Jen Affleck Gets Emotional as Zac Gifts Her DWTS Dress

Zac Affleck’s Christmas surprise brings back Jen Affleck’s DWTS memories

Jen Affleck had an emotional Christmas moment after receiving a deeply personal gift from her husband, Zac Affleck. The reality star, best known for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, shared the heartfelt surprise with fans on social media.

In a TikTok video, Jen is seen opening a card while Zac stands behind her holding a wrapped present. Before even seeing what was inside, she became emotional and admitted that she had been crying easily lately, joking that everything seemed to be making her tear up.

As she unwrapped the gift, Jen quickly realized what it was — the gold dress she wore during TikTok Night on Dancing with the Stars. The costume instantly brought back memories from her time on the show, where she competed alongside professional dancer Jan Ravnik and finished in ninth place.

Wiping away tears, Jen told Zac that the dress had been her favorite. Zac explained that he chose it to represent her postpartum journey, making the gift even more meaningful. The couple shares three children: Penny, who is five months old, Luca, 2, and Nora, 4.

The emotional moment ended with a warm hug, as Jen admired the dress and jokingly said it was better than the Mirrorball Trophy awarded to the show’s winners. She playfully asked how Zac could ever top such a thoughtful present, to which he replied that she would have to keep doing amazing things.

Since her elimination from Dancing with the Stars earlier this fall, Jen has been enjoying quality family time. She previously shared that leaving the competition allowed her to be home in time to celebrate Nora’s fourth birthday, calling it a silver lining.

Following her exit from the show, Jen reflected on the experience with gratitude, writing that while it was hard to say goodbye, she was proud of what she accomplished and happy to show her children what their mom is capable of achieving.
