Who will partner with Kaitlyn Bristowe on Dancing with the Stars?

Kaitlyn Bristowe is joining Season 28 of Dancing With The Stars–-but who will be her partner?

It’s almost September, and you know what that means! It’s almost time for the premiere of one of the best ABC shows, Dancing With the Stars! I don’t know if it can get any better than last season, which culminated in Hannah Brown making it all the way to the end and winning the Mirror Ball, but ABC is certainly going to try. Especially with Bachelor Nation royalty Kaitlyn Bristowe joining the cast for Season 28!

Dancing with the Stars often selects the most recent Bachelor or Bachelorette to compete on the show, and the most obvious choice for this season would be Peter Weber, as he was the most recent lead. However, whether it’s due to Peter turning them down to spend more time with Kelley Flanagan, or he simply wasn’t selected due to his season’s controversial ending, this season of Dancing with the Stars will break the pattern and feature a lead from seasons past.

After Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season, there were rumors flying around that Mike Fleiss, Bachelor creator, had purposely blocked her from appearing on Dancing With the Stars, after Kaitlyn claimed he “hates women” and ruined her chances of appearing on the show in an interview with Nikki Glaser.

Despite what may or may not have happened in the past, former dance instructor Kaitlyn is finally getting her chance to compete for the Mirror Ball!
