Jen Affleck’s Honest ‘DWTS’ Moment Has Fans Emotional

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives starJen Affleck once again has fans talking. Supporters are praising the reality star for her brutal honesty and resilience amid her Dancing With the Stars journey. The 33-year-old mom, who welcomed her third baby earlier this year, shared a heartfelt TikTok about her “baby blues” that’s resonating deeply with viewers.

The TikTok shows Affleck sitting on a couch in a Dancing With the Stars rehearsal space looking visibly down. The on-screen text reads, “POV: the postpartum blues start to creep in.” Her partner, Jan Ravnik, approaches and offers his hand. The two dance to Donna Summer’s “Last Dance.” Affleck captioned the post, “Depression can’t hit a moving target.”

Many SLOMW fans are moved by Affleck’s transparency and strength and quickly flooded the comments with support, applauding her openness about postpartum emotions.

“The entire internet thinks your a queen for going on DWTS postpartum and we also think you are being WAY underscored,” said one TikToker in the comments. “Your are an incredible dancer, mom, and wife! I’m rooting for you.”

“You are seriously killing it mama,” another supporter said.

“Please please please take care of yourself first, we can see in your eyes that it’s taxing on you,” another commenter suggested. “We love and support you no matter what! You dance your heart out baby!!!”

“Super inspirational that she is doing this so soon after having a baby,” said one Redditor. “I think Jan has been an amazing partner for her, at least mentally – he seems to really uplift her.” 

Still, there’s some concern that Affleck could be in danger of elimination, especially if Andy Richter is safe this week. “I’ve seen so much chatter that everyone thinks she’s going home next if Andy stays in,” the Reddit user pointed out in their post.

Will Affleck and Ravnik, 30, survive elimination on Halloween Night? Watch Dancing With the Stars Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, or stream the next day on Hulu.
