Social media sensation Alix Earle is headed to the ballroom. The 23-year-old TikTok star and Hot Mess podcast host was officially announced as part of Dancing With the Stars Season 34 during Good Morning America. “I’ve always been a fan, I used to watch with my grandma who’d say, ‘Maybe one day you could be on there,’” Earle said, adding that as a former competitive dancer, joining the show was an “easy yes.”

Earle’s casting follows news that Robert Irwin, son of the late Steve Irwin, will also join the new season. With her massive Gen Z following — 7.5 million TikTok fans and more than 1 billion likes — Earle’s presence is expected to boost the show’s ongoing resurgence among younger audiences.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover star first rose to prominence in 2022 for her candid breakup posts and openness about skin struggles. More recently, she’s drawn attention for her relationship with NFL player Braxton Berrios. While Earle has courted controversy in the past, her popularity and crossover appeal make her one of the season’s most talked-about contestants as DWTS looks to keep building momentum with a new generation of viewers.
