Last year, Ballas made his comeback to the DWTS ballroom for the first time since Season 25, dancing with TikTok star Charli D’Amelio. The pair took home the Mirrorball trophy for Season 31 and later performed on the show’s live tour.
However, Ballas announced in March that he would not be returning to the ballroom for Season 32. He shared, “I’m not saying it’s the end. This is just the last time I will be dancing with a partner. And I wanted to finish this with Charli, and I appreciate you guys so much.”
The dancer later explained that he was leaving the show to “pursue new challenges and opportunities.”
