In a video posted to her account, she showed the real struggle. The caption read <b>&#8220;POV: the postpartum blues start to creep in.&#8221;<\/b> In the clip, she sat unmotivated while her partner <b>Jan Ravnik<\/b> danced to <b>Donna Summer&#8217;s &#8220;Last Dance.&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>But then something shifted. <b>Ravnik<\/b> convinced her to join him. They danced together as she captioned the moment differently: <b>&#8220;Depression can&#8217;t hit a moving target.&#8221;<\/b> Her honesty sparked an outpouring of fan support.<\/p>\n<blockquote style='border-left: 4px solid #3498db;padding-left: 20px;margin: 20px 0;font-style: italic;color: #555'>\n<p>&#8220;I think if I didn&#8217;t have Dancing with the Stars, I&#8217;d probably be dealing with baby blues and potentially postpartum depression.&#8221;<\/p>\n<footer style='margin-top: 10px;font-style: normal;font-size: 0.9em'>\u2014 <b>Jen Affleck<\/b>, to People Magazine<\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>She&#8217;s not alone in this experience. <b>Postpartum depression diagnosis rates<\/b> increased from <b>9.4% in 2010<\/b> to <b>19% in 2021.<\/b> Yet less than <b>20% of women<\/b> are screened for it. Celebrity openness about mental health helps normalize these conversations.<\/p>\n<h2>Balancing DWTS, Motherhood, and Mormon Wives Season 4<\/h2>\n<p><b>Jen&#8217;s<\/b> schedule is genuinely demanding. She splits her time between <b>Los Angeles<\/b> and <b>Utah<\/b>. This week alone meant <b>DWTS<\/b> rehearsals with <b>Ravnik<\/b> collided with filming <b>Mormon Wives Season 4<\/b> scenes. She manages three children: <b>Luca<\/b> (age 2), <b>Nora<\/b> (age 3), and newborn <b>Penelope.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Despite the chaos, <b>Jen&#8217;s<\/b> attitude remains grounded. She told <b>PEOPLE<\/b> that family priorities matter most. She spends downtime with her kids and her supportive husband <b>Zac.<\/b> He even decorated her <b>DWTS<\/b> trailer with hundreds of encouraging fan messages. <b>Zac<\/b> also surprised her with flowers after performances.<\/p>\n<p>The physical toll is real. <b>Jen<\/b> admitted her body still hurts from childbirth recovery. She joked about whether her &#8220;pelvic floor is ready&#8221; for dancing. Yet she continues pushing through weekly choreography and competition. This determination inspires viewers who see their own struggles reflected.<\/p>\n<h2>The Mental Health Message Celebrities Are Sending<\/h2>\n<p><b>Jen&#8217;s<\/b> candor joins a crucial conversation. Other celebrities like <b>Cardi B<\/b>, <b>Kylie Jenner<\/b>, and <b>Jenna Dewan<\/b> have spoken about postpartum depression. Their openness reduces stigma around seeking help. <b>Mental health professionals<\/b> note that <b>80% of new parents<\/b> experience some baby blues. Most recover naturally, but <b>1 in 5 women<\/b> develop clinical postpartum depression.<\/p>\n<p>Celebrities normalizing this reality changes outcomes. Women listen to famous figures more than doctors sometimes. When <b>Jen Affleck<\/b> says <b>&#8220;depression can&#8217;t hit a moving target,&#8221;<\/b> she&#8217;s validating both struggle and resilience. Movement helps. Community helps. And speaking up definitely helps.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>2025 Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week<\/b> emphasized community support. <b>Jen&#8217;s<\/b> journey demonstrates this principle in real time. She&#8217;s not pretending to be perfect. She&#8217;s showing up authentically.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s Next for Jen on DWTS and Beyond<\/h2>\n<p>Season 34 continues through <b>November 25, 2025.<\/b> Jen is competing in the <b>top nine.<\/b> She performs alongside other standout dancers including <b>Jordan Chiles<\/b>, <b>Robert Irwin<\/b>, and fellow <b>Mormon Wives<\/b> star <b>Whitney Leavitt.<\/b> Each week brings different themes and musical choices. <b>Wicked Night<\/b> just wrapped up.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ravnik<\/b> continues praising her work ethic. Audiences vote for their favorites each week. The <b>Mirror Ball Trophy<\/b> remains the ultimate goal. But perhaps more importantly, <b>Jen<\/b> is raising awareness about postpartum mental health.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <b>Mormon Wives Season 4<\/b> cameras roll in <b>Utah.<\/b> Production happens simultaneously with <b>DWTS<\/b> rehearsals. <b>Jen<\/b> manages both commitments without backing down. She&#8217;s also appearing on <b>Hulu<\/b> with her season 4 storyline already filming.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Jen&#8217;s Story Matters Right Now?<\/h2>\n<p><b>Postpartum depression<\/b> often goes unrecognized and untreated. Women suffer in silence due to stigma and lack of screening. But when someone like <b>Jen Affleck<\/b>\u2014followed by <b>1.3 million<\/b> on social media\u2014speaks openly, it changes the narrative.<\/p>\n<p>Her partnership with <b>Jan Ravnik<\/b> models healthy support systems. Her husband <b>Zac<\/b> actively encourages and celebrates her. Her mother danced with her during <b>Dedication Night.<\/b> Community matters for recovery. Movement matters. Professional help matters.<\/p>\n<p>Will watching <b>Jen<\/b> stick to the <b>DWTS<\/b> dance floor help other postpartum mothers? Absolutely. She&#8217;s proving that mental health struggles don&#8217;t define your worth. They don&#8217;t prevent you from pursuing dreams. And speaking about them creates space for others to do the same. That&#8217;s powerful television beyond the competition itself.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Us Weekly<\/b> &#8211; Exclusive interview on Jen Affleck&#8217;s postpartum struggles during DWTS rehearsals<\/li>\n<li><b>People Magazine<\/b> &#8211; Comprehensive coverage of Jen filming Mormon Wives Season 4 during DWTS season<\/li>\n<li><b>Mental Health Policy Center<\/b> &#8211; 2025 postpartum depression statistics and maternal mental health data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":13256,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"schema_org_data":"{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Jen Affleck\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/9F0ZLvswkYPQHA3ffSbGin5iWbZ.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/5016948\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Jan Ravnik\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/n2mdbxM1gqx6jL9CSJYIiOEqMDP.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/3842021\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Whitney Leavitt\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/3iwFG8jTnOywhjZygyPJ81lnhhv.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/4656256\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Jordan Chiles\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/4386425\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Robert Irwin\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/2170934\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Cardi B\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/x3hazhdT0Lcpv2ys4WG6Af2F24S.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1562344\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Kylie Jenner\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/hQx8UnvYSSJfsDqvwgvvZpnDSzu.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1695682\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Jenna Dewan\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/8zZkN1ewGxN8MHiqB8lRmBle8yf.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/20381\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Donna Summer\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/4FfP56hg3p8fySvsImt3V6jlik8.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/192339\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Zac\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/3340677\"]},{\"@type\":\"TVSeries\",\"name\":\"Dancing with the Stars\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/5ropLAggzraCNoT6QPltb9lxeP3.jpg\",\"dateCreated\":\"2005-06-01\",\"aggregateRating\":{\"@type\":\"AggregateRating\",\"ratingValue\":6.033,\"bestRating\":\"10\",\"ratingCount\":120},\"description\":\"The competition sees celebrities perform choreographed dance routines which are judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts and voted on by viewers.
