If the rumors are true, then Dancing with the Stars just might be getting a little more gone with the wind fabulous. According to TMZ, The Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kenya Moore will twirl on the dancefloor during the upcoming Season 30 of DWTS.
Sources tell the site that Kenya could be joining the new season alongside confirmed celebs Team USA medalist Suni Lee, who just won a gold medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games, as well as JoJo Siwa, who will be the first person to compete with a same-sex partner. The full cast is set to be announced on September 8 and the new season premieres later that month.
Earlier this year it was confirmed that Tyra Banks will be back to host in Season 30; Len Goodman, Derek Hough, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli will return as judges.
While fans will have to wait to find out if Kenya will be on DWTS, Tyra has made it clear in the past that she is "a huge fan of the Housewives." She even teased in a statement in late 2020 that she "just tried to get one of her really good friends on the Housewives! She watches the shows. She loves them."
Kenya could be the latest Real Housewife to try and win the mirrorball trophy on DWTS. Previously Lisa Vanderpump, Kim Fields, Nene Leakes, Erika Jayne, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, and Lisa Rinna all competed.
