Jen Affleck's estranged husband alleged to have disrupted her Dancing With the Stars experience

A source familiar with the production of Dancing With the Stars said Jen Affleck’s estranged husband, Zac Affleck, created a difficult environment for her during Season 34. The insider claimed Zac prevented professional partner Jan Ravnik from fully performing his duties and made crew members feel they had to “tiptoe around him.”

"Jan was a total professional and dealt with it, but Zac was much more controlling than any other partner that season," the source said.

According to the source, Zac also restricted Jen’s choreography and costume choices, asserting his dominance over the routine. The source added that Jan, a first-time professional dancer, experienced a stressful week because of Zac’s behavior.

Representatives for Jen Affleck, Zac Affleck and the Dancing With the Stars production did not respond to requests for comment. Jen filed for divorce in Utah on Nov. 3, after seven years of marriage and three children, with a fourth child on the way. The filing reportedly includes a proposed parenting plan, though most details remain sealed.

The couple met on a Mormon dating app in 2018, married in 2019, and have three children—Nora, 4; Lucas, 3; and Penelope, 1. Jen, 27, is currently pregnant.

During a prior interview on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Zac expressed frustration that Jen’s participation in Dancing With the Stars had taken precedence over their marriage. He also voiced displeasure with a segment filmed at Disneyland for the show’s “Disney Night.”

Jen was eliminated in Week 7 of the competition during “Halloween Night.” The couple’s marital issues continued to be discussed in the fifth season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, where Zac was described as struggling to support Jen’s career aspirations. Jen, a MomTok creator, is set to join the full-time cast of Hulu’s upcoming The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, which premieres Thursday.
