‘Dancing With The Stars’ Season 34 Cast List Revealed
Dancing With The Stars celebrates twenty years on the air in 2025. The first season premiered in June 2005 with just six celebrities. Trista Sutter (The Bachelorette), Evander Holyfield (heavyweight boxer), Rachel Hunter (supermodel), Joey McIntyre (New Kids on the Block singer), John O’Hurley (Seinfeld star), and Kelly Monaco (General Hospital actress) were the first to compete for the coveted Mirrorball Trophy. Kelly Monaco won the first season.
The celebrity cast list has doubled since then. After weeks of speculation, the full celebrity cast list for Season 34 was finally revealed.
Previously Confirmed Celebrities
Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough return to host the dance competition for another season. This year’s judges are Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough.
The first celebrity for Season 34 was announced months ago. Robert Irwin is the son of the famous late conservationist Steve Irwin. Known to TV audiences as “The Crocodile Hunter,” Steve Irwin died in 2006 after a stingray injury. His two kids, Bindi and Robert Irwin, have carried on his legacy as conservationists and television personalities. Bindi competed on Season 21 Dancing With The Stars and won. She might have tips for her brother, but he has some fierce competition.
Social media influencer Alix Earle was the second contestant confirmed. Whitney Leavitt and Jennifer Affleck from the reality TV show The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives were the last two Season 34 cast members announced ahead of the full cast reveal.
Days before the official reveal, a rumored list was going around the internet. How true was the list?
