The Dancing With the Stars season 35 competition just got a little bit fiercer!
A source exclusively tells Us that Jenna Dewan will be hitting the ballroom, while a separate insider shares that Bachelor Nation fan favorite Tyler Cameron also will be lacing up his dancing shoes for the upcoming season.
Tyler’s casting comes five years after BFF and former Bachelor Matt James tried his hand at the competition with pro Lindsay Arnold on season 30. (The duo danced together for four weeks before they were eliminated.)
Us reached out to ABC for comment.
The full DWTS cast — including pros and celebrities — is set to be revealed on Good Morning America on September 2, though four contestants have already been officially announced.
Love Island’s Maura Higgins, Summer House star Ciara Miller, Savannah Bananas player Jackson Olson and Jimmy Kimmel’s sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez will all be trying to Cha-Cha their way to the top of the leaderboard this season. Guillermo, 55, will be doing so with reigning champion and pro Witney Carson, who announced their partnership on Monday, August 17.
“I think he is so sweet. He’s so fun,” Witney said on GMA at the time. “That’s exactly what I need in this season of life that I’m in, just someone who’s fun, personable.”
Witney, who took home the mirrorball with wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin in season 34, also shared that she will be competing while navigating her third pregnancy. (Witney and her husband, Carson McAllister, are already parents of sons Leo, 5, and Jet, 3.)
“I would be lying if I said it wasn’t very daunting. I’ve never been this far along pregnant and competing on Dancing With the Stars, ever,” Witney said. “I don’t know if it’s ever been done. I’m so proud to be a woman, to be creating life and growing this human, and to be able to do the show and compete … is such a huge blessing.”
One day later, Witney shared a glimpse of her and Guillermo in the rehearsal studio gearing up for the premiere.
“When you and your partner get along instantly >> can’t wait for this season!” Witney captioned Tuesday, August 18, TikTok footage with Guillermo, who mouthed in the clip, “Where have you been?” Witney then lip-synched back the viral TikTok sound, “Nobody knows me like you do.”
Dancing With the Stars season 35 kicks off with a double premiere on ABC and Disney+ Tuesday, September 15, and Wednesday, September 16, at 8 p.m. ET.
