'Dancing With the Stars' Season 25 Celebrity Cast
All right, ballroom beauties, it's time to get to know the official cast of "Dancing With the Stars" Season 25. The Fall 2017 season premieres Monday, Sept. 18 on ABC. Here are the lucky 13 celebrities who'll be competing for the coveted Mirror Ball trophy, alongside the popular pro dancers who'll steal the spotlight along the way.
Drew Scott
Drew Scott, 39, of HGTV's "Property Brothers" was the first celeb confirmed for Season 25. He got engaged to his longtime love Linda Phan in December 2016, so fans should expect to see her in the audience, along with Drew's twin brother Jonathan. His pro partner is reigning pro champ Emma Slater.
Nikki Bella
WWE star Nikki Bella, 33, who stars on the E! shows "Total Bellas" and "Total Divas," will also be competing this year. Like Drew, she is also engaged, and also a twin. Her sister Brianna, a fellow WWE and reality star, should be cheering for Nikki from the audience. So should actor/wrestler John Cena, Nikki's fiancé as of this past April. Her pro partner is Artem Chigvintsev.
Frankie Muniz
Frankie Muniz, 31, is still best known for playing the title character of Fox's "Malcolm in the Middle." Nowadays he's more into racing cars, and making occasional guest appearances as himself, like he just did on "Preacher" Season 2. He has a few more acting roles lined up, though, so fans should expect to see more of him on screen, beyond how far he makes it on DWTS. His pro partner is Witney Carson.
Nick Lachey
Nick Lachey, 43, will be competing against his wife this season. Fun fact: Their pro partners are also married, so it'll be doubly competitive. Nick was a member of 98 Degrees, along with his brother Drew, who actually won DWTS Season 2. So not only will Nick be competing against his wife Vanessa (as opposed to his famous ex-wife Jessica Simpson), he'll be competing against his brother's legacy. His pro partner will be Peta Murgatroyd, who is married to Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
Vanessa Minnillo Lachey
Vanessa Lachey, 36, née Minnillo, rose to fame as Miss Teen USA and then a host of MTV's "Total Request Live" and correspondent for "Entertainment Tonight." Vanessa and fellow DWTS competitor Nick Lachey were married in 2011 and have three children together, including son Phoenix born this past December. Her pro partner is Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who just recently married Nick's partner, Peta.
Jordan Fisher
You might know actor/singer Jordan Fisher, 23, from "Grease: Live," "Liv and Maddie," "The Secret Life of the American Teenager," or the "Teen Beach" movies. The Disney star most recently played John Laurens/Philip Hamilton in the Broadway production of "Hamilton." His pro partner is Lindsay Arnold.
Derek Fisher
NBA star Derek Fisher, 43, is not related to Jordan Fisher, so don't expect the double-Fisher casting to be like the double Lacheys. He's also not the baseball player Derek Fisher. This D-Fish spent most of his basketball career with the Los Angeles Lakers, and was most recently the head coach of the New York Knicks. His pro partner is Sharna Burgess.
Lindsey Stirling
Violinist and YouTube star Lindsey Stirling, 30, was a quarterfinalist on "America's Got Talent" in 2010. She dances while she plays, as part of her performance art, and her YouTube channel has more than 2 billion total views. She recently won the Top Dance/Electronic Album award for "Brave Enough" at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards. Her pro partner is Mark Ballas, who is returning to DWTS after two seasons away.
Victoria Arlen
Former paralympic swimmer Victoria Arlen, 22, is now a sportscaster for ESPN, and she has an amazing story. She developed two rare conditions at age 11 that left her unable to speak, eat, walk or move at all. She spent four years locked in her own body, and recovery looked unlikely. However, after almost four years she fought back, eventually moving well enough to become a Paralympic swimmer, winning four medals for Team USA at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London. In 2016 she learned to walk after spending 10 years paralyzed from the waist down. And now she's dancing. Her pro partner is Valentin Chmerkovskiy.
Barbara Corcoran
Real estate queen Barbara Corcoran, 68, is best known as an investor on ABC's "Shark Tank." That makes her the second "Shark" to dance on DWTS, after Robert Herjavec. Barbara co-founded a real estate business in the 1970s called The Corcoran Group, and sold it in 2001 for $66 million. Now, in addition to "Shark Tank," she's a real estate commentator with a weekly column in the New York Daily News. Her pro partner is Keo Motsepe.
Terrell Owens
Terrell Owens, 43, aka T.O., is a former NFL wide receiver, known for setting football records, and maybe getting involved in some controversies along the way. He's a showman! His pro partner is Cheryl Burke, who is returning after a season away in what will mark her 20th season on the show.
Sasha Pieterse
Actress/singer Sasha Pieterse, 21, is best known to "Pretty Little Liars" fans as Alison DiLaurentis, making her the latest PLL star to cross over to DWTS, following Janel Parrish and Brant Daugherty. Like a few other celebs this season, Sasha is also engaged; in December 2015 she said yes to her longtime boyfriend Hudson Sheaffer. Her pro partner is Gleb Savchenko.
Debbie Gibson
Debbie Gibson is now 47, but she will always be the teen queen of the 1980s. The record-setting singer-songwriter went on to star in Broadway musicals, and she's made several TV and film appearances. She's also no stranger to reality TV, competing on "The Celebrity Apprentice" and "Skating with Celebrities" and judging "American Juniors." Her pro partner is Alan Bersten, in his first year as a competing pro as opposed to just a troupe member. The Fall 2017 season premieres Monday, Sept. 18 on ABC.
