    From “MomTok” to the ballroom!

    “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt are joining the Season 34 cast of “Dancing With the Stars.”

    The exciting news was announced Monday night during Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Reunion Special.” Host Nick Viall — who was a contestant on Season 24 with Peta Murgatroyd — said during the special that “most” of the cast recently “auditioned” for the competition series while they were filming Season 3 of their own hit show.

    He then excitedly broke the news to Affleck, 26, and Leavitt, 32, that they had both made the cut — due to being “so adored” by the “DWTS” production crew.

    We hear the ladies are set to make a special appearance on “Good Morning America” early Tuesday as ABC makes their own official announcement live on-air.

    The casting news comes just days after Affleck made headlines for going into labor while in a nail salon.

    “POV: you start having contractions at your nail appointment,” the then-pregnant reality star hilariously captioned a clip shared to social media.

    At the time of publication, Affleck and her husband, Zac, had not provided any further updates on baby No. 3’s arrival. The two are also parents to daughter, Nora, 3, and son, Lucas, 1.

    Meanwhile, Leavitt was showing off her dance moves at a concert in Las Vegas ahead of the announcement. Disney

    Leavitt, meanwhile, recently showed off her dance moves while attending a concert in Las Vegas with her husband, Conner.

    “We are witnessing true talent,” the venue, Resorts World Las Vegas, joked in the comments section.

    The trip to Sin City marked their first getaway together since welcoming their third child, a baby boy named Billy Gene, back in October. They also share son Liam, 2, and daughter Sedona, 4.

    During Season 34 of “Dancing With the Stars,” Affleck and Leavitt — along with their pro dance partners — will compete against each other in hopes of winning the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. They’ll be joining previously announced contestants Robert Irwin and Alix Earle.

    Wildlife conservationist Irwin, 21, called the opportunity the “ultimate dream come true” in an official announcement video back in April, while TikTok star Earle, 24, told “GMA” viewers in May that she is “ready to challenge” herself and have “fun.”

    “I’ve always been a fan of ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ I used to watch it when I was so young with my grandma,” the influencer added. “She would always say to me, ‘Maybe one day you could be on there.’”

    The full list of celebrities and the pro dancers they’ll be competing with for the upcoming season will be announced at a later date.

    Last year’s cast included reigning Season 33 champions Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson. Disney
