Jen Affleck made her ‘Dancing With The Stars’ debut

Following the Tuesday, September 16 premiere of DWTS, Jen Affleck admitted to Page Six that she feels “physically exhausted.”

She shared that she is “trying to find a balance” now that she has so many irons in the fire.

“It is a lot,” Affleck summarized.

“I am working out half the day [and] coming home exhausted,” she described.

“But,” Affleck pointed out, “I’ve got three babies to take care of.”

And apparently, she takes care of many other duties, even with DWTS.

“I’ve gotta cook, clean, and do all the normal things you do as a mom,” she listed.

“But that’s how you know I’m a mom. Us moms, we just do it.”

Ravnik was quick to jump in and emphasize that Affleck is totally “killing it” on the dance floor.

“She’s one of a kind,” the professional dancer raved.

“It was so much fun,” Affleck gushed about her “NUEVAYoL” salsa from the premiere night.

“I’m on cloud nine. I was so stressed.”

She explained: “I’m so used to dancing on my countertops where it’s just my three babies watching me.”

Affleck continued: “And the fact that there are millions of people watching me is kind of crazy. I tried to block that out and pretend it was just my babies.”
