jamal Roberts’ “Heal” — on DWTS. The performance earned a total score of 33 out of 40 from the judges.
Whitney was ultimately eliminate weeks later just ahead of the finale. Post-show, Whitney made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago.
Whitney wrapped her Broadway debut in May, also confirming her departure from Mormon Wives. She and Conner moved their family back to Utah.
“It was very hard to leave New York, but it wasn’t working for our family and our kids,” Whitney later told Good Housekeeping. “We enjoyed the opportunities — we never wanted to say no. But we needed groundedness. With this house, we’ve found our base camp.”
Whitney and Conner celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows.
“10 years married. And for the first time ever, we’re spending our anniversary apart. Let’s just say… big things are happening for the Leavitt family right now 👀,” Whitney gushed via Instagram. “Through every dream, every opportunity, every crazy turn this life has taken us on, the greatest thing we’ve ever built will always be us 🤍 and this family we get to call ours.”
She continued, “Loving you, being loved by you, watching you love our children, and knowing that no matter how big we dream, we’ll always be each other’s biggest believers and safest place. Ten years in, and there is still no one I’d rather take on the world with ✨.”
That same month, Us reported that Conner would join the cast of DWTS season 35 and news broke that Whitney would be making her return to Broadway in the musical Just in Time.
