And while Conner and Adele—who joined season 35 after winning the DWTS spinoff The Next Pro—were voted off following their salsa dance to “Whoomp! There It Is,” he admitted that his unpleasant feelings weren’t related to their low scores or “criticisms” of their performance.
“I was embarrassed because I felt like people were throwing my past mistakes in my face,” Conner shared. “I felt like they used this opportunity to poke fun and make fun of my past.”
But he emphasized, “I don’t live there anymore. My eyes are forward.”
Conner didn’t share specifics about his past mistakes, but he has previously opened up about some hurdles he’s had to overcome. In fact, when the 32-year-old and Whitney first appeared on screen during the The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives series premiere in 2024, the couple—who share kids Sedona, 6, Liam, 4, and Billy, 22 months—discussed Conner’s struggles with porn addiction along with using Tinder during their marriage.
