Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt is attempting to set the record straight on her marriage to Conner Leavitt.
The 31-year-old mother-of-three took to TikTok with her husband to playfully shake off the rumor that they're in a 'lavender marriage' — a heterosexual union that people use to hide their true sexual orientation.
In a 14-second clip, the Leavitts perform the viral dance to cumbia tune Me Jalo by Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera.
'Proof this isn't a lavender marriage,' Whitney wrote across the snippet, jokingly adding 'FWB' in the caption, which is an abbreviation for 'friends with benefits.'
But fans weren't convinced, with one follower writing, 'I'm so sorry babe what was this supposed to achieve?' and racking up more than 43,000 likes.
Someone else added about Conner's enthusiastic delivery of the dance routine, 'Between the spirit fingers and little shimmy I think I'm definitely convinced this is a lavender marriage.'
Others continued to imply that the father-of-three is gay, with one person writing, 'Now I'm convinced this a lavender marriage,' and another agreeing, 'Sis, he did spirit fingers at the beginning.'
Another social media user emphatically declared, 'DENIAL IS A RIVER IN EGYPT.'
Last October the couple welcomed a third child, a son named Billy Gene Leavitt.
In addition to Billy, they are also parents to daughter Sedona, five, and son Liam, three.
'We are most excited about having our family complete. We've always wanted three kids and we're so happy everyone's here now,' Whitney told People after giving birth to Billy last year.
She also shared how they chose his name: 'We've always waited to name our children after meeting them, but with Billy, we fell in love with the name immediately — even before meeting him.'
'We loved the gender neutrality in the name since we weren't finding out the baby's gender until delivery, which we've never done before,' the Hulu star added.
Whitney recently shared behind-the-scenes footage from her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season two photo shoot, which saw her don a demure white dress while posing in a pool

Whitney recently shared behind-the-scenes footage from her Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season two photo shoot, which saw her don a demure white dress while posing in a pool.
Season one of the Hulu series took the streamer by storm, with fans quickly becoming engrossed in the messy lives of a clique of Mormon mothers and wives who had achieved notoriety on TikTok prior to appearing on television.
Whitney and Conner detailed one of their marriage struggles on the show — Connor's porn consumption.
The trad wife had previously hid the issue from her friend group as they navigated the fallout from their 'soft swinging' sex scandal.
At the end of the tumultuous inaugural season, Leavitt said she was exiting the drama-filled friend circle, but she is set to return for the upcoming second Hulu installment, which premieres on May 15.
