We’re going to be chatting about the Dancing with the Stars Season 32 cast. All the cast has been revealed, as well as everybody’s partners. So we have 14 celebrities, 14 pros, and a lot to break down, so let’s get right into it.
This year is going to be a little different in regards to the hosts, as Tyra Banks has said farewell to the franchise. I don’t know if she quit or if she was fired. Either way, I think everyone is in agreement that we are so excited that Julianne Hough will be replacing Tyra and that she is back to Co-host this season with Alfonso.
Dancing With The Stars Season 32 Cast
So I think it’s Alfanso’s second Co-hosting the show, and last year was his first, and Tyra did it for a few years. But Julianne is back, so fans are really excited as she previously won the dancing competition years ago, and she also has been a judge.
Jamie Lynn Spears
This is going to be season 32, and our first The Dancing With The Stars Season 32 Contestant is Jamie Lynn Spears. You guys know her for being Britney Spears’s little sister. She also was the hit star of a Nickelodeon show called Zoey 101, which I grew up watching and loving.
Jamie is partners with Alan Bernstein, who previously won season 28 of Dancing with the Stars with Hannah Brown. Jamie has been acting her whole life. She is now a mom, and she most recently starred in a new movie, Zoey 102, which was a remake of Zoey 101. She also was in Special Forces last year on Fox.
Now Jamie has a lot of haters because of the drama and tension she has with her sister, Britney Spears, who is an icon. A lot of people hate Jamie because they love Brittany and because of their sister’s fallout. And a lot of people think that she was capitalizing off of Britney’s trauma and that she wrote a book and did a lot of things for public attention.
I don’t really think that Jamie is gonna do too well in the competition just because I don’t know how many fans she has. It’s not that I don’t think she has fans because, obviously, she is really popular. It just seems like a lot of comments under every Jamie post have something to do with bashing her and saying, “Go, Brittany, Support Brittany.”
So I, you know, I’m not gonna judge Jamie for her fallout with Brittany. I don’t actively dislike her, so I just know that I grew up watching her on Zoey 101, and then she had to leave that show because she got pregnant at 16.
We’ll see how Jamie does on the show because it is a show about Voting from the fans. But it also does come down to the dances, how the judges critique you, and how you present yourself on stage. There’s a lot that goes into it, so we’ll see what happens with Jamie.
Ariana Madix
Our next contestant is Ariana Madix, who is dancing with Pasha Pashkov. This is a super fierce couple. We know Ariana from Vanderpump Rules. She recently went through a massive breakup on Vanderpump Rules with her partner, Tom Sandoval. They were together for almost a decade, and Tom cheated on Ariana with one of their mutual friends, Raquel, who now goes by Rachel. I’m sure everyone knows about the scandal.
Well, Ariana has been on the up since she got cheated on. She’s had lots of opportunities, lots of brand deals, and lots of fans rallying behind her, wanting to support her in any way that they could. I am totally gonna be supporting Ariana this season, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what she brings to the dance floor. I think she and Pasha are a hot couple. They’re definitely one to beat.
Charity Lawson
Next up, we have Charity Lawson and her partner, Artem. Now, Charity was our former Bachelorette. She was The Bachelorette last season. She got engaged to Dotun, and they are still engaged. A lot of former bachelor alums have said in the past that it’s not good for your relationship to do Dancing With the Stars after going on the Bachelor or Bachelorette.
This will test Charity’s relationship with Dontun. However, if they are solid, I think that they will be able to make it through. They seem solid; they seem like they have a good foundation. I’m sure Dotun and I will be at many of Charity’s performances supporting her.
Another Bachelorette that we’ve had was Hannah Brown, we’ve had Caitlin Bristow, and we’ve had Gabby. Bachelorettes do really well on Dancing with the Stars. So I think Charity is gonna absolutely slay. I think she has a lot of fans who support her.
I don’t know if she is as popular of a Bachelorette as some of the previous ones, so that could go into the voting. We know Gabby had a lot of fans, and so did Hannah and Caitlin. But I think that we’ll see what happens when the season goes along. And I will definitely be rooting for Charity.
Tyson Beckford
Our next The Dancing With The Stars Season 32 Cast member is Tyson Beckford and Jenna Johnson. Now, Jenna is back, and she did not dance last year because she did have a baby with Val, who is another dancer on the show.
Jenna took a season off, so I am surprised that she got right back into it. But I think she loves the show so much, and it’s a good paycheck. She took the year off, so I think she’s ready to get back in there.
