Fans are worried about Dancing With The Stars contestant Jen Affleck after her husband revealed the mother-of-three has been unable to rehearse all week due to illness.
On TikTok Sunday, Oct. 12, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star’s husband Zac revealed she had been sidelined most of the week due to an unspecified sickness.
“This week she has been so sick she hasn’t been able to practice, and has been stuck in bed most of the week,” Zac wrote. “Jen would never ask but she needs all the help and prayers she can get!”
In the comment section, fans sent well wishes to the reality tv star ahead of her most crucial DWTS performance.
“We love you Jen!! Hoping you feel better soon, you always bring a smile on the dance floor and your smile makes everyone else smile!! 🩷🙏🏼,” wrote one fan. “As someone who isn’t a mom yet, she is inspiring to those who inspire to be mothers. Rooting for Jen!!!!” added another.

Tuesday’s DWTS show is “Dedication Night,” where couples dedicate emotional dances to influential people in their lives. Jen and her partner Jan Ravnik are set to perform a Viennese Waltz to “Rescue” by Lauren Daigle, dedicating the routine to her mother, Maria.
It appears Jen made it to rehearsals at least once this week, as a photo posted by the DWTS official Instagram shows Jen, Jan, and Maria all in studio together. Zac also mentioned in his TikTok that Maria has stepped in to take care of her daughter while in town for the special occasion.
