Whitney Leavitt is thinking about closing one chapter and opening another. The 32-year-old, who plays Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway, hinted she might be ready to move on from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives to focus on more acting and performing opportunities.

“Figuring it out in real time”

Whitney told reporters she is "figuring it out in real time." She made clear the decision is a work in progress, but said it already feels like the direction she is heading. She acknowledged the show gave her a major platform, and that she would not be where she is without it, but added that it may be time to pursue dreams she had before reality TV came along.

What she wants next

As a former Dancing With the Stars contestant and a long-time performer, Whitney said she wants to lean into entertaining and acting. She teased hopes for more film roles and other chances to flex her stage and screen muscles.

Family and support

Whitney and her husband, Conner Leavitt, have three children: Sedona, 6; Liam, 4; and Billy, 17 months. She said she is grateful for the business and community the show created and believes her castmates would support her if she decides to step away.

Cast drama and relationships

The series has not been without turmoil. Production on season five paused after an investigation related to cast member Taylor Frankie Paul. Whitney also addressed a rift with fellow cast member Jen Affleck that followed their time on Dancing With the Stars. Whitney said she has "definitely taken a huge step back in that relationship," that she is moving on, and that she hopes Jen can be cordial.

Who else is on the show

Here are some of the main cast members and their social footprints:

  • Mayci Neeley — TikTok: 2.6 million followers; Instagram: 1.2 million
  • Taylor Frankie Paul — TikTok: 5.8 million followers; Instagram: 1.9 million
  • Whitney Leavitt — TikTok: 3.2 million followers; Instagram: 1.1 million
  • Layla Taylor — TikTok: 771,000 followers; Instagram: 674,000
  • Demi Engemann — TikTok: 1.2 million followers; Instagram: 696,000
  • Jessi Ngatikaura — TikTok: 1.4 million followers; Instagram: 1.1 million
  • Jen Affleck — TikTok: 2.5 million followers; Instagram: 1.4 million
  • Mikayla Matthews — TikTok: 3.3 million followers; Instagram: 1.2 million

Bottom line: Whitney seems open to letting the show be a chapter rather than the whole book. She values what it gave her, but right now she is plotting more stage and screen steps. That could mean more spotlight, fewer reality show confessionals, and hopefully some movie credits to brag about.
