After three decades on the ABC Network, DWTS will make its Disney+ debut. The dance competition kicks off on September 19 and will feature a diverse group of celebrities from many sectors competing for the Mirrorball trophy. Tyra Banks and former Mirrorball champion Alfonso Riberio present the latest installment of the series. In an interview with People on DWTS, Alfonso stated:
“To be invited to host with Tyra and be part of the amazing team, dancers and friends…
It’s an honor to be on stage with them and to be part of that family again.”
Jason Lewis, who portrays Samantha Jones’ love interest, Smith Jerrod, in the HBO series Sex and the City, is one of the celebrities confirmed to participate in DWTS. He will compete with pro dancer Peta Murgatroyd, as well as fellow actresses Selma Blair, Trevor Donovan, Cheryl Ladd and Daniel N. Durant. Lewis proposed to long-term partner Liz Godwin in 2019, despite the fact that they are 20 years apart. She also influenced the actor’s choice to continue Dancing With The Stars.
How did Liz Godwin persuade Jason Lewis to join DWTS?
Jason Lewis is scheduled to participate in DWTS and fans can thank his girlfriend for it. When asked about the project, the actor was initially apprehensive and said a number of things led him to accept the offer, but the biggest one was Liz Godwin. In an interview with People, the actor discussed DWTS and stated:
“I’d always said no because I saw it as reality TV and it wasn’t interesting to me.”
Liz advised him to be “a little less cocky” and watch previous seasons whenever the opportunity arose. The couple met in Miami about 7 years ago and have come a long way since then. Just before dusk, the actor proposed to his producer girlfriend on a cliff. She was surprised and hadn’t expected the proposal. She claimed to be “overwhelmed with emotions and feelings” that she didn’t know she had.
Lewis confirmed their engagement on Valentine’s Day via Instagram, writing:
“On December 27, 2019, I proposed to the woman of my dreams, making me the happiest man in the world.”
Liz also posted on the social networking platform:
“The cats are out of the bag and I’m going to spend the rest of my life with this man.”
Liz (31) and Jason (51) have an age difference of 20 years, but age is just a number for this couple. When asked about their relationship, the bride-to-be described it as “caring, fun and always evolving.” She went on to say,
“He is my unshakable mainstay and lifeline. We have no illusions or expectations of each other. And we don’t feel like we’re apart.”
When Jason decided whether or not to join DWTS, he described Liz as an “amazing support.” He also revealed that his bride-to-be is a huge fan of the program and excited about his match. According to Jason, Liz had a list of people she hoped her husband would match, and Peta was one of them.
He claimed:
“It was great because not only did she keep me updated, but it was really nice to have someone to share it with who is extremely excited.”
Jordin Sparks, Gabby Windey, Vinny Guadagnino, Teresa Giudice, Shangela, Charli D’Amelio, Heidi D’Amelio, Wayne Brady, Jessie James Decker, Joseph Baena and Sam Champion are among the other celebrities who will participate in DWTS.
