Joey Graziadei & Kaitlyn Bristowe Return to ‘DWTS’ to Perform — Find Out Who They’re Partnered With!
Let’s dance!
Bachelor Nation got to know and love both Joey Graziadei and Kaitlyn Bristowe as the leads on Season 28 of “The Bachelor” and Season 11 of “The Bachelorette,” respectively.
After their seasons, both Bachelor Nation stars went on to compete and win the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy on “Dancing with the Stars.”
And now, the former champions are returning to the “DWTS” stage to perform for the 20th anniversary.
There will be a “Relay Dance round” in which former Mirrorball champions get to pair up and dance with current competitors on the show.
And it was recently announced which dancers will be paired up with Joey and Kaitlyn.
Our former Bachelor will be dusting off his dancing shoes and pairing up with social media content creator, Alix Earle.
Alix is currently competing with her pro dance partner Val Chmerkovskiy, who is the husband of Jenna Johnson – Joey’s former pro dance partner.
What a small world!
Jenna commented on the pairing, “This feels right 😍🔥✨,” and former Bachelorette Hannah Brown also added, “THIS DUO!!!”
Our former Bachelorette will be stepping into the ballroom with season fan-favorite comedian Andy Richter.
Kaitlyn commented on the announcement, “MY FAM” and fellow Bachelor Nation stars filled the comments with their love over the pairing.
Trista Sutter wrote, “Yes!!!!!!!!!!!” and Daisy Kent added, “AWWWW YAY ❤️.”
Zac Clark, who has sparked dating speculation with Kaitlyn, dropped the emoji, “🕺.”
How exciting! We can’t wait to see our Bachelor Nation stars perform — we know they’re going to be amazing.
