Mormon Wives Star Joins Holiday Rom-Com Movie – Here’s What We Know

Whitney Leavitt’s post–Dancing with the Stars chapter is shaping up to be anything but quiet. Since stepping away from the ballroom,

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star has been stacking major career wins—moving from reality TV into film, with a Broadway debut and a holiday romance already locked in.

While some fans were disappointed to see her eliminated during DWTS Season 34, Leavitt wasted no time proving that her momentum wasn’t slowing down.

In fact, the competition exit seems to have marked the beginning of a new phase—one defined by long-anticipated goals finally coming into focus.

From the Ballroom to Broadway

Earlier this year, Leavitt confirmed she’ll make her Broadway debut in February 2026, stepping into the iconic role of Roxie Hart in Chicago.

She’ll appear in a limited six-week engagement at New York City’s Ambassador Theatre, joining a growing list of reality stars who’ve taken on the famed character.

For Leavitt, the role represents more than just another credit—it’s a milestone she’s been working toward quietly for years.

A Holiday Film—and a First Feature Role

Before Broadway audiences see her take the stage, Leavitt will appear in her first-ever feature film. According to PEOPLE, she began production on All For Love shortly after leaving DWTS.

The romantic holiday comedy, produced by Ninth House Productions, is scheduled for release in 2026. In addition to starring in the film, Leavitt also serves as an executive producer.

She plays Winona, a well-known podcaster searching for love in the digital world. Her journey takes an unexpected turn when she meets Luke—played by Jesse Kove—in real life.

Promotional images tease classic rom-com energy, with the pair wrapped in Christmas lights and unmistakable chemistry.

To mark the moment, Leavitt shared a behind-the-scenes reel on social media reflecting on how long the road to this opportunity has been.

The on-screen text reads, “Walking on set to star in my first movie, but remembering that every no mattered…” The video then cuts through a montage of audition tapes spanning several years.

In the caption, she added a simple but telling line: “The hardest part? Not giving up!”

Manifestation Meets Momentum

Leavitt has been candid about how deeply she’s fallen in love with acting—and how close her dreams now feel. In recent interviews, she’s even shared aspirations of appearing in a live-action version of Anastasia.

“I feel like everything that I’ve been manifesting feels more within reach,” she said. “Like I can see it and it’s there and I’m reaching it and I’m going after it. And I’m just so grateful.”

With a Broadway debut on the horizon and a holiday rom-com set to introduce her to film audiences, Whitney Leavitt’s next act is already well underway.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3 is currently streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
