The pair of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives co-stars both competed against each other on the most recent season of DWTS, and while fans noticed some strain, their feud ran even deeper than viewers realized.
While the fiery feud was cut from DWTS, tense scenes between Whitney, 32, and Jen, 26, will be part of their storyline for season 4 of the Hulu series, an insider told The U.S. Sun.
“Whitney and Jen did not get along at all when filming DWTS. They hardly interacted and when they did, it wasn’t pleasant.
“They’re not friends and they weren’t on good terms filming DWTS and Mormon Wives. I’m sure DWTS cameras caught some of the tension, it was hard to avoid.
“But the DWTS producers didn’t use any of that footage since that’s not what that show is about,” they spilled.
The source continued: “Simultaneously, Hulu cameras were rolling so they captured that tension and will show more insight into why the girls were fighting.
“It will be a major plot point in season 4.”
The insider claimed that fans will definitely get to see the cause of their feud and that as of now, the two are “still not friends” with one another and “hardly interact, if ever.
Both Jen and Whitney were picked out of the Mormon Wives cast to be on season 34 of Dancing With the Stars.
It sparked controversy with fans after Whitney admitted that she only returned to Mormon Wives to gain a spot on DWTS – which many viewers took as a villainous move.
Despite the pair being from the same cast, Whitney and Jen hardly interacted on camera, and Whitney appeared to even smile when her rival was eliminated in October.
Whitney shed more light on the tension with Jen, telling Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper in a November 2025 interview after her shocking elimination: “The relationship [with Jen] is not great, I don’t really know if there is one right now.
”There was a lot that happened when we were doing Dancing With the Stars.
“We were also filming Secret Lives at the time. So I know…the audience is going to be able to see that story when that comes out next year.”

She added that “feelings were hurt” on both sides.
“I can tell you what I didn’t do. I didn’t go online and say I’m not supporting you and I’m not rooting for you,” Whitney fired off, referring to Jen’s comment about not voting for her co-star after being eliminated.
The reality star, who is set to star as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway, also opened up about being upset by Jen’s comments.
“This is the thing. Jen understands what it’s like being in the public eye, being in the reality space, getting the hate, she’s experienced it.
“So it sucked, it didn’t feel great that she fed into that. That she decided to go on a live and say ‘yeah I’m not gonna vote for her.’

“She could have just said who she was voting for, she didn’t have to say who she wasn’t voting for. And then to go on press. There’s definitely more story there.”
Hulu has not yet set a release date for season 4 of Mormon Wives, but it’s slated to come out sometime in early 2026.
