An NFL WAG is the latest contestant to be announced for "Dancing With The Stars" Season 34.
On Thursday, May 22, the reality television show announced on "Good Morning America" that influencer and model Alix Earle had been chosen as the second contestant to compete for the Mirrorball trophy this fall.
"This is so surreal," the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model said on "Good Morning America," after the announcement was revealed.
The 24-year-old, who's dating Houston Texans wide receiver Braxon Berrios, 29, said she's always been a huge fan of the show.
"I used to watch it when I was so young with my grandma," she said. "I was so in love with dance. When this opportunity came to me, it was like, 'What can I do next? Where can I take this?'"
Earle said she's ready to "challenge" herself during the dance competition.
"I think it's gonna be a lot of fun. It was a very obvious answer to say yes."
The social media influencer isn't stepping into the ballroom completely green. She has a background in competitive dance and admitted that she already has "some rhythm." However, she's never tried ballroom dancing or performed with a partner before.
ABC has not revealed what dance pro she'll be partnered with yet.
"I would be grateful to be with anyone," she said. "I think they're all so talented. I'm looking for a partner who's gonna be a good time, a good friend, and really push me to be my best," she said.
Earle is the second contestant, behind the late Steve Irwin's son Robert Irwin, to be announced.
After the GMA episode aired Thursday morning, Earle was quick to share her own personal announcement with her 7.5 million followers on TikTok.
She captioned the post, "AHHH see you this Season on @Dancing with the Stars."
The social media influencer donned a tight-fitting white one-piece halter-top shorts outfit in the video, while she danced around.
"Me trying to do the whisk," she wrote in a text overlay on the video. "It's okay ... Guess I'll learn this Season on DWTS," she said.
