Dancing With the Stars’ Whitney Leavitt Reacts to Emily Blunt Comparisons

Watch:Whitney Leavitt Share What Man Bachelorette Taylor Frankie Paul Should Go For (Exclusive)

Whitney Leavitt had to gird her loins for these comments.

After all, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star couldn’t help but gush over comments noting her resemblance to Emily Blunt.

“I am getting it, but like a lot lately, like more than usual,” Whitney exclusively told E! News after her performance on Dancing With the Stars Sept. 23. “I love her so, thank you! I’ll take it.”

The 32-year-old even teased taking a page out of her costar Jen Affleck‘s playbook by feigning a closer connection to the Devil Wears Prada actress.

Whitney—who is partnered with Mark Ballas—quipped, “Should I start saying she’s my cousin?”

After pointing out that Jen’s husband Zac Affleck had told viewers on Mormon Wives that he and Ben Affleck were second cousins, Whitney turned to the camera, laughing, “She’s my cousin.” (For more with Whitney and this season’s DWTS cast, tune into E! News tonight, Sept. 24 at 11 p.m.)

Dancing With the Stars’ Jen Affleck Reveals What It Was Really Like Meeting Ben Affleck

Whitney isn’t the only Utah star showing out on the ballroom floor. In fact, Jen—who tied with Whitney, Robert Irwin and Jordan Chiles for first last night—is teamed up with Jan Ravnik to try and take that Mirrorball trophy home.

While Jen’s husband may not actually be related to Ben and Casey Affleck—which was confirmed in season two of Mormon Wives after initially confirming they were—it hasn’t stopped her from poking fun at the news with a recent Dunkin’ commercial.

When Jen teamed up with the Good Will Hunting actor, she was able to give Zac a quasi-family reunion. As she revealed to E! after the show, “He met Ben Affleck. We both did. He was right there. Yeah, it was a crazy moment for us.”

“It’s so funny, because before he was like, ‘I’m not nervous at all. It’s no big deal. Whatever,'” the 26-year-old continued. “And then he walked into our trailer, and I think everyone lost it. Everyone was like, ‘Ah, Ben Affleck!'”

While Jen—who shares kids Nora, 3, Lucas, 2, and 2-month-old Penelope with Zac—made her husband’s dreams come true, he has done the same for her.

“I wouldn’t be able to do this without my village and everyone supporting me,” she added. “I have my husband at home doing everything that I would be doing right now at home, like cleaning, cooking. I have family and friends that are helping. That’s how I’m juggling it.”
