Jen Affleck is loving her “Dancing with the Stars” Season 34 journey, and on Disney Night on Tuesday, October 7, she delivered an incredible performance. But being on the show has not been easy, and there have been challenging moments where she has had to lean on her husband, Zac Affleck, for support.
Jen Affleck Praises Her Loving Husband
Ahead of Show Day on October 7, Jen posted several photos of herself and Zac on Instagram, giving a glimpse into their relationship. There are also short video clips of him supporting her from the audience and bringing their kids to watch the show. It is a beautiful celebration of love. In the caption, she penned a heartfelt tribute.
“Appreciation post for this guy. He’s the one who checks that l’ve actually eaten breakfast, who reminds me to sleep and makes sure I get real rest,” she wrote. “What you don’t see are all the quiet ways he keeps us going-cooking, cleaning, kid duty, and those late-night shifts with Penny. This journey truly wouldn’t be possible without him, and for that, I am forever grateful.”
Fans flooded the comment section with their messages. “I love that I’m team Zac now,” a fan wrote. “I love you guys!! So proud of your growth through seasons of life,” another person wrote.
Jen Affleck’s Disney Night Performance
Jen and her professional partner, Jan Ravnik, are safe to dance another night, and fans will be looking forward to what they bring to Week 5. Their performance for Disney Night saw them transform into Princess Jasmine and the Genie to dance a Jazz routine to “Friend Like Me” from “Aladdin.”
The judges scored them 23 out of 30, putting them in the middle of the pack. The reactions to their dance on the official “Dancing with the Stars” Instagram account reveal that fans feel the pair should have been scored higher.
“Why are the judges so harsh on Jen?! She can dance and has the cutest personality,” a comment reads. “Can we stop underscoring her?” another person shared.
Affleck gave birth to her third baby just three months ago, and her ability to perform so well and work so hard to make the most of the DWTS experience is a testament to her strength. “It’s been the best thing for me,” Affleck told Extra on September 30, of competing right after birth. “I feel like if I wasn’t I would probably be dealing with the harder things like baby blues and postpartum depression. It’s honestly been a blessing.”
