Two Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars are going from dancing on TikTok to competing in the Dancing With the Stars ballroom.

Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt, who both star in the Hulu reality series, have joined the Season 34 cast of the ABC reality competition. The news was announced during the Season 2 reunion of Mormon Wives, which debuted on Hulu on Monday.

Actually, most of the Mormon Wives cast auditioned to be on the new season of DWTS, host Nick Viall revealed during the reunion. But for Affleck, being on DWTS has been “her life dream since she was little,” co-star Taylor Frankie Paul said during the reunion, and Leavitt “was an actual dancer,” she added: “You danced your whole life.”

Affleck and Leavitt are both lightning rods on Mormon Wives as well: Leavitt was ostracized from the group in Season 1 for, among other things, abruptly leaving a group text chain (gasp!); and Affleck had to stop filming midway through Season 2 after the stress of a rocky marriage and a new pregnancy got to be too much.

Mormon Wives follows a tight-knit group of Mormon wives and mothers who became social media stars with their viral #MomTok videos on TikTok. Season 1, which debuted in September, became Hulu’s most-watched unscripted series of the year, beating out perennial hits likeThe Kardashians.Season 2 premiered in May, with Season 3 already ordered at Hulu.

Dancing With the Stars previously announced wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin and TikTok star Alix Earle as Season 34 contestants. Irwin’s sister, Bindi, won Season 21 of the show with pro dancer-turned-judge Derek Hough.

The full list of Season 34 contestants and pro partners will be announced at a later date, as will an exact premiere date for the show’s return. As has been the case for the past two seasons, new episodes of Dancing With the Stars will be simulcast on ABC and Disney+, and they’ll stream the next day on Hulu.