Now, Tyson is a model. He’s also known for playing himself in Zoolander and Primo in Into The Blue. So, I’m not too familiar with Tyson. And on a side note, I’m not too familiar with a lot of these contestants. I think a lot of fans like me, who love reality TV, know all about reality stars, and we’ll break them down as we get into it.
We already talked about Charity and Ariana. But a lot of these other actors and celebrities and models and dancers and stuff, I’m not too familiar with at all. So, it is a little bit of an odd cast.
Alyson Hannigan
Next up, we have Allison Hannigan and Sasha Farber. Now I know Sasha, and he has been on the show for many years. But Alyson is a seasoned actor. She’s also been in Buffy the Vampire, and she also played a character named Lily. And How I Met Your Mother. So she’s a really popular actress, she’s in lots of fun shows, so I’m sure some of you know of her. I, too know of her too well.
Matt Walsh
Next up, we have Matt Walsh and Koko. Koko is back for another season of dancing. She previously danced with Vinny Guadagnino last season. I mean, last season’s gonna be hard to beat. The last season had such a stacked cast. It was so good up until the end. It was so invested, and I’m sure so many of you guys were.
So this cast, I can’t say it’s giving compared to last year. But we gotta give it a chance because I don’t know who Matt is, but I’ll tell you right now: he is an actor and writer. He’s known for playing Doctor Val in the 2009 The Hangover movie, and I did watch the Hangover. He played Mike in Veep and then Thomas in the Ted movie. So he has quite the resume.
Mauricio Umansky
Next up, we have Mauricio Umansky and Emma Slater. So I feel like Emma has become the queen of the dancers of the pros. She runs the Dancing with the Stars Live Tour. She has just gotten so popular and really has become one of the faces of the dancers.
But Mauricio is her partner, and I think this might be my favorite partnership out of all of them. I’m really excited about Emma and Mauricio. I think that there is such a hot couple.
Well, Mauricio is the founder and CEO of a billion-dollar brokerage agency that uses world-class tech and creative marketing techniques to help clients and agents meet their real estate goals.
Now, Mauricio also has a spin-off show, or it’s not a spin-off show. He has his own show based on the agency called Buying Beverly Hills. They had season one on Netflix last year. They already filmed for season 2, so it will be coming back, so I can’t wait to see it. Buying Beverly Hills follows his agency and his daughters, who are also agents at the real estate brokerage.
This show just kind of teaches younger real estate the ropes while also showing more experienced real estate, more seasoned real estate selling $1,000,000 homes. He also is the husband of Kyle Richards from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Mauricio and Kyle have had a very difficult year. They posted on Instagram in a joint mutual statement a couple of months ago after there were rumors they were separated, that they are not getting divorced, and that they are working on their marriage.
However, Kyle is still, you know, hanging out with Morgan Wade, the country singer. They were just spotted in Paris. It looks like they’re doing some docu-series for Morgan.
But I personally think that there is something more going on with Morgan and Kyle. I saw the music video. Yes, they could be playing into the rumors for the public press to sell their shows, their businesses, and Morgan’s music. But I still think something’s going on.
I think that Kyle and Mauricio are separated, and I think that they’re still friends. Kyle did post to congratulate him on her Instagram Story that she is rooting for him this season. I think that they’re still working on their marriage, so who knows what’s gonna happen? We’ll find out all those details on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
But this is putting Mauricio in a pretty difficult situation because he’s gonna be doing interviews and press each week, and people are gonna be asking him about Kyle. And if he wants to keep his relationship private, then this isn’t the place to do it. But it also is a place for him to have his own voice.
You know, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is about Kyle and the housewives. The househusbands rarely don’t tell their side of the story. So I think when we see a lot of the drama play out in the next season between Kyle and Mauricio.
This is Mauricio’s chance to represent himself, to show that he is who he is outside of Kyle. So I think this is good for him. And I think there’s gonna be a lot of eyes on Mauricio throughout the season. I think he’s gonna do OK, and I don’t think he’ll win, though.
Xochitl Gomez
Next, The Dancing With The Stars Season 32 Cast member is Xochitl Gomez. Now, Xochitl is partnered with Val, who is one of the favorites. Everyone loves Val, and he’s the hottest dancer now.
Xochitl is an actor who is most known for playing America Chavez in the MCU film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. And then she played Young Ana in Gentefied.
I saw Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness, but I don’t know her that much. But I think she’s beautiful, and I’m excited to get to know her and more about her this season.
