Whitney Leavitt is not yet certain about her status as a reality TV star.
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives original cast member is currently starring as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway alongside her former Dancing with the Stars partner Mark Ballas. On Wednesday, April 8, the pair appeared on Good Morning America to discuss their experience on stage and what lies ahead.
During the interview, Leavitt, 32, was asked what she expects of her future on Mormon Wives, and she admitted she's still trying to sort out what it will look like.

"We’re figuring it out in real time. I don’t really know," she said while sitting alongside Ballas, 39. "I feel sometimes that it’s time to venture out."
Referring to her current gig performing on Broadway, she added, "Like, this is what I’m passionate about."

Leavitt made her debut in the show on Feb. 2 and was originally scheduled to depart the production on March 15, but the show extended her run from March 23 through April 5 due to what it described as "an overwhelming demand."
The fourth season of Mormon Wives was released on March 12. Less than one week later, PEOPLE confirmed that production for the fifth season was halted in the wake of new domestic violence investigations naming costar Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex Dakota Mortensen.

Leavitt briefly addressed the controversy while speaking to Interview Magazine in March, telling the outlet, "I have a lot of emotions about it and I’m still processing everything that’s happening, but the safety of human beings, especially children, comes first." She has otherwise avoided weighing in.
In March, PEOPLE exclusively revealed that Ballas was joining Leavitt for a four-week limited engagement in Chicago from Monday, April 6, through Sunday, May 3. The news came several months after they made it to the semifinals on season 34 of Dancing with the Stars.
Before playing slick-talking lawyer Billy Flynn in Chicago, Ballas appeared on Broadway first in 2016, as Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys. He returned to the stage in 2018 for a run in Kinky Boots.
