Whitney Leavitt wants everyone to know the Leavitt household is officially closed for new business. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, 33, tells PEOPLE in a new exclusive that she and her husband, Conner Leavitt, 32, consider their family complete with three kids in tow: daughter Sedona, 6, and sons Liam, 4, and Billy, 1.
Between a Broadway run, a stint on Dancing with the Stars, a holiday movie and a brand new production company, it is not exactly hard to see why the couple feels like their hands, and their calendar, are already full.
This is not a spur of the moment decision dressed up for a headline either. Whitney has been consistent about wanting exactly three children for a while now, and she has previously described her youngest, Billy Gene, as her last baby.
The couple welcomed Billy in October 2024 and told PEOPLE at the time, “We are most excited about having our family complete. We’ve always wanted three kids and we’re so happy everyone’s here now.”
Nearly two years and a few career whirlwinds later, that sentiment has only gotten stronger, and Whitney’s latest comments make clear this was never a maybe.
Three kids, one very full calendar
Anyone doing the math on Whitney’s last twelve months might understand exactly why the factory has closed. She competed on season 34 of Dancing with the Stars alongside partner Mark Ballas, made her Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in Chicago at the Ambassador Theatre in February, and ended up staying so long that her limited engagement stretched from a planned six weeks into roughly three months.
That run reportedly delivered the highest weekly box office gross in the show’s 29 year history, which is not a small thing to pull off while also parenting a one year old.
On top of the singing and dancing, Whitney is also starring in and executive producing her first film, the holiday rom-com All for Love, in which she plays a podcaster named Winona. She and Conner launched their own production company together, Leavitt Media House, to develop scripted and unscripted projects as a team.
Speaking about the mindset behind building her own opportunities instead of waiting for someone else to hand them to her, Whitney explained, “I can’t control people accepting me in their projects, so let me go out and create my own.”
That is a founder’s mentality dressed up in a Roxie Hart wig, and it tracks with everything else she has been building this year.
If that résumé was not full enough already, Whitney has since been announced for a second Broadway run this winter, stepping into the role of Sandra Dee in Just in Time from December through January.
Somewhere in between all of that, she and Conner also packed up their lives, moved to New York for her Broadway debut, celebrated buying what she called their “dream home,” and then relocated back closer to family in Utah.
Three kids under seven, two Broadway contracts, a movie, and a production company launch in the same twelve month stretch is the kind of schedule that makes “we’re done having kids” sound less like a lifestyle choice and more like basic math.
Conner gets his flowers, literally
None of this happens, according to Whitney, without Conner holding things together at home. She has repeatedly credited him as her steadiest support system through both the glittery moments and the genuinely hard ones.
Reflecting on his presence throughout her Broadway rehearsals, Whitney previously told PEOPLE, “Through every step, every rehearsal, and every breakdown I’ve had, thank you for being my steady rhythm, my safe place, and my biggest cheerleader. I couldn’t do this without you.”
She added a detail that sounds almost too sweet to be scripted, noting that she looks forward to seeing the bouquet of flowers Conner picks out for her dressing room during her runs, “I always look forward to seeing the bouquet of flowers you perfectly pick in my trailer. I love you so much Connie baby!”
The couple met on what was supposed to be a double date in 2015, when they were technically playing wingman for their friends before the friends bailed and left them to enjoy the outing themselves. They married in the summer of 2016 at a temple in Provo, Utah, and are now closing in on ten years together.
To mark the milestone, Conner and Whitney appeared on the cover of Brides magazine, where they revealed plans to renew their vows later this year.
Conner shared some reflection on their original wedding day, admitting it had centered more on their families than on the two of them, “It felt like our wedding day, as much as it was for us, it really felt like it was for our families.”
For the renewal, Whitney has teased something considerably more private and just for them, floating the idea of “a cute little chateau in Italy” with a small circle of close family and friends for a week together.
Their marriage has not always been drama free in public view, and the couple has been candid about working through hard patches, including a period when they left Utah for Hawaii to address issues in their relationship before returning home.
That kind of transparency has followed them through the run of Mormon Wives, where marriage speculation has been a recurring topic. Whitney has responded to that scrutiny with a version of the same steadiness she credits Conner for providing her.
Speaking to PEOPLE about tuning out chatter from viewers, she said plainly, “I have family, I have Conner, and we know what’s real. And so, I can go to sleep at night knowing that I’m with the love of my life, my best friend, and he knows me and I know him, and what else really matters?”
A homecoming that feels like the final piece
The family’s return to Utah adds another layer to why Whitney is describing this moment as complete rather than just busy. After bouncing between coasts for her Broadway commitments, buying and selling homes along the way, the Leavitts settled into a house near their extended family back in Utah, giving their three kids a home base while Whitney continues to juggle a bicoastal career.
Being closer to grandparents and relatives while raising three young children through a whirlwind professional stretch is the kind of grounding most parents chase, and Whitney has framed the move as part of finally getting to enjoy a stage of life she once only imagined.
Fans of Mormon Wives have watched Whitney evolve from a reality television personality dealing with online backlash into someone building an entertainment career on her own terms, all while raising three small children largely in public view. She has talked openly about how much her kids motivate her through demanding stretches of work.
Reflecting on watching her children in the audience during her performances, Whitney said, “I went from being the little girl on stage waving to my parents in the audience, to now having my own kids watching me and hopefully seeing what it looks like to chase a dream with courage and heart. Knowing they’re proud of me keeps me going, even on the hardest rehearsal days.”
Between a completed family, a decade of marriage worth celebrating with an Italian vow renewal, two Broadway roles, a movie, and a production company built alongside her husband, Whitney Leavitt’s version of “settled” still looks like a packed suitcase and a color coded calendar.
She has simply decided that the family portion of that calendar has exactly three kids’ worth of names on it, and she sounds entirely at peace with keeping it that way.
