The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Whitney and Conner Leavitt are giving fans an update on the show’s fifth season.
Production on season 5 of the hit Hulu reality show was paused back in March amid allegations of a domestic incident between Taylor Frankie Paul and ex Dakota Mortensen. The Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office ultimately declined to press charges against Taylor, 32, in April.
After news broke of the charges being dropped, Us Weekly confirmed that production on Mormon Wives season 5 was set to resume.
“It’s not completely wrapped up. We just need to finish out the season, which will finish soon, and then that’ll be my last one,” Whitney, 33, shared on Trisha Paytas’ “Just Trish” podcast on Thursday, June 25.
Conner, 32, claimed that Hulu has “cut the season short … five episodes only.”
“They’re having everyone go back to basically do interviews, wrap up a couple of things,” he added. “I think that’ll be a very abbreviated season considering all the things that happened publicly.”
As Whitney prepares to leave Mormon Wives, she also gave an update on her relationships with her fellow MomTok influencers.
“I feel the support. I feel like this is literally the first time ever I’m, like, good with everyone. It’s a breath of fresh air. No drama,” the Dancing With the Stars alum said.
Whitney, who also recently played Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway, confirmed her Mormon Wives exit in May.
“You’re going to want to sit down for this video. I am leaving The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Take a minute. Take it in,” she said in an Instagram video. “I feel like I had to start my video that way. I’ve seen a lot of conversation on my announcement, so I just wanted to come on here and share my thoughts.”
“Just to be very clear, I am finishing season 5. So yes, I will be in that season. But also yes, it will be my last,” Whitney added. “It’s honestly so crazy to me looking back on this journey because I had been trying to get into theater and film way before Secret Lives even came into my life.”
“I feel content,” Whitney said. “I feel like this is a chapter that’s closing in my life and honestly, I believe that’s how it was always meant to be. I’m so grateful for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. It’s got me where I am today. It’s given me the opportunities that you all have seen, but I’m ready. I’m ready for the next chapter, and I cannot wait to share with you guys what’s next.”
