But she can’t wait to watch Val compete with Gabby Windey onscreen.

“I’m just the spouse now,” Jenna told Us Weekly this week. “I just get to be supportive.”

“I had to tell [Val] who she was [at first] because obviously I’m a massive Bachelor fan,” she continued. “I think that they are going to be perfect together on the show.”

The 28-year-old dancer has had a chance to see Val and Gabby in action. She’s excited to see what fans will think too.

“I love her personality,” Jenna said about The Bachelorette star. “I love her work ethic and I think their banter is gonna be hysterical ‘cause he’s suave and she just like real so I think it’s gonna be hysterical. I just know from their little progress of rehearsing already before the premiere that they are ready and she’s in it to win it.”

This is Val’s first time working with a Bachelor Nation personality

Many DWTS fans are pleasantly surprised to see Val return to the ballroom this year. He previously said Season 30 was his last after competing with Olivia Jade.

“The excitement that Val has when he comes home after rehearsal has just been so fun to see and so inspiring,” Jenna told Us Weekly. “Like he has somebody that’s capable of going all the way, you know? So I cannot wait. He’s never had anybody from Bachelor Nation and I’m like, ‘Oh, get ready, they are committed and they love their people on the show.’”

Kaitlyn Bristowe and Hannah Brown are former Bachelorettes who also took home the Mirroball Trophies in their seasons. Could Gabby be next?
