Whitney Leavitt’s Heart Broken Upon DWTS Elimination

Whitney Leavitt Openly Shares Her Emotional Pain Upon Dancing with the Stars Elimination

Whitney’s Emotional Breakdown

Ending a Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) journey isn’t easy for anyone, but for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt, the experience was akin to a breakup.

Recently, Whitney shared a very emotional video on Instagram in which she couldn’t hold back tears. She opened her heart and said, “I’ll just speak my heart out.”

She said that when you’re on the show, you see your partners and crew for hours every day. Then, suddenly, everything stops.

Whitney described the feeling as similar to withdrawals, and that the day after her elimination felt incredibly strange.

Relationships That Are Greater Than Dance

Whitney explained that the show isn’t just about learning dance steps, but about building genuine friendships.

When you’re in an environment where people constantly lift you up and motivate you, you learn so much about yourself.

She said, “You challenge yourself and feel so much love in return.” This elimination was especially painful for her because she had formed a deep connection with those people, which she will miss every day.

Mark Ballas: A Unique Friend

At the end of her video, Whitney gave a special thanks to her pro partner Mark Ballas. Their bond wasn’t limited to the dance floor.

Whitney jokingly shared that she’s found a “lifelong friend” in Mark—a friend who makes funny “fart noises” every day and makes her laugh.

This is the same couple who scored a perfect 10 before the judges in season 34 with their performance to “Wicked.”

Whitney said, “I’m grateful for every moment. I’ve fallen in love with this show.”

Learn and the Way Forward

Whitney also shared some key takeaways for her fans. She believes it’s important to surround yourself with people who believe in you.

She said, “People who want to see your ‘delusional dreams’ come true, no matter how cheesy they may seem.”

Whitney’s journey on Dancing with the Stars may have ended, but her passion and teachings continue to be an inspiration to her fans.

For now, you can catch Whitney in the new season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu.