Mira Sorvino
Next up we have Mira Sorvino, she is dancing with Gleb, who I love so much. He is one of the dancers, one of the hottest ones. He danced with Shangela last year, and I loved it when he dressed up as Natasha in Drag.
Now, Mira is known for playing Romy in Romy and Michelle’s High School reunion. Then, in 1996, she also won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for playing the role of Linda Ash in Mighty Aphrodite. So, I don’t know too much about her, but I am looking forward to getting to know more about her in the upcoming season.
Harry Jowsey
Next up, we have Harry Jowsey and Rylee Arnold. Now, this is interesting for a lot of reasons. First, we’ll start off with Rylee, and this is her first time being a pro dancer on the show. She is the youngest pro dancer as she is only 18 years old. She is Lindsay Arnold’s little sister.
So Rylee has been one of the teen dancers on the show for a while. This has been her dream to be a pro on the show, and she’s finally old enough. Lindsay just had a baby, and she has three kids now, so I think she wanted to stay home in Utah. I wouldn’t be surprised if Lindsay returned to the ballroom in a couple of years. But right now, Rylee is taking over and representing the Arnolds.
Now she’s dancing with Harry, and this came out of the left field. I did not expect Harry to be on this show. We know him from Netflix’s show Too Hot to Handle. He has also been in a lot of Netflix-like promotional campaigns, so he stayed very relevant. There are rumors he might be going on Perfect Match.
Perfect Match Season 2 is a Netflix spin-off show where they have a bunch of Netflix reality stars come together to date. Harry definitely filmed that show recently. They just wrapped, and it won’t air till next year. So, somehow, he’s able to just do all the reality shows. I’m excited to see Harry, and he’s gonna be really fun to watch.
Harry did just recently have a big scandal with Georgia. They were dating for a while, and they had some back-and-forth on podcasts. But I think that their sides of the story were told and that it’s time to move on. So we’ll see what Harry has to bring. I think that he will do very, very well.
Barry Williams
Next up on the cast of The Dancing With The Stars Season 32, we have Barry Williams and Peta. Peta also just had a baby, so she took a year off, but she is back. I think she was on it last season but got eliminated early, and then she took the year off the season before.
But Barry Williams is an actor. He’s known for playing the role of Greg Brady on The Brady Bunch and then playing the role of King Victor in Mission Impossible. So, I’m not too familiar with the Brady Bunch. I know, obviously I know about it, but I can’t say I’ve ever really seen it.
Lele Pons
Next up, we have Lele Pons and Brandon Armstrong. Lele is a YouTuber, and she is quite famous on Instagram, with over 53 M followers. She’s also a singer and actor, and she played the Hustler in the TV series Escape the Night.
53 M followers is a lot of followers. Charlie Demilio had millions of followers on TikTok, and look what happened: she won last season. I think Lele could win, and I think she has a chance.
Jason Marz
Next up, we have Jason Mraz and Daniella. I love Daniella, she’s a fabulous dancer. But I don’t know too much about Jason. He has won the Grammy award two times. Some of his great songs include “Lucky,” “I’m Yours,” and “I Won’t Give Up”. We’ll see what he has to bring to the stage.
Adrian Peterson
Next up, we have Adrian Peterson and Britt Stewart. Britt danced with Daniel Durant last season, and they became a couple from dancing together on the show. So, I’m excited to potentially see Daniel in the audience now.
Adrian is a football running back who previously played for the Minnesota Vikings team. He became the team’s all-time leading rusher while he was on the team. Daniel also previously played for the Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks.
How To Watch The Dancing With The Stars Season 32?
Well, there’s our The Dancing With The Stars Season 32 Cast with 14 celebrities. Season 32 of Dancing with the Stars premiered on Tuesday, September 26, on ABC at 8:00 PM. It will also stream on Disney Plus and then air the next day on Hulu.
So Dancing With The Stars will be on Tuesdays this fall, and then Bachelor Nation will be on Thursdays. And then I guess there will be sports and other shows on Mondays and Wednesdays. It’s a different schedule, and we’re not used to it. I’m excited to be following along this season.
I have to say, overall, the cast is a little meh. I’m excited about all the reality stars: Charity, Ariana, Mauricio and Harry. But other than that, I can’t say I’m too excited about a lot of the other celebrities. But I am excited about all the dancers. I’ve been watching the show, and I think this will be my third or fourth season. And I love getting to know the dancers more and more each year.
So I’m probably more excited for the dancers than I am about the talent, besides the four reality stars who I mentioned that I am so excited to see.
