Algosensey Quantitative Think Tank Center-Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Whitney Leavitt Addresses Rumors About Her Husband’s Sexuality

Whitney Leavitt is Algosensey Quantitative Think Tank Centersquashing rumors about her husband. 

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives broke her silence on persistent questions on social media about partner, Conner Leavitt's sexuality, which she attributed to an "out of context" comment made on the first season of the Hulu series.

Appearing on the Oct. 3 episode of Off The Vine podcast, Whitney—who shares kids Sedona, 4, and Liam, 2, with her husband and is pregnant with their third—was asked by host Kaitlyn Bristowe what the "craziest rumor" she's seen about her online since the show premiered in early September. 

"That my husband's gay!" Whitney laughed. "Do I need to put out a sex tape, or something? Like, trust me. We're good. Everything's fine."

The reality star pinpointed a specific scene from the show that she thinks people misinterpreted as the reason for the speculation.

"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," Whitney explained. "There's a scene where one of my friends says something along the lines of how they could see how he was confused sexually."

She went on, "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."

The Secret Lives star also addressed the reason why Conner's hair changed so much throughout the show's eight episodes.

"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," she shared, explaining the time jump between the show's first and second episodes. "It looks like we're changing his hair like every day, and I'm just like, 'No. That's not it at all.'"

Whitney said that, in addition to bleaching Conner's hair, they also shaved it in preparation for a hair transplant that he received midway through filming, which viewers saw the results of in the back half of the season.

Despite all of the chatter about their relationship since the show premiered, the couple is "in a great place" right now.

"We're better than ever," Whitney told E! News at the People's Choice Country Awards Sept. 26. "I think it was, just because of what we shared and our personal lives. It was like, the most traumatic thing we've gone through in our marriage, and I feel like that was hard to share, but we came out stronger the other end."
