‘Dancing With the Stars’ 2017 Cast: Meet the Season 24 DWTS Contestants

Nick Viall

Bachelor star Nick Viall is paired with pro partner Peta Murgatroyd, who is a brand new parent to fellow pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy's first child. Viall and Murgatroyd are rumored to be performing a Cha Cha routine for the premiere episode. Nick Viall recently wrapped up his stint as The Bachelor, winding up with contestant Vanessa Grimaldi as his fiancee. When asked about their relationship on the franchise's After the Final Rose special, the two were open about their struggles and difficulties. This has led to many fans wondering if the couple has any kind of future together. Viall explained to The Insider that: We made a conscious choice to not like show up and be like 'oh my god'... things are great but also this hasn't been the easiest. He then explained in a press call: We're just being realistic about our relationship. We're not a couple that's known each other for a year before -- we're going to walk before we run, so to speak. Every couple before us feels the pressure. That pressure exists. There's no denying that. Vanessa and I are not pretending that we don't have our challenges ahead of us. We're going to give it our best shot and we're going to treat each other with respect. We're going to put each other first. Being on Dancing With the Stars certainly may make spending time with his new fiancee difficult, but Grimaldi was just spotted at rehearsals, so we'll have to see how it goes. (Instagram/NickViall)
