DWTS and Mormon Wives Standout Leaps to the Big Screen with a Festive Holiday Rom-Com Debut
DWTS and Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt is making the leap to the big screen, headlining a holiday romantic comedy in her feature debut.
Whitney Leavitt is taking the next swing: from reality TV and social media fame to leading a feature film. And she is not just starring in it — she is also calling some shots behind the scenes.
The project
Leavitt will headline a holiday romantic comedy called 'All For Love', developed by Ninth House Productions and aiming for a 2026 release. It is her first time anchoring a scripted feature and her first film producing credit, with her on board as an executive producer. The movie is already rolling cameras.
What it is about
Leavitt plays Winona, a well-known podcaster who dishes out advice on modern relationships for a living, but is still trying to sort out her own. Enter Luke — played by Jesse Kove — a contractor and event space owner hired to renovate a property that belongs to Winona's grandmother. They end up working in close quarters as the holidays creep in and, shocker, the dynamic shifts from 'job site' to 'something real.'
First look
People shared early photos from the set that lean fully into the seasonal vibe: Winona and Luke shoulder to shoulder, holiday decor in the background, the whole cozy setup.
Why this is a notable move
If you have been tracking Leavitt lately, the timing makes sense. She has been expanding fast — from 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' to primetime reality TV and now film — and stepping in as an executive producer on her debut feature is a very deliberate, industry-facing power move.
Where else you will see her
- Recent: Appeared on Season 34 of 'Dancing With the Stars'.
- Next: Broadway debut as Roxie Hart in 'Chicago' at the Ambassador Theatre in New York City, running February 2 through March 15, 2026.
- Film: 'All For Love' is targeting a 2026 release.
So, to spell it out clearly: 'All For Love' is the movie, it is shooting now, it is a holiday rom-com, Leavitt is the lead and an executive producer, and Jesse Kove is the love interest. Straightforward premise, strong career pivot, very on-brand for her current trajectory.
