“I had no idea obviously — no one could — of the longevity of its life."
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt had a special guest cheering her on for Disney Week on Dancing With the Stars. The 32-year-old mom of three was joined by her five-year-old daughter Sedona, and she's since shared a behind-the-scenes video documenting their magical evening.
"A night I will never forget. I love you so much Sedona," Levitt captioned the video shared to Instagram, in which her daughter can first be seen excitedly greeting her at the door of her trailer. "Hello baby! You look beautiful," she says in the clip, gushing over her daughter wearing a princess-style gown covered in shimmery stars.
From there, they head into the studio, where Sedona can be seen in the audience enthusiastically cheering on her mom. After finishing her Hamilton inspired routine with partner Mark Ballas, Leavitt rushed over to her daughter, who was waiting offstage to hand her a rose.
And it seems as though Sedona was a good luck charm for Leavitt. She and Ballas have landed at the top off the leaderboard every episode since Week 1, but during the Week 4 episode her daughter attended on Tuesday, Oct. 7, the pair were the sole couple at the top of the leaderboard in addition to Leavitt receiving the first nine score of the season.

Speaking with People ahead of the episode, Leavitt said that Sedona was excited about attending her first show since she's been competing on Dancing With the Stars.
"My oldest daughter hasn't come to a show yet, but she is going to come to Disney Week, which I'm really excited about," she said. "It's going to be really cute."
"I mean, of course, she'd love for me to be a Disney princess or something, I'm sure, because she's my little princess," Leavitt explained, given the theme of the night. "I think she's just going to enjoy the night. It's Disney!"
The breakout reality star noted that her husband and kids bring her bring her "so much strength and joy," and that the experience has been a full-circle moment for her. In addition to Sedona, Leavitt shares sons Liam, 3, and 1-year-old Billy with her husband, Conner Leavitt.

"I went from being the little girl on stage waving to my parents in the audience, to now having my own kids watching me and hopefully seeing what it looks like to chase a dream with courage and heart," she added. "Knowing they’re proud of me keeps me going, even on the hardest rehearsal days."
