    “Dancing with the Stars” will be returning for a 30th season. On Tuesday, March 30, ABC officially announced that the long-running dancing competition show had been renewed for another season.

    In the upcoming season, Tyra Banks is set to reprise her role as host, replacing longtime host Tom Bergeron and co-host Erin Andrews for the second time. Season 30 will also see Len Goodman returning as a full-time judge after he missed some episodes of season 29 due to COVID-19 travel ban.

    Ahead of season 29, the show received backlash for firing Tom and Erin, tapping Tyra to replace the beloved co-hosts. As for Tyra, the “America’s Next Top Model” alum previously admitted that taking over the role was challenging for her.

    “I think the challenge is stepping into shoes. I mean, you know, Tom Bergeron and Erin. They lead the show, this is one of the top-rated shows in the world,” the 47-year-old shared to Us Weekly. “So [I’m] respecting the stage that they have set and then adding my icing to that. I feel confident about that, but of course, it’s a challenge, but I don’t back away from challenges.”

    Her first season as the host wasn’t sailing smooth as she made some mistakes during some live episodes. She was criticized when she mistakenly mixed up the bottom two couples in danger of elimination. The model named Anne Heche & Keo Motsepe and Vernon Davis & Peta Murgatroid as the bottom two couples before she clarified that it was actually Monica Aldama and Val Chmerkovskiy who were supposed to be on the bottom two alongside Anne and Keo.

    “Wowzers. Live TV. Wrong name on cards. So challenging to deal with moments like these. But we power through,” Tyra addressed the mishap on Twitter.

    Vivica A. Fox and Lance Bass Blame Unlikeable Pro Dance Partners for Their 'DWTS' Eliminations

    WENN

    The ‘Empire’ alum and the NSYNC member claim the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ judges gave them low scores because they couldn’t stand their respective dance partners.

    Mar 20, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Actress Vivica A. Fox insists she was kicked off U.S. TV talent contest “Dancing With the Stars” because the judges couldn’t stand her professional dance partner.

    The “Empire” star teamed up with Nick Kosovich on the show in 2006 and she’s still sore she only made it to the fourth week of the season, claiming low scores from the judges had nothing to do with her performance.

    Talking candidly on cable TV show “Overserved” with Lisa Vanderpump, the “Kill Bill” star said, “I made it to week four and I was a sore loser,” before adding, “Nick was one of the main reasons we got kicked off… You’ve got to play the game. My partner made too many requests.”

    Vivica, a former dancer on iconic American TV show “Soul Train”, insists she trained “six hours a day” and should have progressed further in the competition.

    And she’s not the only former contestant making the shocking claims – former NSYNC star Lance Bass, who guested alongside Vivica on Vanderpump’s programme, insisted he too was punished for having an unpopular partner.

    “We were in the same boat,” he added. “My partner was new. She was the bad girl of ballroom and the judges just hated her. And we felt it.”

    Lance and his ballroom dancing pro, Lacey Schwimmer, made it to the show’s seventh season finale in 2008 before they were sent home, and he reveals one of the show’s then judges made a tipsy confession.

    “We make it to (the show’s) finale,” Lance recalls, “and then we go have drinks at one of the judge’s houses and they had a little too much to drink, and one of those judges was like, ‘You know we can’t stand your partner.’ I’m like, ‘Well then, why am I working my a** off this week?’ ”

    “Dancing with the Stars” bosses have yet to comment on the claims.

    10 Couples Who Found Love on 'Dancing with the Stars'

    Considering the intense rehearsal and steamy routines, romance unsurprisingly blooms on the dance floor not only between the celebrity contestants and their pro partners, but also among the pros.

    Nov 29, 2020
    AceShowbiz – “Dancing with the Stars” doesn’t only birth celebrity dancers. It’s not completely rare for the show to bring on-screen romance or off-screen split for the celebrity contestants as well as its professional dancers.
    Considering their intense rehearsal and steamy routines, romance unsurprisingly blooms on the dance floor not only between the celebrity stars and their pro partners, but also among the pros. Some of them found love in each other after spending multiple hours together hitting the road together on the “Dancing With the Stars” tour.
    Here are some couples who found love on the ballroom of the long-running TV show.

