Only a who’s who of reality television, sports personalities, and social media superstars will join Season 30 of Dancing With the Stars. Media personality JoJo Siwa and Olympic gold medalist Suni Lee were formally announced as competitors on Aug. 26.

 TMZ reported that Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Kenya Moore would be joining the show. The televison personality, who has been a featured player on the Bravo show for 10 seasons, has not yet been confirmed as a contestant by ABC. Moore would follow fellow Real Housewives stars Nene Leakes, Lisa Vanderpump, Erika Jayne, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, and Lisa Rinna.

Also rumored to have already signed on the dotted line is former Bachelor star, Matt James. The male lead of season 25 would be the first Bachelor star to dance on the series since “Grocery Store Joe” Amabile was paired with pro-Jenna Johnson in 2018 for season 27.

Kloots is a professional dancer who hoofed it on the Broadway stage in Good Vibrations, Follies, Young Frankenstein, and Bullets Over Broadway. She is also a former Radio City Rockette. “I would think she would be amazing. Her Rockette legs are like up to my shoulders,” Inaba said to Hollywood Life.
