Hulu’s ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ has long followed the life of Whitney Leavitt. As one of the main cast members and a prominent figure in the MomTok group, Whitney and her husband, Conner Leavitt, have been at the center of the show across multiple seasons, with viewers witnessing the many highs and lows of their lives together. In season 4, the couple offered a glimpse into new aspects of their life. It captured their shifting dynamics within their household as Conner began taking on a more active role in their domestic setup.
Whitney and Conner Have Faced Many Challenged Hand-in-Hand
Whitney and Conner first met in 2010 when she was on a Mormon mission in Georgia. At the time, Whitney was staying with Conner’s family, though the two did not begin dating right away. Their first date happened unexpectedly when they went on a double date as wingmen for another couple. When the other pair did not work out, Whitney and Conner realized they shared a connection with each other. Their relationship soon blossomed, and in 2016, they married, promising to stand by one another through both good times and difficult moments. In November 2019, they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Sedona. Two years later, in December 2021, the couple had their second child, a son named Liam. Like many couples in the public eye, Whitney and Conner have faced their share of challenges.
In 2022, they addressed allegations about swinging, which they distanced themselves from. Around the same time, Conner openly spoke about his struggle with pornography addiction. The period was difficult for them, and they even left Utah for a while to stay in Hawaii, hoping to heal away from public scrutiny. Determined to strengthen their relationship, they worked through their issues and continued to support one another. In October 2024, they welcomed their third child, a son named Billy Gene. Conner stepped up during this time to make Whitney feel secure and supported. In 2025, when he publicly shared that he had experienced sexual abuse as a child, Whitney stood firmly by his side as he spoke about it. During season 4, while Whitney competed on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ Conner took on a larger role at home. He supported her through rehearsals and cheered her on. He gladly took to his role as a stay-at-home dad while adjusting to the household responsibilities.
Whitney and Conner Are Happy and Content With Their Family Life
Whitney and Conner have been through a great deal together, and this season clearly showed that they have managed to come through those challenges as a team. Reflecting on how they worked through their struggles, Whitney spoke candidly in an interview, saying, “I had to genuinely contemplate whether I wanted to rebuild this trust… That doesn’t mean I don’t still encounter triggers. When I do, I work through them and keep progressing.” She has often credited Conner with being her backbone in the demanding, sometimes overwhelming world of reality television. His support has helped her navigate both personal challenges and the pressures of being in the public eye.
The couple also spent the 2025 holiday season in New York City while Whitney was filming there at the time. Conner brought their children along and stayed with her, turning the work trip into a family experience and ensuring they could spend that time together. Moments like these show the strong partnership they have built over the years. It has been especially meaningful for viewers to see Conner grow into his own role, both within their family and alongside Whitney. As he embraced new responsibilities and stepped more confidently into his place, their bond appeared stronger than ever. Through all the ups and downs, the two remain deeply in love and are focused on supporting one another and creating a happy life for their children.