    1. Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev
    Instagram

    Nikki Bella developed a friendship with Artem Chigvintsev during her appearance in season 25 of “DWTS”. Their friendship didn’t turn romance until 2 years later after her split from longtime boyfriend John Cena. The former WWE star confirmed their relationship in 2019.
    “He lets me be me,” she gushed over the pro dancer in October 2019. “The attention of what he gives me with my soul, with my personal life, my business life. Like, I have never met anyone who’s so supportive and I have no fear that he’s ever going to leave me for my imperfections, which is so amazing.” The two engaged in January of this year and welcomed their first son, Matteo, in August.

    2. Cheryl Burke and Matthew Lawrence

    Cheryl Burke and Matthew Lawrence met for the first time in 2006 when Matthew was a contestant in the third season of “Dancing With the Stars”. However, it wasn’t until the show’s tour in the following year that the two started dating each other.
    Their relationship wasn’t all smooth because they broke up in 2008. It took almost a decade for them to realize that they’re meant to be as Cheryl reached out to her ex in Christmas 2016. They quickly rekindled their romance with Matthew proposing to her in May 2018. They tied the knot a year later.

    3. Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec
    Instagram

    Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec are one of the long-lasting “DWTS” couples. The former pro dancer on the ABC series was partnered with the businessman back in 2015. Throughout the stint, romance was blooming between the pair, who later announced their engagement in February 2016.
    They didn’t wait too long to exchange vows in a July 2016 wedding. Expanding their little family, Kym and the “Shark Tank” star are now proud parents to their twins, Hudson and Haven, whom they welcomed in April 2018.

    4. Julianne Hough and Helio Castroneves

    Julianne Hough and Helio Castroneves sparked a romance speculation after the pro dancer and the Brazilian auto racing driver shared a kiss during their Quickstep performance in season 5, which saw him as the winner. Further fueling rumors of their alleged romance, Helio confirmed his split from his longrime fiance, Aliette Vazquez, not long after his stint on the show.
    Julianne and Helio were also spotted having a dinner at NYC’s hot spot Tao where the rumored lovebirds were seen “canoodling at a side table” and looked “seriously smitten.” However, the dancer insisted in an interview with PEOPLE that their relationship was purely platonic, saying, “I love Helio like he is my brother. We are the best of friends.”

    5. Emma Slater and Sasha Farber
    Instagram

    Emma Slater and Sasha Farber were dating for years before they met as competitors in season 17 of “Dancing with the Stars”, in which Emma was partnered with Bill Engvall and Sasha was partnered with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, back in 2013. However, they split in 2014, only to rekindle in 2015.
    The pair continued going strong ever since with Sasha getting down on one knee to pop the question to his lady in a TV proposal in October 2016. The couple walked down the aisle at Bella Blanca in Los Angeles in March 2018.

    6. Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd
    Instagram

    Despite his nickname as the “bad boy of the ballroom”, Maksim Chmerkovskiy easily found love in fellow “Dancing with the Stars” pro dancer Peta Murgatroyd. The two had years of an on-and-off relationship before the brother of Valentin Chmerkovskiy proposed to Peta in December 2015.
    The lovebirds announced that they’re expecting their first child together in 2016 with a picture of Maks kissing Peta’s baby bump. “We couldn’t be happier. Baby Chmerkovskiy is coming,” she captioned it at the time. Their son Shai Aleksander was born in January 2017 and the pair tied the knot seven months later.

    7. Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough

    Derek Hough was romantically linked with a number of celebrity contestants he’s partnered with on “Dancing with the Stars”. Among them was environmentalist and vegan Shannon Elizabeth. The couple dated for more than a year after they appeared as a pair in the sixth season of “Dancing With the Stars” in 2008.
    Their romance didn’t last long because the twosome announced their split in 2009 on Twitter. “Hi everyone, we wanted you all to know directly from us, that Shannon & I have decided to end our relationship as boyfriend & girlfriend…,” Derek wrote at the time, while Elizabeth added, “However, we love and care about each other very much and will remain friends and in each others lives. Thank you everyone for all your sweet words & encouragement–it really means a lot to me!”

    8. Alan Bersten and model Alexis Ren
    ABC

    Alan Bersten and Alexis Ren made headlines with their possible romance after they shared a kiss in an episode of season 27 back in 2018. The pair appeared to try to work their romance out off-screen, but they seemingly failed to do so. As soon as the season wrapped up, fans saw their alleged budding romance dissolving rather quickly.
    “We’re focused on our careers and growing as individuals. He’s an amazing person and I’m grateful he came into my life. He is on his own journey and I respect that,” the social media influencer responded to a fan on Instagram. Even worse, Alan hinted that the intimacy between him and Alexis was nothing but staged.

