Every successful reality TV show needs a maniacal reality TV villain that fans can love/hate obsess over and when it comes to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Whitney Leavitt is willing and able to that bitch. Whitney seems to violently pivot between playing the naughty little troublemaker who pushes her mom and her friends to open up about their sex lives to telling everyone from Taylor Frankie Paul to Demi that they’re just not Mormon enough. As she revealed early into the new Hulu show’s first season, her husband Connor has an equally complicated track record. Though Whitney and Connor got internet famous for their mama bear-coded TikTok videos and family vlogs, their massive fanbase was shook to its core when Whitney admitted rumors about her husband having a TikTok profile were true. Unpacking the cheating scandal with Whitney’s husband Conner Leavitt faster than that 30-second TikTok routine I can’t remember.

If you consider having a Tinder account while you’re married with children cheating, then yes. On SLMW Whitney admitted after first lying that the rumors claiming Conner was on dating apps weren’t true, that he ultimately did build a profile Whitney says was on Tinder. She thought it was “a joke” at first until she asked Conner, who had been struggling with a porn addiction according to Whitney, and he confirmed he put his old pictures on Facebook. On Mormon Wives, Whitney apologized to castmate Taylor Paul for letting everyone believe that Leavitts temporarily moved to Hawaii to escape MomTok because of Taylor’s problems with the law. Whitney also elaborated that she didn’t tell the truth because “she wasn’t sure what she wanted” next for their marriage and that she was “embarrassed” to share they had “broken a covenant with God.”

In a now-deleted YouTube video from December 18, 2022, when the news originally broke, Connor and Whitney tearfully confirmed he “had a presence on Tinder.” He wasn’t “looking for anything” physical but was rather “seeking something deeper” in the form of “validating [his] feelings and [his] emotions” by women online. Conner tied his dating app behavior to “an addiction” to porn, caused by sexual-related trauma in his childhood when he was “five years old.” Still, Conner says while filming Secret Lives he’s not “a victim” because the cheating scandal was caused by “actions he took.” Whew, that is a lot of “honesty is the best policy” hard at work.
