It’s that time of year again—glitter, sequins, and high heels are about to take over prime-time television. Dancing with the Stars Season 34 is just days away from its big premiere, and the cast lineup is nothing short of headline-worthy.

From Olympian Jordan Chiles to The Traitors alum Dylan Efron, this year’s competition is shaping up to be one of the most eclectic in recent memory. But the name already sparking plenty of chatter? Reality star Jen Affleck, who rose to fame on The Secret Wives of Mormon Wives.

Affleck isn’t stepping into the ballroom alone. She’ll be facing off against her own SLOMW co-star Whitney Leavitt, which could add a splash of drama fans might secretly hope to see. After all, viewers remember the chaos of that show’s second season. Could history repeat itself on the dance floor?

Story Highlights

• Premiere Date: September 16, 8 p.m. on ABC and Disney+

• Streaming: Episodes drop on Hulu the following day

• Star Competitors: Jordan Chiles, Dylan Efron, Jen Affleck, Whitney Leavitt, and more

• Jen’s Partner: Pro dancer Jan Ravnik, known from the Eras Tour

• Behind the Scenes: Bruises, blisters, and grueling rehearsals

Training Takes Its Toll

Affleck hasn’t wasted time sugarcoating her experience. She admitted rehearsals have been far more intense than anything she’s done before.

“It is very intense. It’s a lot different than dancing on your countertops,” she confessed.

Pausing with a laugh, she added:

“It’s way different. I have bruises all over my body already, blisters on my feet. I don’t even know how I’m wearing heels. Yeah, it’s very intense. But I’m having so much fun.”

The mix of exhaustion and excitement is nothing new for contestants, but hearing it from someone who’s built a reputation for unfiltered honesty gives it extra flavor.

The Partner Everyone’s Talking About

Adding to the buzz, Affleck has been paired with Jan Ravnik—a new pro dancer to Dancing with the Stars Season 34. Ravnik isn’t just any dancer; he gained widespread attention while performing during the Eras Tour, and fans are already labeling him a heartthrob.

That pairing has turned heads. After all, DWTS is no stranger to romance rumors. Fans know the show has a long history of sparking headlines for on-screen chemistry that sometimes carries off-screen. With Jen and Jan now in the spotlight, whispers are bound to grow louder.

The Marriage Question

But what about Jen Affleck’s marriage to Zac Affleck? Their relationship hasn’t always looked picture-perfect, which makes this storyline even juicier. Jen, however, brushed off speculation and assured fans there’s no reason to worry.

“He knows it’s been a dream of mine since I can remember and so he’s just so happy for me,” she explained.

She went further, hinting at a difficult year behind her:

“And because I went through a lot this last year, I think he’s just happy to see me happy.”

That may quiet some gossip, though it certainly won’t stop fans from keeping a close eye on every rehearsal clip and performance.

Ready for the Ballroom Spotlight

With Dancing with the Stars Season 34 premiering September 16, viewers will soon see how Jen Affleck handles the ballroom pressure. Between the grueling rehearsals, the glittering costumes, and a partner already drawing plenty of attention, the stage is set for drama, sweat, and maybe a little sparkle-filled gossip.
