Jen Affleck‘s Dancing With the Stars journey has hit a setback.
Her husband Zac Affleck shared that the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star has been unable to rehearse with pro Jan Ravnik for Oct. 14’s Dedication Night show amid a recent illness.
“This week she has been so sick,” Zac wrote on TikTok on Oct. 13. “She hasn’t been able to practice, and has been stuck in bed most of the week.”
“Call it chance or God, but her Mom has been in town this week to make her homemade meals and help take care of her,” Zac continued. “Jen would never ask but she really needs all the help and prayers she can get!”
Indeed, for her Dedication Night show, Jen has been set to honor her mom Maria as well as her and Zac’s kids Nora, 3, Lucas, 2, and Penelope, 3 months, with a Viennese Waltz to Lauren Daigle‘s song “Rescue.”
But during Disney night, where she and Jan performed a jazz routine to the Aladdin track “Friend Like Me,” she took a moment to give her husband of six years a sweet shoutout.
