The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt reacted to fan speculation surrounding husband Conner Leavitt’s sexuality.
“What’s the craziest rumor that you just’ve heard about you or your relationship online?” host Kaitlyn Bristowe asked in the course of the Thursday, October 3, episode of the “Off the Vine” podcast, to which Whitney, 31, replied, “Oh my Gosh, that my husband’s gay.”
Whitney quipped, “Do I want to place out a sex tape or something? Trust me, we’re good. Like, all the things is high quality.” She added that releasing a sex tape worked well for Kim Kardashian. “Have a look at her life, she’s a billionaire,” Whitney said.
After Bristowe, 39, asked why fans may query Conner’s sexuality, Whitney explained she thinks it stemmed from a conversation on the Hulu show about his struggle with a porn addiction. Within the Hulu series, it was also revealed that he launched a secret Tinder account to solicit NSFW images.
Disney/Fred Hayes Mormon “Momtok” has made its way out of your phone to your TV with Hulu’s upcoming series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. The mom influencers took over TikTok in 2022 with their unconventional lifestyles while also “breaking a norm” related to their religious practices and gender roles. The group subsequently faced scandal when […]
“I feel it’s because like once we were going through our personal stuff — and I do know you haven’t seen it, but he struggled through a porn addiction — and there’s a scene where one among my friends says something along the lines like, ‘Oh, I can see how he was confused sexually,’” Whitney said.
Whitney noted that her husband was sexually assaulted at a “very young age” and has “worked through” the trauma, adding that he’s “so inspiring.”
“I feel people sort of took that out of context,” she said concerning the remark.
Whitney also pointed to her husband’s multiple hair changes in the course of the series, explaining that the show’s pilot was filmed two years before the remainder of the season.
“While you watch it, his hair is changing a lot,” she said. “What happens is we come back from Hawaii and his hair’s bleached after which we shave it because he’s prepping for a hair transplant. So then he has a hair transplant after which he has this whole head of hair. So everyone’s like, ‘What is occurring?’” she recalled. “I’m identical to it’s due to all the things. … It looks like we’re changing his hair like day by day, and I’m like, ‘No that’s not it in any respect.’”
Despite the conversation surrounding her and Conner, Whitney — who’s expecting their third child — revealed that the couple remains to be going strong.
“While you undergo something that tough and also you come out the opposite end, man, your relationship is stronger than ever,” Whitney said during a September appearance on “The Squeeze” podcast. “During, it sucks, but holy hell, I’m grateful for where we are actually.”
While fans got a glimpse into Whitney and Conner’s life within the Hulu series, viewers also watched as she struggled together with her #MomTok friendships. After leaving the group, Whitney announced that she could be joining season 2 of the series, which was renewed for 20 episodes earlier this month. Whitney wrote via Instagram, “I feel season 2 is about to get wild 👀🔥.”
