Dancing with the Stars (DWTS) Season 34 is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about editions yet. With new celebrity-pro pairings revealed, emotional family reflections, a beloved judge’s career shift, and some bittersweet goodbyes, the competition is already sparking headlines before the first dance.
New Pairings and Early Clues
Fans recently got their first look at this season’s pairings thanks to behind-the-scenes photos and rehearsal snapshots. Outlets noted subtle clues in the images, giving audiences plenty to speculate on before the premiere (The Sun). With the excitement building, it seems the show is determined to keep the guessing game alive while teasing big names on the dance floor.
Robert Irwin Follows in Bindi’s Footsteps
One of the most anticipated contestants is wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin. He’s already hit the rehearsal studio and revealed that his sister, Season 21 champion Bindi Irwin, has been sharing advice on how to survive the grueling weeks of competition. “Bindi’s biggest advice was to just enjoy every second,” Robert shared about the family guidance he’s been receiving (Talent Recap).
Bruno Tonioli’s Focus Shifts
Longtime judge Bruno Tonioli is also making headlines, not for DWTS directly, but for his next move. Tonioli recently confirmed he will not be returning to Britain’s Got Talent after a short stint, choosing instead to focus on other projects (Parade). While he remains a key presence on DWTS, fans are eager to see how his reduced commitments elsewhere might impact his energy on the ABC stage.
Health Concerns for a DWTS Champion
The DWTS family has also been rallying behind one of its champions. Reports shared that “prayers are pouring in” for a past winner facing health concerns, reminding fans how tight-knit the show’s community remains off the ballroom floor (Yahoo Entertainment).
Lindsay Arnold Steps Away
In a significant change, professional dancer Lindsay Arnold revealed she will not be returning for Season 34. Arnold explained her decision is rooted in prioritizing her family, though she remains grateful for her time on the show (Parade). Her absence will be felt, as she has been a fan favorite for years.
The Hough Legacy
Derek and Julianne Hough recently reflected on how growing up with the series shaped their careers. The siblings spoke candidly about the impact DWTS has had on their family, highlighting how the ballroom became a second home and influenced their artistry (Rockdale Newton Citizen).
With fresh faces like Robert Irwin, heartfelt family stories, and some notable goodbyes, Dancing with the Stars Season 34 promises to deliver both drama and inspiration. Whether fans tune in for the glittering routines or the behind-the-scenes journeys, DWTS continues to prove why it’s a staple of reality TV competition.
