Get to know the ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Season 34 cast
As of publication, four people have been confirmed as part of the Dancing With The Stars Season 34 cast. They are Robert Irwin, Alix Earle, Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck. Their partners haven’t been announced yet, and neither have the rest of their competitors.
Get to know Robert Irwin
Robert Irwin—son of the late Australian zookeeper and TV personality Steve Irwin—was the first cast member to be announced. He is 21 years old and recently went viral for his sexy Bonds Underwear ad. He is the second Irwin to compete on the show, following in his sister Bindi’s footsteps. She appeared on the show in 2015, was paired with now judge Derek Hough and won the whole thing.
“You have no idea how grateful I am to have Bindi, who went through this experience,” Robert told US Weekly in May. “Not only did she do Dancing With the Stars, I mean, she won Dancing With the Stars and just was such an incredible shining light. I remember watching [her] on that show just thinking, ‘This is the coolest thing ever.’”
Get to know Alix Earle
Aliz Earle is a 24-year-old model, podcast host and social media influencer. She was the second Season 34 cast member to be announced.
“I love a good performance. I’m so intrigued! I’m so excited to see everyone. A lot of people didn’t know that about me. I was dancing competitively until my senior year of high school,” Earle revealed in a November 2024 TikTok video, where she was getting ready to go watch a live taping of a Season 33. “I have been watching it every week religiously. And I heard that going to the show live is really fun.”
Along with her social media following, Earle is also famously dating NFL wide receiver Braxton Berrios. They have been together since 2023 and recently moved in together.
Get to know Whitney Leavitt
Whitney Leavitt is a 32-year-old influencer, MomTok member and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star. She was considered the “villain” in Season 1; However, that isn’t going to keep her from trying to dance her way to victory in Season 34 of Dancing with the Stars.
“I think, just more than anything, it was harder after Season 1 being the villain, because I really wasn’t in a good place with the other women. So, I didn’t really care about what was being said online, and I wasn’t in a good place with my friends,” Leavitt told First for Women of her villain status in May.
Leavitt has been married to her husband Conner since 2016, and they have three children together. She is considered one of the better dancers of MomTok.
Get to know Jen Affleck
Jen Affleck—not to be confused with Ben Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Lopez—is also a MomTok member and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star. She is 25 years old, and her Dancing with the Stars casting announcement—along with Leavitt’s—was announced during the Season 2 reunion special of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which aired on July 1. During it, Jen revealed that being on the show has been a lifelong dream of hers, and she even appeared onstage during one of the Dancing With the Stars tour stops.
Jen is currently married to Zac, and they have three children together—the youngest of whom was born just a few days ago.
