An original cast member of Hulu’s “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” confirmed that she will be leaving the reality show.

Whitney Leavitt first broke the news on stage in New York during her last show as Roxie Hart in “Chicago” on Sunday.

She later confirmed the news on her Instagram account on Tuesday morning.

Leavitt has been an integral part of the reality show.

In the first season, she took on the villain role, and even though she left and rejoined MomTok a handful of times, the show became a launchpad for her career.

Since her first appearance on the show, Leavitt has been cast in “Dancing with the Stars,” on Broadway as Roxie Hart and will soon star in and produce a holiday rom-com.

Her family has moved from Utah to California to New York.

In the Instagram video, she said this time she is “leaving with gratitude.”

“I feel content, I feel like this is a chapter that is closing in my life,” Leavitt said. “And honestly, I believe that’s how it was always meant to be. I’m so grateful for ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.’ It’s gotten me where I am today.”

Leavitt said she will finish filming the fifth season of the show before she leaves.
