Meet the Real-Life Loves of the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season 34 Cast Members
The Dancing with the Stars season 34 cast members have already been showing off their chemistry with their pro partners, but their romantic relationships off the ballroom floor are just as exciting.
The new season — which premiered on Sept. 16 — features stars like Jordan Chiles, Robert Irwin and Elaine Hendrix competing for the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
Several celebrity competitors’ partners have shared their excitement for the upcoming season, including Jen Affleck’s husband Zac Affleck. After one social media user asked how it felt to watch Jen’s rehearsals with partner Jan Ravnik, Zac replied in a comment that it was “for sure challenging but this is Jen’s dream.”
“I have never seen her happier doing something,” he continued. “And @janravnik is the best guy there is and so respectful. So embracing the journey as a team! And they are already so good! 🙌🔥.”
Scott Hoying’s husband, Mark Manio, even appeared in the Pentatonix singer’s partner reveal video, dancing to a BLACKPINK song alongside pro Rylee Arnold.
