Whitney Leavitt announced that she will be exiting The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
Leavitt, 32, revealed during her final performance of Chicago on Broadway on Sunday, May 3, that she “is departing” the Hulu reality TV show, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Us Weekly has reached out to a representative for Leavitt for comment.
One day prior to the news, Leavitt celebrated the end of her onstage portrayal of Roxie Hart via an Instagram video. “Closing night is tomorrow and I’m just feeling a roller coaster of emotions right now 😭,” she captioned the Saturday, May 2, clip. “Never let anyone convince you your dream is impossible. Do the work to make it happen ✨I love you guys sm! Thank you for everything!!!! xx- Roxie Hart 💋✨.”
Leavitt made her Broadway debut in Chicago in February after news of her leap from TV to stage broke in December 2025. The news came after Leavitt competed in season 34 of Dancing With the Stars, finishing the dancing competition in sixth place.
Leavitt will also make her acting and executive producing debut in a holiday rom-com for Ninth House Productions later this year.
The reality TV series’ executive producer Jeff Jenkins addressed speculation that Paul will also not be returning for season 5. “I certainly hope [she will film with the other women],” Jenkins, 58, told fans at Deadline’s “Reality TV Summit” on Friday, May 1. “Again, first and foremost, is she healthy of body and mind, then we’ll talk about it.”
One month prior, the ex-husband of Mormon Wives star Miranda McWhorter, Chase McWhorter, said during the April 7 episode of Harry Jowsey’s “Boyfriend Material” podcast that he believed cameras on the reality show may not pick up again at all. “I think that’s kind of up in the air at this point,” Chase, 30, claimed at the time. “Hoping they do. All the other women have a bunch of great stories and story lines that haven’t been told.”
