From the Mansion to the Dance Floor! See Which Bachelor Nation Stars Have Been on ‘DWTS’

Joey Graziadei

Bachelor Nation had a feeling that the season 28 Bachelor joined the season 33 DWTS cast because he was in Los Angeles with fiancée Kelsey Anderson for an extended amount of time. On September 4, 2024, Joey shared his excitement going into the season hours after the big announcement was revealed.

“27. Learn how to Dance. This one is going to be a work in progress, but I am SO excited to be on S33 of @dancingwiththestars,” he wrote via Instagram. “I couldn’t be luckier to have @jennajohnson as my partner! Tune in on September 17th at 8/7c to see me hit the dance floor. Peep the 3rd slide to see my sister trying to get me ready for the ballroom at a young age. Please let me know your thoughts in the comments below.”

Joey and pro partner Jenna Johnson slayed the competition, as the duo went on to win the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy on November 26, 2024. With that, the Pennsylvania native became the first Bachelor leading man to win DWTS. 

Jenn Tran

Jenn decided to join the season 33 cast last-minute… like 45 minutes before her flight departed.

One night before she became the newest addition to the cast, America watched her in shambles as she reunited with ex-fiancé Devin Strader, who broke up with her over text, during the Bachelorette finale.

“When one door closes … the next door suddenly has dancing shoes behind them. So incredibly excited and grateful for this opportunity to do something I’ve always dreamed of doing!!!” Jenn captioned her September 4, 2024, Instagram post.

Jenn and pro partner Sasha Farber were eliminated on October 29, 2024, following the Halloween-themed episode. The pair teased a romance following their exit from DWTS.

Charity Lawson

After Charity’s season 20 The Bachelorette finale aired on August 21, 2023, her fiancé, Dotun Olubeko, announced during After the Final Rose that she would be hitting the dance floor on DWTS. “So, I know you like to cut up, you like to dance and you like to get down. And you know that we’ve talked about this about how amazing this opportunity would be, and I am so happy to be the one to tell you that you’re going to be on Dancing with the Stars,” the integrative medicine specialist told his future bride about her casting in the upcoming season 32 of the show.
