Witney Carson and Guillermo Rodriguez may not have tangoed their way to the Mirrorball trophy, but the dance pro still considers their Dancing With the Stars journey a success.

That’s why she has a sunny outlook after the Jimmy Kimmel Live! personality was eliminated during the Oct. 13 episode of the ballroom dance competition.

“Both Guillermo and I were very content with the results,” Witney exclusively told E! News at Selena Gomez‘s Fourth Annual Rare Impact Fund Benefit Supporting Youth Mental Health in L.A. Oct. 14. “We were both really tired and we were like, ‘Maybe this is the God and the universe telling us you need to take a break now.'”

“So,” the 32-year-old added, “we were okay with it.”

However, Witney admitted it was emotional seeing the “beautiful” montage Jimmy Kimmel Live! aired of her and Guillermo’s season 35 journey.

“It was very bittersweet,” she continued. “This man brought so much joy to so many people every week. So, he will be very missed. I will miss him a lot, for sure.”

That said, after five weeks of competing pregnant with her third baby, Witney—already mom to two young boys with husband Carson McAllister—is finally ready to hang up her dancing shoes and enjoy some well-deserved rest and relaxation.
