“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Whitney Leavitt recently revealed she’s returning to Broadway.

The reality star and mother of three recently concluded her run in “Chicago” on Broadway in early May 2026.

Whitney Leavitt’s announcement that she’s making a comeback to the Broadway stage comes amid the TV personality’s ongoing feud with her “SLOMW” co-star, Taylor Frankie Paul.

Leavitt has been rewarded with several opportunities since joining the cast of Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”

In addition to “Dancing With the Stars,” the 33-year-old landed the lead role of Roxie Hart in the long-running Broadway musical “Chicago.”

Her limited run concluded in early May 2026, and just like that, her next role is right around the corner.

In a new Instagram Stories post, the Utah native informed her followers that she was making a comeback sooner rather than later.

“Your girl is gunna be back on Broadway soon,” she captioned a picture of her appearing to either sing or rehearse lines.

While Leavitt didn’t share details about which show she’ll be joining next, it’s certainly another major accomplishment in her ongoing list of career milestones.

Back in December 2025, Leavitt opened up about landing the role of Roxie Hart in “Chicago,” calling it a “surreal” moment.

According to Leavitt, she was thrilled after learning she’d been cast in the show, saying it was “everything that I’ve been manifesting” for some time. “Like, I can see it, and it’s there, and I’m reaching it, and I’m going after, and I’m just so grateful.”

She continued, “It just feels surreal. That’s the best word I can think of; just surreal.”

During her final show in “Chicago,” Leavitt also announced her departure from “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”

At the time, Leavitt changed one of the lines her character was supposed to say during the show to reveal the big news.

“Oh, erm, what is that? Let me see. Whitney Leavitt announces she’s leaving The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” her character said on stage.

Leavitt, who had come and gone throughout “SLOMW’s” first five seasons, spoke about her departure in different interviews and said she felt “content” with walking away.

“It’s honestly so crazy to me looking back on this journey because I had been trying to get into theater and film way before Secret Lives even came into my life,” she said. “We have been through so much together, even more than what you’ve seen. We’ve had really big highs, really big lows and no matter what happens with our relationships like that is something that will always be a part of our life, will always be a part of my life and I wouldn’t change a thing.”

Leavitt Will Be Part Of ‘SLOMW’ Season 5

Leavitt said she was full of “gratitude” regarding her “SLOMW” exit and thanked the series for essentially changing her life overnight.

“I feel like this is a chapter that’s closing in my life and honestly, I believe that’s how it was always meant to be. I’m so grateful for ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.’ It’s got me where I am today. It’s given me the opportunities that you all have seen but I’m ready. I’m ready for the next chapter and I cannot wait to share with you guys what’s next,” she continued.

Despite her exit, Leavitt will be part of season 5, according to Us Weekly. “Just to be very clear, I am finishing season 5. So yes, I will be in that season. But also yes, it will be my last. It’s honestly so crazy to me looking back on this journey because I had been trying to get into theater and film way before Secret Lives even came into my life,” Leavitt clarified in a social media video.

Leavitt Is Feuding With Taylor Frankie Paul

While the storylines for season 5 haven’t been revealed yet, it appears Leavitt’s contentious relationship with Paul will be one of them. A previous report from The Blast reveals that the two reality stars may have bumped heads while filming after eagle-eyed fans spotted Leavitt unfollowed Paul on Instagram.

Paul clapped back at Leavitt, saying, “Good. Since she is ‘leaving’ for the 100th time, I’ll give my last words about her. I stuck up for her since the hospital video. I bet she doesn’t even recall that. The show I gave her grace against a whole cast MULTIPLE times.”
