Family Ties on the Dance Floor
The dance floor of “Dancing With the Stars” has seen its fair share of family connections. Meet Rylee Arnold, the latest addition to the family tree of dance pros on the show. But she’s not the first, nor the only one. Let’s take a peek at some family rivalries and bonds that have graced the famous ballroom.
Sibling Showdowns
Julianne Hough kicked off the family face-offs when she joined the show in season 4 back in 2007. Not long after, her brother, Derek Hough, decided to waltz onto the stage in the following season. Talk about a sibling rivalry in the limelight!
The Chmerkovskiy brothers, Maksim and Val, also brought their sibling connection to the show. Maksim first strutted his stuff in season 2, and Val followed suit in season 13. It’s like a dance-off runs in their blood!
Father vs. Son
But it’s not just siblings shaking things up. “DWTS” decided to throw a curveball by pitting Mark Ballas’ dad, Corky Ballas, against his own son in season 7. Family dinners must have been interesting that season.
Love on the Dance Floor
Beyond family ties, love has blossomed on the dance floor for some of the pros. Some even found their life partners while competing on the show. Who said you can’t find love while doing the cha-cha?
So, whether it’s sibling showdowns or romance under the glittering lights, “Dancing With the Stars” keeps us entertained both on and off the dance floor. Keep reading to see which “DWTS” pros have brought their family members along for the ride!