    9. Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson
    Instagram

    Valentin Chmerkovskiy and fellow “DWTS” pro Jenna Johnson crossed path for the first time in 2014 when the “So You Think You Can Dance” alum joined the troupe member of the ABC dance competition show. Val and Jenna started off as a friend before their relationship took a romantic turn in 2015.
    They split briefly in 2016 with Val dating season 23 contestant Amber Rose later on. However, it didn’t last long because Jenna and Val found their way back to each other as they got engaged in 2018. “I knew Jenna was the one when I saw how close she is with her family and how she interacts with her nieces and nephews,” Val gushed in 2018. “Family is everything to me and I can’t wait for us to build one together.” The couple tied the knot in April 2019.

    10. Chrishell Stause and Gleb Savchenko
    Instagram

    Chrishell Stause and Gleb Savchenko sparked romance rumors after appearing as a pair in season 29 of “Dancing with the Stars” after he gave her flowers in order to make her stop being upset after an off-screen fight. Apparently further fueling the speculations, amid the rumors, Gleb announced his split from his wife of 14 years Elena Samodanov, who later shaded him over his “ongoing infidelity and a recent inappropriate relationship.”
    Despite that, both the “Selling Sunset” and the pro dancer denied having an affair. Calling it “false accusations,” Gleb insisted, “My relationship with Chrishell was and remains strictly platonic. Our friendship during our season on DWTS was not the reason for our split.”

    WENN/Instar/Avalon

    The ‘Hot in Herre’ rapper speaks in favor of the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ judge after she received backlash for her harsh criticism of Kaitlyn Bristowe and her partner Artem Chigvintsev.

    Nov 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Nelly has come to Carrie Ann Inaba’s defense amid bullying claims. The “Hot in Herre” rapper stood up for “Dancing with the Stars” judge after she landed in hot water because of the harsh criticism she directed at Kaitlyn Bristowe and her partner Artem Chigvintsev.
    The 46-year-old expressed his support for the judge when speaking to TooFab during a night out in Los Angeles. “She’s just doing her job. Carrie Ann’s sweet. Yo, she’s so dope. Carrie Ann is an ex Fly Girl. You can never be mad at an ex Fly Girl. You know what I’m saying? Nah, they gotta leave my girl alone,” he weighed in on the controversy.
    “I just want to win at the end of the day so I know it’s a competition, but it’s never nothing personal. She’s so sweet. All of the judges is dope,” the MC continued. “I mean you know it’s a competition, so you upset about what you thinking, but it’s not personal. Carrie Ann is dope. All of them is dope. You know what I mean? Nah it’s cool, she’s sweet.”

    Before Nelly jumped to her defense, Carrie was accused of being too tough on “The Bachelorette” alum Kaitlyn and her dancing partner. Many speculated that her harshness came from the fact that she and Artem dated for almost three years in the past. The 52-year-old and the Russian dancer called it quits in 2009.
    Carrie herself has responded to the backlash. In an interview after the Monday, November 9 episode of the dancing competition show, she told the press, “I think it’s hysterical. You know what I love though? This is what I love about ‘The Bachelor’ fans and ‘Bachelorette’ fans. They can create a story around it!”
    “It’s weird because I totally understood what they were doing,” the TV personality further shared. “They’re like, there’s jealousy there and there’s this and that because that’s what the ‘Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ is all about, right? It’s about creating stories about everybody.”
    Carrie then stressed that she had nothing but love for her ex-boyfriend post-split. “Look, I love Artem, I respect him, I love him and Nikki Bella together. I love that they just had their little baby Matteo. We’ve had Nikki on ‘The Talk’, I’m a huge fan. There’s nothing but love and I thought it was hysterical. So none of it bothers me,” she stressed.
    Emphasizing that she is against “bullying,” the dancer and choreographer further warned, “I will not stand for bullying of me or anyone. I will not. We’ve had enough of it in our country. I’m sick of it. I’m never gonna stand for that, I’m never gonna support it. But I am OK with passion and I am OK with discussion.”

    Later, Johnny Weir and Britt Stewart danced the Foxtrot to “Wonder” by Shawn Mendes.

The judges gave the pair a 27.

    Later, they bid farewell to Jeannie, who decided to leave the show as she had to undergo an emergency surgery for an abscess in her throat. Following it up was AJ McLean, who danced the Rumba alongside his partner Cheryl Burke.
