Whitney Leavitt’s Magical Disney Week on Dancing With the Stars
Whitney Leavitt, a star from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, experienced a heartwarming moment during Disney Week on Dancing With the Stars. The 32-year-old mother of three was delighted to have her five-year-old daughter, Sedona, by her side. Whitney shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse of their enchanting evening on Instagram, which was filled with love and excitement.
In the video, Sedona can be seen eagerly greeting her mother at the trailer door, and Whitney lovingly compliments her daughter, exclaiming, “Hello baby! You look beautiful.” Sedona was dressed in a charming princess-style gown adorned with sparkling stars, adding to the magical atmosphere.
The duo then made their way to the studio, where Sedona cheered enthusiastically for her mom from the audience. After Whitney completed her performance, inspired by Hamilton, she rushed offstage to present her daughter with a rose, a sweet gesture that highlighted their close bond.
A Lucky Charm on the Dance Floor
It appears that Sedona’s presence brought good fortune to Whitney. Throughout the competition, Whitney and her dance partner, Mark Ballas, have consistently topped the leaderboard since the very first week. However, during the week four episode on October 7, Sedona’s attendance was particularly special, as Whitney and Mark emerged as the only couple to secure the top spot on the leaderboard, with Whitney earning the season’s first score of nine.
In an interview prior to the performance, Whitney expressed her excitement about having Sedona experience her first live show as a competitor on Dancing With the Stars. “My oldest daughter hasn’t come to a show yet, but she is going to come to Disney Week, which I’m really excited about,” she shared. “It’s going to be really cute.”
Embracing the Disney Theme
Whitney elaborated on the Disney theme of the night, acknowledging that Sedona would likely dream of her mother being a Disney princess. “I mean, of course, she’d love for me to be a Disney princess or something, I’m sure, because she’s my little princess,” Whitney said. “I think she’s just going to enjoy the night. It’s Disney!”
The reality star also reflected on how much her family means to her, stating that they provide her with “so much strength and joy.” She noted that participating in the show has been a full-circle experience for her, especially as she shares the journey with her children. Alongside Sedona, Whitney is a proud mother to her sons, Liam, 3, and Billy, who is just one year old, with her husband, Conner Leavitt.
A Journey of Dreams and Inspiration
Whitney reminisced about her own childhood, recalling the days when she would wave to her parents from the stage. “I went from being the little girl on stage waving to my parents in the audience, to now having my own kids watching me and hopefully seeing what it looks like to chase a dream with courage and heart,” she expressed. The support and pride of her children motivate her to push through even the most challenging rehearsal days.
This heartfelt moment showcases not only the joy of family support but also the magic that comes with pursuing one’s dreams in the world of dance. Whitney Leavitt’s journey on Dancing With the Stars continues to inspire, as she dances for her family and for all those who dare to chase their dreams.
