Nick and Vanessa Lachey Headed To Dancing With The Stars Season 25?
According to a new report from People, Nick and Vanessa Lachey are going to dance in the new season of Dancing With The Stars. Awesome if true. See the link for more while I get ready to leave shortly on a camping trip.
It appears Peta Murgatroyd and Maksim Chmerkovskiy won’t be the only married couple in the ballroom on season 25 of Dancing with the Stars.
Nick, 43, and Vanessa Lachey, 36, will be among the celebrities vying for the Mirrorball Trophy when the ABC reality dance competition premieres Sept. 18, a source tells PEOPLE.
I know they will probably pair them with peta and maks but I wish they wouldn’t. Just saying it’s so cliche. If this rumor is true pretty good get. I’ve always liked nick and don’t know Vanessa too much but she seems cool. Looking forward to seeing them.
I can see this one being a possibility. We watched a few episodes of that Battle of the Network Stars and I’m pretty sure they were both on an episode. I feel like they’ve also done other things like Hollywood Game Night, etc. I agree, if this is true, it’s a pretty good name to have in the cast. I just hope their dynamic will be different from what we saw with Carlos and Alexa.
i would be shocked if nick isnt paired with cheryl since she won the mirrorball with his brother drew in season 2
I think Vanessa is going to be paired with Mark and nick with either witney or Cheryl.
Hit submit too early: Sharna could be a possibility for him too. I’m not sure how tall peta is but I really wouldn’t want to see him paired with hers
While Mark and Vanessa would make a great looking couple, according to the internet Vanessa’s height is 5’7″ (then add 3″ for heels) and Mark is 5’6″. So I doubt they would be paired together.
Yuck! I hope Nick and Vanessa aren’t paired with the married pro couple Peta and Maks. Good gawd, that’s all we will hear all season, and Maks will think he’s all that and a bag of chips. Gag me.
I’ve wanted Nick on for awhile so I’m thrilled about this. What I’m not thrilled about is him competing with his wife. The Carlos/Alexa nonsense was so god awful and while it seems Nick and Vanessa’s relationship isn’t like that, the situation is just too ripe for manipulation.
Cheryl makes sense to me as Nick’s partner, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if they pulled Peta and Maks in. It’s the type of obvious storyline TPTB love. Nick is supposedly only 5’9 so I wonder if they would pair him with Peta, but I do think Peta and Nick could be good together.
Mark is 5’7″ or 5’8″. Vanessa might be too tall for him, but it’s not out of the question. Derek danced with Shannon who was only an 1″ or less shorter than him.
Would it not be interesting for a married couple to compete against each other with another married couple? So Nick and Peta Vanessa and Maks?
I think Maks and Vanessa and Peta and Nick would be great together. But don’t see it happen. I think Nick will have Lindsay or Witney. And Vanessa will have Gleb
Nick and Vanessa would be great for the show. They are family oriented, mature, nice couple. People, Billboard and ET all have confirmed them being on S-25. But, the biggie will be on when DWTS confirms them.
I’m reading this rumor as legit-if it is, they are a pretty competitive couple, from social media posts and I, too, saw them on Battle of the Network Stars. They’re, also, older and more experienced than Carlos and Alexa were-I think, for me, Nick and Vanessa will get on my nerves far less than Carlos and Alexa did LOL
As to who they will be paired with? I wouldn’t be surprised if the producers paired them with Maks and Peta in order to play up the whole married couples act ???????????????????? but maybe not….
FYI: William Shatner-yep the actor-has been tweeting about DWTS-he tweeted Tom Bergeron about it-some weird random tweet and then he tweeted Peta and outright asked her who her partner was for this new season and she responded with laughing emojis?! It was strange as hell ???? But as hasn’t Shatner’s name been thrown in the pool before as a possible contestant? I can’t remember….???? I know he has a tendency to act friggin weird too so this might not be worth much of anything….
I love that these two are going to be on. This is a fun get. I just hope they aren’t wasted on Peta and Maks. I think it’d be a kick to have Cheryl get Nick and get at least to the finals. I know she isn’t Lindsay but it’s been so many years since she won it’d be cool to see her get close with her first win’s brother. They’d certainly be fan favorites.
Like I said with Charo last season, Nick is somebody who could’ve been on this show since season 1 and was probably asked every single season since then. Like Charo he carries that “wait, what? He hasn’t been on yet?” feeling around. Because of who he is and because his brother already did it so long ago. Like his brother, he has all the potential to win. Clear frontrunner already.
Vanessa is very fun and funny. I’ll aways respect her for a very funny guest role on 30Rock which impressed me a lot and I saw that episode recently and she’s always been a good actress since. I saw her on Hollywood Game Night recently and she was again, fun and funny to watch. They’re a great couple. She looks the part of a frontrunner too, but since she’s not a performer like Nick was, it’s not an automatic feeling, but again, she “looks” like one.
But yeah, sadly this has Maks written all over it. Which means she won’t win. I doubt Maks ever wins again because of his annoying ways. Hopefully this is a Mark situation and it helped get him back. Even Artem would
be better than Maks.
