Celebrity guests and supportive partners lit up the ballroom during the sixth week of the competition, with one husband going above and beyond to show his love and support for his wife. As the contestants danced to iconic tunes from the musical-turned-blockbuster ‘Wicked,’ the atmosphere was electric with passion and dedication.
Among the standout moments of the evening was Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa’s mesmerizing rumba to “For Good,” which earned them their first perfect 10s of the season. The emotions were running high as they flawlessly executed their dance, captivating both the audience and the judges.
But what wasn’t captured by the cameras was the heartwarming support shown by Whitney Leavitt’s husband, Conner.
