The tea we’ve all been waiting for! The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt is opening up about THOSE rumors regarding her hubby Conner Leavitt!
If you don’t know, a big portion of the first season of the Hulu series focused on relationship struggles between the husband and wife. Conner had been caught on Tinder — and the rumors about his infidelity quickly spread to both Reddit and her co-stars. Whitney initially lied about the controversy, but ultimately opened up to her friends, revealing that Conner had been talking to women on the internet and sharing nude photos (though he claimed he never met up with anyone).

Well, since then, fans have been speculating about her man’s sexuality. And Whitney is finally ready to set the record straight!
On Thursday’s episode of Kaitlyn Bristowe‘s Off The Vine podcast, The Bachelorette alum wondered what was the “craziest rumor” Whitney had heard about herself since the show premiered last month. The Mormon #MomTok star was quick to say:
“That my husband’s gay!”
She then joked:
“Do I need to put out a sex tape, or something? Like, trust me. We’re good. Everything’s fine.”
LOLz! We doubt her conservative Utah community would approve of that!
As for why she thinks this rumor has spread so much, she attributed it to viewers misinterpreting a comment on-screen. About that, she explained:
“I think it’s because when we were going through our personal stuff — and I know you haven’t seen it — but he struggled through a porn addiction. There’s a scene where one of my friends says something along the lines of how they could see how he was confused sexually.”
However, she insists this had nothing to do with who he was attracted to but rather a reference to his dark past in general! She added:
“He was sexually assaulted at a very young age. It’s a trauma he’s worked through; it’s so inspiring. And I think people kind of took that out of context.”
That’s certainly difficult to process!
But there’s more, too. Fans also felt his ever-changing hair was a clue. However, Whitney credits the time it took to film the eight-episode season for that, sharing:
“When you watch it, his hair is changing so much. But, again, we’re filming the pilot and then two years later it’s the season. It looks like we’re changing his hair like every day, and I’m just like, ‘No. That’s not it at all.'”
That said, he did go through a big hair transformation IRL! The soon-to-be mother of three dished that Conner shaved his hair at one point in preparation for a hair transplant — which he had done midway through filming. Fans saw the results in the back half of the season. So, his hair really was changing constantly. Fans weren’t wrong to be noticing that! Hah!
BTW, at last week’s People’s Choice Country Awards, the reality star also told E! News that the couple is “better than ever.” So, that settles that! No need to be worried for these two, apparently.
