At 33 years old, Whitney is one of 23 celebrities set to join the cast of the Peacock series, which is set against the stunning backdrop of the Scottish Highlands. Despite her husband’s recent experience on *Dancing with the Stars*, which commenced with much anticipation, Whitney’s participation in *The Traitors* was planned well in advance.
Whitney’s career has seen significant developments over the past few months. She made headlines in May when she announced her departure from *The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives*. Discussing her decision to leave the reality series, which spotlighted a community of young Mormon mothers and influencers, she reflected on the changes in her life, stating, “It’s such a huge chapter in my life, but I felt like everybody knew that it was time for that chapter to end. Regrets? Plenty. But I wouldn’t change a thing.”
This new venture will mark Whitney’s second reality competition appearance, following her impressive run on *Dancing with the Stars* last season. Partnered with Mark Ballas, Whitney reached the semifinals of season 34. In a heartfelt conversation, she expressed the emotional impact of her departure from the dance show, likening it to a “breakup” that she was still coming to terms with. “I miss it a lot. I miss seeing everyone in the studio. I miss dancing every day,” she shared.
Following Conner’s elimination on September 15, Whitney publicly shared her pride in her husband’s achievements. In an Instagram post, she reassured him not to be disheartened by the outcome, commending his courage to step outside his comfort zone and encouraging him to embrace future challenges. “People can have their opinions, but I know you. They’ve only seen a fraction of what you’re capable of,” she wrote, expressing hope that the experience would inspire him to pursue his passions further.
Whitney also noted how proud their three children—Sedona, Liam, and Billy—were of their father’s efforts, demonstrating the support system that surrounds the couple as they navigate their respective careers in the entertainment industry.
The cast of *The Traitors* season six features a diverse array of celebrities, including reality television stars such as Craig Conover from *Southern Charm*, JaNa Craig from *Love Island USA*, and Joey Graziadei from *The Bachelor* and *Dancing with the Stars*. Joining them are notable figures from various fields, including singer Cody Simpson, actress Kristin Chenoweth, and Big Brother alum Taylor Hale, among others.
In addition to these participants, the cast list includes influencers and competitors from shows like *RuPaul’s Drag Race* and *Survivor*, showcasing the show’s commitment to providing a captivating blend of personalities and backgrounds.
As Whitney prepares for her new role in the Scottish Highlands, it seems she is ready to embrace this latest chapter in her life. The developments in her professional journey, alongside her husband’s ongoing adventures in his own career, underline a dynamic period for the Leavitt family. With both Whitney and Conner striving in their respective fields, fans are eager to see what lies ahead for this resilient couple.