Forgot that Cheryl might be coming back. This could be the reason behind it. Both could’ve decided to join the show because of each other.
Alexa and Carlos were a very young couple who might have been very easy to manipulate by the show. I can’t imagine Nick crying because Vanessa is voted out, for example. Or each of them having a heart attack when the other is placed on the bottom or getting bad reviews by the judges. (Exagerating of course, but it almost felt like that). That level of annoying immaturity won’t likely be present here at all.
I thought Nick said he wouldn’t do the show because Drew won it already? Going back on that one, huh?
I think it would be fun to have the 2 married couples face off in the competition. I really would like to see Nick/Peta vs Vanessa/Maks.
People thought that Denise Richards looked like a winner too – and we know what happened there. Vanessa is in that same Brooke/Denise mold and it could go either way.
I’ll never forget how ecstatic Maks fans were that he got Denise after Derek won with Brooke. 😀 They were already pissed and jealous about Derek way back then and he only had that one win under his belt.
Shatner is a HUGE DWTS fan, a huge Derek fan (almost fan girl level), a good friend of Tom Bergeron and he tweets all the pros all the time. He loves all of them and gets pretty invested in the season. He was a Nick hater last season because of his Bachelor ways, and they would tweet each other on SM all the time. Not a new thing – been going on for years. Always been a fun thing though. And he always vows that he’ll never do the show.
Sooooo predictable, which is why it’s likely Maks and Peta. Come on – these producers don’t have a new idea in their heads and can’t seem to help themselves.
#Princess Heidi that’s what I thought! LOL and thank you for reminding me about his tweetstorm last season with Nick too! ????
If predictable is definitely the case… looks like I won’t be rooting for Nick and Vanessa this season.
Already a you tube season for me. Peta said she would not return unless they gave her a good partner, guess they accommodated with a huge ringer. So cute, they can all choreograph as a group with babies and nannies in tow.
Seriously? Peta would not return unless they gave her a good partner. I guess the C-bros mentality is already burned into her ego. If that’s the case Peta can go s*ck it.
Would Peta like to talk to sweet Miss Emma? A fellow professional dancer who endured season after season of non-contenders, … always a smile on her face that lights up the room. She never had it easy, yet she never once gave up… now that’s a true dancing professional.
It’s a shame if Peta has bought into that mentality because I would argue her best, most enjoyable season was the one with Tommy Chong.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Cheryl with Nick and Mark with Vanessa…it might be overkill for TPTB to pair a couple with a professional couple. I’m over the Maks and Peta focus on the show.
If Cheryl is with Nick…I hope they win. hehe…way too early I know.
Court already confirmed the pairings. Last season they tried to make a big deal about the C couple and it didn’t really work so they’re trying a different approach this season. I’m sure the cute babies will be teasers.
Instagram account factsdwts is reporting that they will in fact be partnered with maks and peta…that shouldn’t annoy me as much as it does
Well, if it true—maybe we will no doubt see both the small babies who only several months apart. Both were born earlier this year. How nice. (did I say a lot of camera time, too)
Gee, wonder where “factsdwts” got that info. Perhaps from Courtney, eh? :::rolls eyes:::
I like Vanessa so I hope that maks doesn’t phone it in like he tends to do. Nick and peta could be cool I guess. Just hoping that both the lacheys can dance lol.
@KreativeKat actually the Lachey’s third child was born in late December last year, a couple of weeks before Shai was born
Hit submit too early. Nick has that boy band background so I can guess that he still has those skills but the only time I’ve seen Vanessa dance was in disaster movie lol
Thank you, Leonie. They are closer in age than I thought. I was trying to get the latest photo of them and their children as they are now. If I remember correctly Shai was born in Jan this year. They have beautiful children.
Oh, barf…I’m with you, #28 Rose. Just the thought of these 2 paired with M and P annoys me.
Carlos and Alexa’s marriage looked so “why are they even together.” All other pairings based on marital status can only be an improvement.
Taking a look at these two, they seem like a solid couple. I really like what I’m seeing. I hope the focus is on the dancing and not on the competition with each other. Maybe they’ll be a good influence on their pro partners too lol.
Nukegrrrl, I think the Penavegas are really good people, extremely devoted to one another and their sweet baby. They moved out of Hollywood to a new life in Hawaii for a more grounded lifestyle. I think they did a poor job of executing the script they were handed on DWTS, but they are as real as you can get IMO.
I’m pretty sure Mark was irritated with Alexa and how she seemed to not want to do better than Carlos on the show. They are Christians and in Christian marriages, the man is the leader of the home, hence Alexa’s deference. Alexa had a HUGE breakthrough with Derek and got her first perfect score during switch week. Mark just seemed kind a checked out of their partnership from the get-go. Carlos, imho was overrated and Witney didn’t do him any favors with the choreo. She seemed to kind of phone it in.
Now that Maks and Peta are married, I’ll be interested to see how this pans out. I just don’t want to see the same narrative that TPTB played out in S21 with the PenaVegas!
