Whitney, 33, explained, “After our third, I said to Conner, ‘Snip snip, buddy.’ Our family is complete.” Reflecting on parenting, she highlighted the importance of teamwork in their relationship, emphasising how they juggle the responsibilities of parenthood. “I think people would be very surprised how much help we don’t have. We’ve been able to tag-team,” she stated, emphasising their collaborative approach. “It’s never, ‘You will always do this, and I will always do that.’ It’s, ‘How can we make this work together?’”
Conner, 32, echoed his wife’s sentiments, saying, “We’re literally living our dream. We’ve worked really hard for this, and we’ll never take it for granted.” Their commitment to each other and to their family has been a fundamental pillar as they navigate the challenges of parenting and develop their careers.
Whitney’s journey has also seen her evolve from being characterised as the “villain” in the initial seasons of *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives* to achieving acclaim on platforms such as *Dancing with the Stars* and Broadway. She credited Conner with being her unwavering supporter throughout her various ventures. “Even when things were a s–t show, I always had Conner,” she remarked, noting their decade-long marriage, celebrated in June.
In a touching tribute, Conner described Whitney as “the love of my life”. He recalled gifting her flowers each week to match her outfits during her time on *Dancing with the Stars* and attending myriad performances of *Chicago* on Broadway. “If you truly care about somebody, you want to see them live their dreams,” he said, also acknowledging Whitney’s equal support for his aspirations.
The couple’s bond has transformed significantly since their early experiences on reality television, during which they faced significant marital challenges. Conner reflected on the difficulties they endured, stating, “Whitney had every excuse to say, ‘I’m gonna do the rest of this life without you,’ but instead she said, ‘You know what? I love you. I’m going to support you,’ and she did.” Whitney added that their relationship is built upon strong foundations of open communication, selflessness, and motivation for each other.
Whitney and Conner are not only growing as a couple but are also evolving in their careers, having recently launched their production company, Leavitt Media House, aiming to venture into film. Conner praised Whitney, saying, “One thing about my wife is she has a vision and she can manifest anything in this life.” Whitney’s ambition is evident as she expresses gratitude for their journey and the creativity they foster together.
Looking ahead, Whitney shared her immediate aspirations, stating, “I can’t control people accepting me in their projects, so let me go out and create my own.” She is set to star in and executive-produce the holiday romantic comedy *All for Love*, signalling her commitment to bringing her ideas to life.
As for the future, Whitney remains focused on making the most of the present. “Performing and creating is where I am putting my energy. I just want to enjoy this moment and have the time of my life,” she affirmed. This commitment to enjoying life and fostering her creative passions reflects a hopeful perspective for both her professional and personal journey.
As the Leavitt family continues on their path, their emphasis on mutual support and communication appears pivotal in navigating the diverse challenges of family and career. With plans firmly in place, Whitney and Conner are keen to embrace all that lies ahead, prioritising their unity and shared aspirations.
