Charity Lawson Thanks Fiancé Dotun Olubeko for Being the ‘Best Support System’ During ‘DWTS’
End of a chapter.
Former Bachelorette Charity Lawson just finished competing on Season 32 of “Dancing with the Stars,” paired up with professional dancer Artem Chigvintsev.
The two killed it, receiving some of the highest scores in the ballroom week after week and making it all the way to the finale.
While Charity didn’t end up taking home the Mirrorball Trophy, she is still so grateful for the experience.
The Bachelor Nation star took to Instagram to reflect back on the journey and thank her fiancé Dotun Olubeko for being by her side every week — he didn’t miss a single show!
Alongside photos from her time on the show, Charity wrote, “What an experience like no other — possibly the hardest thing I have ever done and I thank myself for going on this adventure everyday. I discovered so much about myself. I rose to the occasion week after week, despite the adversity I faced. Hard work gets you far and I will never be apologetic for that and the confidence that grew within me to get me here.”
She continued on, saying, “I got to experience finals with the best teacher and dancer @theartemc who has truly pushed me from day one to reach my potential because HE saw the best in me. Dancing in the finals was a dream come true — a freestyle where my worlds collide, cheer x ballroom, and a fire tango. I had the time of my life with the help of my collect crew and I’m just so proud!!”
Charity shared how special her fellow cast members are to her, sharing, “I made an entire new family that I love so much,” including winners Xóchitl and Val, who she says are “the most deserving!!!”
The former Bachelorette also showed some love to her fans, family, friends, and fiancé Dotun for being by her side.
She said, “My entire family, fiancé @dotunolubeko, and my friends have been the best support system this season. To the sincere fans who have stood beside me with love and care, and fought for me every single week. Thank you. Thank you for allowing me to represent for so many, and continuing to make history. All I can say is thank you. I will never be done dancing and growing.”
Charity ended her post asking fans to come see her on the “Dancing with the Stars” Tour that she just announced she’s going to be a part of.
We couldn’t be prouder of Charity and know that her star is only going to keep rising from here.
Congrats on such an incredible season!
