How old is alex on dancing with the stars
Every 'Dancing With the Stars' Pro: Where Are They Now?
Mirrorball champs or not, Dancing With the Stars has featured some impeccable professional dancers in the years since the ABC competition series premiered in 2005. Derek Hough, Cheryl Burke and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are among the talent who have lit up the ballroom.
Some of the show’s stars went on to achieve major success in their careers while others opted to build thriving personal lives. Still, some maintain their roles as pros year after year, returning to the beloved job with their as-close-as-family castmates and vying once again for the title.
Julianne Hough, for one, is perhaps one of the biggest names to come out of the show. The actress won season 4 — her first as a pro — and season 5 with partners Apolo Anton Ohno and Hélio Castroneves, respectively. She left after season 8 to pursue other goals but returned as a judge for seasons 19 through 24 (with the exception of 22).
“Look, never say never because you never know what one day will be from the next,” Julianne told Us Weekly in August 2019 of whether she would return to Dancing With the Stars. “But I owe my career to that show! I was 18 and they brought me back in two different ways. I was a dancer, I was a judge and I’m so happy for everything that’s going on there.”
Meanwhile, some of the show’s stars leaned on each other when it came to making baby plans. “A lot of them have come to me because … they liked how I scheduled [my pregnancy] and how I could get back to work,” Peta Murgatroyd revealed exclusively to Us in October 2019. “I think women nowadays definitely are wanting to work still and not just be a stay-at-home mom. They still want to have careers, they still want to be out there being successful.”
The New Zealand native predicted “a massive baby boom” among the cast at the time. “I think a lot of them are going to do it really soon,” she explained.
“They’re all kind of on the verge of, ‘Yes, let’s do it now,’ or, ‘Let’s wait another six months.’”
Lindsay Arnold and Witney Carson both sat out season 29 in 2020 while expecting. The Catch 21 star opened up in February 2021 about her desire to return to the ballroom.
“That’s the goal,” Carson exclusively told Us. “That’s what I’m working toward. That’s in the plans for now. So if anything changes, we’ll just go with it, but that is in our sights for right now.”
Ahead of the premiere of season 30 in September 2021, both Arnold and Carson were announced as returning pros.

Louis danced his way onto the scene in 2005 for season one of DWTS.
He competed with Bachelorette star Trista Sutter, who was eliminated the very first week. Louis danced for the first three seasons, served as a choreographer for seasons 4 and 5, and continued to be involved in the show until he took a five-season hiatus at season 16. Throughout his time on the show, Louis never won and only made it to the finals once with Kelly Osbourne. His last appearance was season 21 in the fall of 2015, but he didn’t hang up his dancing shoes: He is making his DWTS comeback this season with actress Cheryl Ladd.
Edyta Śliwińska

Edyta is one-half of an OG DWTS couple. She married Alec Mazo, who is also her dance partner, in 2007 — two years after her debut on the first season.

Now, at least according to Instagram, it seems like she spends most of her time with her two children.

He won the All-Stars season with reality TV star Melissa Rycroft — and reality TV is one of the reasons he left the show.

Sharna Burgess

Sharna was a fan favorite since her debut in spring 2013 for season 16. She has been a constant for 13 seasons, but that all changed for season 28. After a controversial win with radio host Bobby Bones — he had the lowest average score of any champion — Sharna was not asked to be a pro or participate in the troupe for season 28.
She said on Instagram at the time that "there are things coming into my world that I’m excited to dive into now that I have time." (Sharna had been serving as a judge on Dancing With the Stars Australia.)
The pro returned for season 29, and seemed pretty happy to be back. At the time, she praised then-partner Jesse Metcalfe on Instagram. "I’ve loved getting to know you the last week and can’t wait for everyone else to get to know how awesome you are," she said.

Dancing with the stars and live dumbbells. Who trains football players remotely
Never before has a footballer spent so much time with his family as he does these days. And they are happy! And they are ready for anything, just to help their husband, dad, boyfriend keep their fighting shape.

A strong home front is not Van Dijk, Piqué or Ter Stegen behind your back. This is family. For her sake, these guys are killed in training and in games, they carry their rather big salaries to her, they celebrate victories with her and find solace in her face in the black days of defeats. And now, when they themselves are in the rear by the will of the coronavirus, the family (in the broad sense, the stamp in the passport is not the main thing here) has to put up with the fact that the common house has been temporarily turned into a training base.
Group training is not allowed. Together with one of the teammates - too. Don't even try to kick the ball with your neighbors: quarantine. And you need to train - someday all this horror will end. And it is necessary to meet liberation not just in shape, but in super shape - it is possible that Boxing Day will come for the entire football world. Who will help? Of course, family!
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already set a task for the wives and girlfriends of the Manchester United players:
— Most of the players today have good houses, with gardens, lawns — I hope their ladies are able to complete a few crosses and crosses to help the guys work on shots on goal.
Seriously? If you look at how Paul Pogba's wife tried to juggle toilet paper with him, doubts prevail...
Nemanja Matic did not torture his wife Alexandra with complex technical exercises, but he attracted all three children to work on "physics" in full. What they are only happy about - not so often dad is at home.
Children also enjoy helping Chelsea midfielder Willian in training. Even though they are girls, they are also Brazilians, and even the daughters of a football player, so the ball is more familiar to them than dolls. “Your older one will be smarter than Kepa,” one of Willian’s Instagram followers remarked, referring to goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, whom Chelsea fans dream of getting rid of.
Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has no children yet. But his girlfriend Perrie Edwards is a pop star, a member of the trendy British girl group Little Mix. Why not David Beckham with Victoria Adams! Only Becks was not seen dancing as cool as Ox.
With Perry, Alex doesn't seem to need any fitness coach. And Jürgen Klopp (and he is closely watching what his players are doing) is happy:
- For me, the main thing is that the guys are in a good mood. By the way, I tried to repeat what Ox does with his girlfriend. And by the way, it didn't turn out so bad!
Klopp, however, didn’t upload footage of his own dance exercises to the network… in the case of Manchester City midfielder Oleksandr Zinchenko.
