The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em><\/a>\u2018 Zac Affleck<\/strong> got a little help from Conner Leavitt<\/strong> when addressing those \u201clavender marriage\u201d rumors.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the lavender marriage rumors finally get to you but you have each others backs,\u201d Zac, 28, captioned a TikTok<\/a> on Thursday, June 19, which featured a transition that showed Conner, 29, with his legs around Zac\u2019s shoulders.<\/p>\n Zac noted that the video was a way to \u201cwelcome\u201d Conner<\/a> to DadTok. Conner replied to the video, writing, \u201cAlways hear [sic] for you bro. Day or night.\u201d In response to a fan joking that the video was \u201cgiving double lavender marriage,\u201d Zac noted, \u201cYeah that was the joke lol.\u201d<\/p>\n Conner and his wife, Whitney Leavit<\/strong>t, have leaned into speculation regarding their marriage after The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em> premiered in September 2024. During the season 1 premiere, Conner and Whitney, 32, relocated back to Utah<\/a> from Hawaii after previously leaving when Conner admitted to having a secret Tinder account to solicit NSFW images.<\/p>\n Conner and Whitney, who shared two kids at the time, worked on their marriage and later expanded their family with a third baby.<\/p>\n \u201cIt takes time and it takes a lot of work. I remember being in therapy and my therapist asked me, \u2018Before we even dive into this, you need to decide is this something you want to work out or something you don\u2019t want to work out?\u2019\u201d Whitney exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> in September 2024. \u201cIt was something I really had to sit down [and think] \u2018Did I want to rebuild this trust?\u2019 That doesn\u2019t mean that things aren\u2019t still triggering to me. When it is, then I\u2019m going to work it out and just keep moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n Whitney admitted that a lot of the good parts of their marriage didn\u2019t make it on screen.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThere were a lot of powerful moments between Conner and I that weren\u2019t [included] in the season, which is OK \u2014 I\u2019m not the editor,\u201d she said on \u201cThe Squeeze\u201d podcast that same month. \u201cThere\u2019s this moment where we\u2019re filming the pilot and the showrunner asked us about [why] we left for Hawaii and it wasn\u2019t this conversation of us bringing this onto the show. It wasn\u2019t some preconceived conversation that Conner and I had.\u201d<\/p>\n Whitney added: \u201cConner just looked at me and shared everything. It was so vulnerable and so emotional, and so incredibly powerful. I\u2019m so proud of him for that because that needed to be a decision from him not from me.\u201d<\/p>\n The reality star continued to praise Conner for putting in the work.<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cHe had a porn addiction for a really long time and that was something that was, obviously, really hard to overcome. I didn\u2019t even know that was going on,\u201d she noted. \u201cWhen you go through something that tough and you come out the other end, man, your relationship is stronger than ever. It sucks, but holy hell, I\u2019m grateful for where we are now.\u201d<\/p>\n After viewers started to speculate about Conner\u2019s sexuality<\/a>, the pair enjoyed poking fun at the comments on TikTok.<\/p>\n \u201cDo I need to put out a sex tape or something? Trust me, we\u2019re good. Like, everything is fine,\u201d Whitney quipped on the \u201cOff the Vine\u201d podcast in October 2024. \u201cI think it\u2019s because like when we were going through our personal stuff \u2014 and I know you haven\u2019t seen it, but he struggled through a porn addiction \u2014 and there\u2019s a scene where one of my friends says something along the lines like, \u2018Oh, I can see how he was confused sexually.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Whitney added that her husband was sexually assaulted at a \u201cvery young age\u201d and has \u201cworked through\u201d the trauma, adding that he\u2019s \u201cso inspiring.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n
