On Sept. 3 during the live After the Final Rose finale, Tran revealed that she and her winner, Devin Strader, had broken up in the brief two months between when her finale filmed and the live special. Her heartbreak also came after the groundbreaking Bachelorette, who was the first Asian American lead, became the first female lead to ever propose. (Strader said yes, and then offered her his own proposal in the pretaped finale.)
And Tran isn’t the only Bachelor Nation alum hitting the dance floor this season — as the most recent Bachelor star Joey Graziadei, who led season 28, will also be dancing on DWTS season 33.
Dwight Howard, Tori Spelling, Eric Roberts, Super Bowl champion Danny Amendola, actor Chandler Kinney, Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher, model Brooks Nader, Bravo star Phaedra Parks, actor Reginald VelJohnson and Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik round out the cast for the upcoming season of the ABC reality dancing competition.
Also among the familiar names is Anna Delvey (whose real name is Anna Sorokin), the convicted fraudster whose exploits were dramatized for Netflix’s Inventing Anna, which saw Julia Garner playing Delvey in the title role. While under house arrest in 2023, Delvey spoke of her interest in reality TV while shopping an unscripted series where she would host dinner parties at her home.
Delvey, still on house arrest while fighting her deportation case, told The Hollywood Reporter after the cast reveal that she was granted permission from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) to compete, and will be wearing her ankle monitor.
The cast and their pros were revealed on Good Morning America Wednesday morning.
The pairs will be judged by a panel of renowned ballroom experts, including Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough. Co-hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, DWTS returns Tuesday, Sept. 17, on ABC and Disney+ and is available to stream the next day on Hulu.
Dancing With the Stars is produced by BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions.
