Dancing With the Stars: Will they love it or Leavitt? ABC’s reality dance competition has added The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Whitney Leavitt and Jennifer Affleck to the cast of its upcoming 34th season, which will once again be co-hosted by Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro. Leavitt and Affleck have experience with soft-swinging scandals, but how will they fare at swing dancing? While the full list of this year’s celebrity participants won’t be shared until September 8 on Good Morning America, we’ve already got a couple other confirmed names on the roster. One thing they’ve all got in common? They each have millions of followers on TikTok, of course. Can #MomTok survive this? Below, all the DWTS 34 competitors so far.

Whitney Leavitt and Jennifer Affleck

Leavitt and Affleck’s participation was first confirmed in the reunion special of Hulu’s Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on July 1. And they’ve already won a mini-competition to secure their slots — according to reunion host Nick Viall, several Mormon Wives auditioned to be on the upcoming season of DWTS. Affleck was pregnant during the reunion taping and recently went into labor in a nail salon, per a June 27 TikTok. Presumably, #DadTok will step up and watch the baby while the mom of three is off learning her steps.

Alix Earle

The Hot Mess podcaster called it quits with Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network in February 2025. By May, she confirmed that Dancing With the Stars would be her next endeavor. “It was like a no-brainer when they asked me to do it,” she told Access Hollywood on a May 26 red carpet, though she admitted she’s nervous and doesn’t know how well she’ll perform. Hey, at the very least, the social-media star is sure to leave with plenty of fodder for her next “get ready with me” videos.

Robert Irwin

That’s right, mate. Crocodile Hunter Jr. was the first confirmed member of the cast. Fresh off of a couple shirtless photo ops with snakes, the late Steve Irwin’s son told Good Morning America he would be joining the dancing competition. He plans to lean on the support of his sister, Bindi, who won season 21 of DWTS in 2015 when he was 11 years old, he told People. How long do we think it’ll be until he brings a live animal onto the show? Our money’s on the first rehearsal.
