Watch: DWTS' Jen Affleck Hints at Beef With Mormon Wives Costar Whitney Leavitt After Elimination

Zac Affleck isn’t dancing around his feelings. 

Days after his wife Jen Affleck was eliminated from Dancing With the Stars, Zac—who shares Nora, 3, and Lucas, 2, and Penelope, 8 months, with Jen—firmly shut down any suggestion he was happy to see the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star’s time on the ballroom floor come to an end.

In fact, after the Oct. 28 DWTS episode, one TikToker reenacted Zac’s reaction to Jen and partner Jan Ravnik’s elimination—using a popular trend where a person pretends to look sad before turning their face to the camera and smiling for a split second before looking sad again, prompting Zac to weigh in.

"Youre honestly disgusting," he wrote in the comments, "Grow up."

While the couple has had their challenges—including rumors of a split last year—Jen recently shared an "appreciation post" for Zac.

"He’s the one who checks that l’ve actually eaten breakfast," Jen wrote on Instagram Oct. 7, "who reminds me to sleep and makes sure I get real rest. What you don’t see are all the quiet ways he keeps us going-cooking, cleaning, kid duty, and those late-night shifts with Penny."

"This journey truly wouldn’t be possible without him," she concluded, "and for that, I am forever grateful." 

While Jen and Jan ultimately won't take home the Mirrorball trophy, she's still grateful for the opportunity.

“This experience has been everything,” Jen told E! News following the Oct. 28 Halloween episode. “To be honest, I’m just excited to go home and journal all about it, because I don’t want to forget any moment.”

And she even got to spend her last night on the show living out a "dream" of hers as she danced with Jan to Taylor Swift's “Look What You Made Me Do."

“Not only were we able to end off very strong and on a good note, I feel like I was able to fulfill almost like a dream of mine,” Jen said. “The fact that I was able to dance to a Taylor Swift song, with one of Taylor Swift’s amazing dancers, I mean that’s a win right there.”
