And the Dancing With The Stars pro shared that family ranks number one with her. As a result, moving her family across the country for filming DWTS didn’t feel like the right move at this time. “You guys know that family is the most important thing to me,” said Witney. “And we just really felt that moving our entire family across the country right now was not for us.”

The DWTS pro, who moved with her family to Florida recently, added, “Leo’s at an age where he needs consistency and dependability. And he hasn’t had that ever since he’s been born. So, we’re just really trying to give him that right now.”

But after giving birth to Jet last May, Witney also admitted that she does not feel “mentally and physically ready for what the show calls for.” However, the dance pro does plan to make her comeback eventually. And Carson gushed, “I love dance. That is my passion, so this was definitely a hard decision.”
