Ten Bachelor Nation alumni have been part of the famous dance competition show since its first season in 2005, but only three have won — including 2020’s winner Kaitlyn Bristowe, Hannah Brown, who took home the mirror ball trophy in 2019, and Melissa Rycroft in 2012.

And you know that we’ve talked about this about how amazing this opportunity would be, and I am so happy to be the one to tell you that you’re going to be on Dancing with the Stars,” the integrative medicine specialist told his future bride about her casting in the upcoming season 32 of the show.
