Will Grant Ellis be the next Bachelor alum to win a Mirror Ball Trophy? Now that his season is over, he talked about the possibility of joining Dancing With The Stars. Keep reading for more on the upcoming season of the celebrity dance competition.
Fans Speculate DWTS Season 34 Cast
ABC has yet to confirm if Dancing With The Stars will return for another season. However, a Season 34 is likely, especially with an empty time slot after The Bachelorette was put on pause.
The DWTS cast almost always includes at least one Bachelor Nation alum per season. Last season featured two when Jenn Tran and Joey Graziadei both joined the show. Joey was the clear fan-favorite from the beginning and thanks to the boost from Bachelor viewers, he was crowned the winner.
ABC is not even close to casting Season 34 but that hasn’t stopped fans from speculating. One fan took to social media to drop their wish list for the new season. The list included names such as Kourtney Kardashian, singer Lisa Loeb, and Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos.
In addition to a Bachelor Nation alum, DWTS always has at least one controversial contestant. One fan threw out the name Jake Paul for the possible most-hated Season 34 celebrity. He gained attention in late 2024 for beating Mike Tyson in a surprising upset during their Netflix boxing match.
But before his boxing career, Jake Paul and his brother Logan became famous as a social media influencer on YouTube. The brothers have stirred quite a bit of controversy with their opinions and behavior.
Bachelor Star Grant Ellis Talks Joining Dancing With The Stars
Not everyone is a fan of Bachelor Nation alums competing on DWTS every year. But it seems likely that ABC will cast someone from the dating show on Season 34. Given the controversy surrounding how Grant Ellis’ season of The Bachelor ended, he is a strong choice for Dancing With The Stars.
In an interview with Swoon after the Bachelor season finale, Grant Ellis shared if DWTS was in his future. He repeated what he’s previously said about the possibility: he’s open to it.
“If it’s something that’s offered to me, then it’s something I’ll do,” Grant said. But, “If it’s not, I’m not going to be offended. But I would like to, you know?”
If he does do DWTS, he has his fiance’s full support. He got engaged to Juliana Pasquarosa during the Bachelor season finale. She supports Grant joining the celebrity dance competition but doesn’t see herself on it.
“Yeah [he has the moves]. I do not have the moves, so at least one of us does,” she told the outlet. If Grant is asked to join DWTS, that puts their plans on hold. The couple previously said that they plan to move in together in Boston. However, Grant said he also plans to keep his place in Houston.
Dancing With The Stars airs live from Los Angeles. The distance put a serious strain on Joey Graziadei’s relationship with Kelsey Anderson, even though she stayed in L.A. with him during his time on the show.
