“From Prison to the Ballroom?” — Julie Chrisley Rumored to Be Joining Dancing With the Stars

Dancing with the Stars is set to return with a new season. Since then, fans have already been talking about who will be hitting the stage this season. There is speculation that one reality show star, Julie Chrisley of Chrisley Knows Best fame, could be joining the show, and fans have a very special reason why they think that.

Fans Are Getting Ready For Season 34 Of Dancing With The Stars

Dancing with the Stars is set to return to ABC with Season 34 on September 16, 2025. Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough are on hosting duties, while Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli will serve as judges.

With the series’ return, fans are already wondering who will be competing. Recently, fans have been sharing a special reason why they think Julie Chrisley of Chrisley Knows Best fame could be a good fit.

Ezra Sosa is one of the show’s dancers, having joined the show with Season 30. Early on, he didn’t have a partner and functioned as part of the troupe throughout the seasons.

Sosa’s big break came with Season 33, in which he was paired with convicted con artist Anna Delvey. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Sosa shared that, since then, fans have been sending him messages about which “new convicted hot felon” should be his dance partner next.

As previously reported, Julie and her husband, Todd, were convicted on a variety of charges, including bank fraud and tax evasion, back in 2022. Initially, the two faced a combined prison sentence of 19 years. However, the two received a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump back in May.

One DWTS Alum Especially Thought Julie Chrisley Would Be A Good Idea

Sosa shared, “It was Julie Chrisley and then Karen Read. Then it was Luigi Mangione.” However, he admitted there was someone in particular that was especially rooting for him to dance with Chrisley.

According to the dancer, “Anna is rooting for me to have Julie Chrisley next season. She was rooting for me when that whole pardon was happening. She sent me a text [that read], ‘I hope you have Julie Chrisley next season.’”

Sosa wasn’t ruling out the idea ahead of Season 34. He shared, “I said, ‘I fear we’ll make it further than you and I did.’ I fear we could. Julie or her husband [Todd Chrisley]. Either one, we’ll make it work. [I’ll be back next season] and we’ll probably — hopefully — make it past one week. That’s the goal.”

So far, a few stars have already been announced for the upcoming season. These include social media personality Alix Earlie, Robert Irwin, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives cast members Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt.
