Who is Nyle DiMarco? He’s Dancing on DWTS Season 22!

With Peta, as we said in our Couple spoiler post a little bit ago.  Paige already has a post dedicated to her, so we figured we’d clue you all in to Nyle as well.  And OMG…he’s hot.

Nyle is the latest winner of America’s Next Top Model and the shows second deaf contestant. From E! News:

America’s Next Top Model winner Nyle DiMarco is trading his smize for dancing shoes: the 26-year-old model/actor/deaf activist will compete on season 22 of Dancing With the Stars, a source tells E! News exclusively.

Sources confirm that the most recent champion of Tyra Banks’ modeling competition is heading to the DWTS ballroom, where he’ll be joining rumored fellow cast member Jodie Sweetin on the series (which our insiders have also confirmed), and will be the second-ever deaf contestant on the show.

Nyle’s Wiki page says that he has a fraternal twin brother, in addition to another brother and his parents – all of whom are deaf. Courtney tells me his brother is a DJ/dancer – so I would make no assumptions about Nyle, if I were you. He might have more trouble over coming the model curse.
