If you’ve been searching for Conner Leavitt lately, you’ve probably seen his name connected to two big things — Hulu’s hit reality show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and his upcoming appearance on Dancing with the Stars Season 35. This guide breaks down exactly who he is, how old he is, what he does for a living, and why he’s suddenly showing up everywhere in 2026.
Quick Answer: Conner Leavitt is 32 years old as of September 2026. He is a content creator, performer, off-Broadway actor, and television personality from St. George, Utah. He is married to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt.
Background: Who Is Conner Leavitt?
Conner Leavitt is one of those people who started off behind the camera and gradually ended up in front of it. Most viewers first noticed him through his wife, Whitney Leavitt, who built a massive following as a “MomTok” creator — a community of Mormon mothers who share their lives on social media. Whitney rose to wider fame when she was cast on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Hulu’s reality show that premiered in 2024 following the influencers at the centre of TikTok’s Mormon mum community.
Conner became known initially as the “professional Instagram husband” — the guy holding the camera, matching themed outfits to whatever dance his wife was performing, and making viral moments on social media during Whitney’s run on Dancing with the Stars Season 34. But he wasn’t just in the background. He made his own mark on the show during “Dedication Week,” when he stepped onto the DWTS stage alongside Whitney and her partner Mark Ballas for an emotional contemporary routine. That performance got people talking about him specifically, not just as someone’s husband.
He has since appeared in his own right on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, made his New York stage debut in the off-Broadway production of 11 to Midnight at the Orpheum Theatre in May 2026, and launched Leavitt Media House — an independent production company he runs with Whitney. Now, in September 2026, he’s about to take on his biggest solo challenge yet: competing on Dancing with the Stars Season 35.
Latest Update
As of September 16, 2026
As of today, September 16, 2026, Conner Leavitt is trending because Dancing with the Stars Season 35 has just been announced with him confirmed as a competing celebrity. His partner is professional dancer Adele Zaikman. The two-night season premiere is set to air on ABC and Disney+ on Tuesday, September 15 and Wednesday, September 16, 2026, with episodes streaming the next day on Hulu — which means the show is essentially starting right now.
Key Date: DWTS Season 35 two-night premiere: September 15–16, 2026, live on ABC and Disney+. Conner Leavitt is partnered with pro dancer Adele Zaikman.
His casting makes for a genuinely unusual story in the show’s history. Whitney Leavitt competed last season (Season 34) with Mark Ballas and placed sixth. Now her husband is competing in Season 35. That makes the Leavitts back-to-back DWTS contestants from the same household — which is rare enough to be its own headline. Conner’s Season 35 castmates include Summer House’s Ciara Miller, Love Island’s Maura Higgins, Jimmy Kimmel Live! sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez, Savannah Bananas star Jackson Olson, Bachelor Nation’s Tyler Cameron, and actress Jenna Dewan, among others.
Beyond DWTS, Conner and Whitney recently announced the launch of Leavitt Media House, their production company that is developing both scripted and unscripted projects. Whitney also announced in August 2026 that she’ll return to Broadway in December for a limited run as Sandra Dee in the jukebox musical Just in Time at Circle in the Square Theatre. The couple’s profile has grown substantially in a short time — from social media content creators to TV personalities, stage performers, and now independent producers.

Family and Early Life
Conner grew up in St. George, Utah, in a family connected to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. St. George is a city in the southwest corner of Utah, not far from the Nevada border, and it has a large LDS community. Beyond this, very little about his childhood, siblings, or early home life has been made public. His parents’ names and backgrounds are not confirmed in any verifiable source, so those details are not included here.
What is known is that Conner and his future wife, Whitney, met in a fairly unconventional way. While Whitney was serving an LDS mission in Georgia, she became close to the family of a person named Conner Leavitt — though the exact connection isn’t detailed publicly. They officially met in 2015 when both were wingmen on a double date that their friends then bailed on. Left together, they got to know each other properly. They married on August 19, 2016, at the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple. They now have three children and live in St. George, Utah.
Career Path
Conner’s professional journey went through a sharp pivot. He started out in finance — specifically working at a hedge fund in a technical analyst or technology-focused role. He holds a degree in mathematics and economics, which gave him a solid foundation for that world. But over time, as Whitney’s social media presence grew and the couple’s content together gained traction, Conner moved away from finance and toward the creative space full-time.
| Period | Role / Activity |
|---|---|
| Post-graduation – early 2020s | Technical analyst / IT role at a hedge fund in finance |
| 2020 onward | Content creator; professional “Instagram husband”; social media performer and magician |
| 2024–2025 | Recurring cast member, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (Hulu) — first partner to appear in a confessional on the show |
| Season 34 DWTS (2025) | Guest performer during “Dedication Week” alongside Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas |
| May 2026 | Off-Broadway debut, 11 to Midnight at the Orpheum Theatre, New York (alongside Heather Morris and Nia Sioux) |
| 2026 | Co-founder, Leavitt Media House (independent production company) |
| September 2026 | Competing celebrity, Dancing with the Stars Season 35 (partner: Adele Zaikman) |
One detail that sets Conner apart from the typical reality TV spouse: he’s also a practising close-up magician and storytelling performer. Magic is not just a hobby — it’s woven into how he presents himself publicly and reportedly played a role in his off-Broadway character work as well.

Wrap-Up
Conner Leavitt is a good example of someone who built his public profile gradually, almost by accident. He didn’t set out to be on television — he started by supporting his wife’s content career and being genuinely entertaining in the process. His themed DWTS outfits went viral. His emotional guest performance on the show got clipped and shared across platforms. His off-Broadway debut followed. Then his own DWTS casting. Each step was earned rather than handed to him, which may be why audiences seem to respond to him with genuine warmth rather than the skepticism that follows more manufactured reality TV personalities.
Notable Fact: Conner Leavitt made history as the first partner of a Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast member to appear in a confessional interview on the show. That milestone is significant because the show’s format was specifically built around the women — having their husbands featured in that way marked a shift in how the series was presenting its world.
What’s also worth understanding is the Leavitt household’s trajectory as a unit. Whitney broke a 29-year box office record on Broadway. Conner made his Off-Broadway debut and co-founded a production company. Both are now DWTS alumni from consecutive seasons. And all of this happened within a roughly two-year window. Whether you found Conner through Mormon Wives, through his wife’s DWTS run, or through a search about his age, the short version is this: at 32, he’s only getting started.
