Jen Affleck isn’t living a secret life when it comes to her friendship with Whitney Leavitt.

Amid rumors that there is an ongoing feud between the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives costars—who are also among this season’s cast of Dancing With the Stars—Jen revealed whether she still has a relationship with Whitney.

“There is no relationship,” Jen—who was eliminated during the Oct. 28 Halloween episode of DWTS—told E! News’ Will Marfuggi in an exclusive interview. “Unfortunately, some things happened, so we’ve just taken a step back.”

Though she kept coy about what went down between them, the 26-year-old noted they both tried to keep their rift out of the ballroom.

“Because being on Dancing With the Stars was a dream of both of ours, we—at least for me—just wanted to make that experience only positive and leave the drama for our other show,” Jen continued. “Unfortunately, there [were] moments where it was hard [for it to not] bleed into Dancing With the Stars.”

She concluded, “But I’m happy for her and it’s a dream for her to be there, too. And honestly, even though we’re not on good terms, I do hope she makes it far. That’s all I have to say.”
