It’s almost that time already! Dancing with the Stars is days from premiering its 34th season. The cast is absolutely star studded, with everyone from gymnast Jordan Chiles to The Traitors alum Dylan Efron competing. One of the first contestants to be announced was none other than Jen Affleck.
Known for The Secret Wives of Mormon Wives, she will be taking the dance floor. In fact, she will be facing off against one of her SLOMW co-stars, Whitney Leavitt. Based on the show’s chaotic second season, DWTS might be the change of pace these two need. Yet, based on Jess’ initial comments about the process, it may be just as rough for her.
Dancing with the Stars training is already intense for Jen Affleck
Now in her first wave of DWTS rehearsals, Jen recently spoke up about her experience, and it hasn’t been easy.
“It is very intense. It’s a lot different than dancing on your countertops. 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,” she told Decider.
Jess also addressed the elephant in the room, the elephant being the romantic nature of the show. After all, she has been paired with Jan Ravnik, a new pro dancer to DWTS and an undeniable heartthrob, thanks to the Eras tour. This may cause a riff with her husband Zac Affleck, as fans know their relationship isn’t exactly perfect. Nonetheless, the reality TV star is convinced that a few on-screen performances with a hunk won’t ruin her marriage.
“He knows it’s been a dream of mine since I can remember and so he’s just so happy for me. And because I went through a lot this last year, I think he’s just happy to see me happy.”
Dancing with the Stars Season 34 will premiere on Tuesday, September 16, at 8 p.m. on ABC and Disney+. It will stream on Hulu the next day.
