Dancing With the Stars‘ Ciara Miller has seen fans hoping she will date Shaboozey — and she has some thoughts.
“Look, the internet is a really crazy place,” Miller, 30, quipped during an exclusive interview with Us after performing with pro Brandon Armstrong during the Tuesday, September 29, live show.
The Summer House star wasn’t too surprised, adding, “I feel like they — the internet — will ship me with anyone with a heartbeat. And … I love Shaboozey, but they’ll literally ship me with anyone. It could be a random man on Sunset [Boulevard].”
While Miller is single, she told Us she has “requirements” for a potential partner — and so does Armstrong, 32.
“I have some requirements for her. [He has] got to be over 6-foot-3,” Armstrong shared. “But their bank account — you better be 6-foot-6 when you stand on that bank account or don’t slide into her DMs. That’s my rules for her.”
Miller, who recently appeared in Shaboozey’s “Cowgirl” music video, wasn’t on the same page.
“Good thing we’re not taking advice from Brandon,” she joked. “We’re only taking advice from him in the dance room.”
Armstrong went on to urge any potential suitors to “be nice” to Miller, saying, “At the bare minimum.”
Summer House fans have followed Miller’s love life throughout her time on the hit Bravo series. She was previously linked to her former costar West Wilson, but their on-off connection ended for good earlier this year after he began dating her BFF Amanda Batula. Miller has since cut ties with Wilson, 31 and Batula, 35, neither of whom will appear on Summer House season 11.
After filming Summer House on the East Coast, Miller is focused on her DWTS journey. During Tuesday’s Yacht Rock Night, she and Armstrong performed a cha-cha to “Never Too Much” by Luther Vandross, earning 18 out of 30 points.
“We’re maintaining. It’s still only week three. I feel like tonight was the first night that I feel like I wasn’t as nervous as week one and week two,” Miller noted. “I’m happy with that progress right there because, you know, my stage fright. It’s a little crazy.”
Miller has been proud of how far she has come already.
“I’m really working on it. It’s a mental game, guys. So I feel like one thing at a time,” she continued. “I feel like as long as we’re continuing to get better and better each week, we can now go perfect another dance and see what next week brings and what the challenges are going to be.”
She concluded: “But I’m really just grateful to be able to keep going and get better and see what each week brings.”
Armstrong, meanwhile, told Us how he is trying to keep Miller’s “expectations realistic.”
“This is a long competition and there’s a lot of contestants that have a lot of dance experience. So I just want her to feel happy and confident with the product that we’re putting out every night,” he shared. “Now here’s the thing: you only get one opportunity to do the dance when it matters. If it’s not top, then you’re gonna feel, like, a certain type of way and you have a certain taste in your mouth.”
He added: “But that is also part of dancing live. Everybody only gets one go at it, so I just think that we should be proud and confident going into it because the biggest battle is actually between your ears. It’s not the physicality of it. That’s my opinion.”
Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
