Hilaria Baldwin is joining Dancing with the Stars Season 34, stepping onto the ballroom floor for a new reality competition chapter. The mom of seven has been teasing the move in recent weeks, posting dance videos with her husband Alec Baldwin and fueling speculation about a DWTS debut.
Baldwin joins a cast that already includes Robert Irwin, Alix Earle, and Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt, bringing a mix of family life, online-following potential, and entertainment experience to the show. A rep for ABC did not respond to requests for comment, and a rep for Hilaria could not be reached.
The 41-year-old dancer has been vocal about the possibility in the public sphere, sharing clips with Alec and hinting at a potential DWTS run. She has also hinted that fans’ enthusiasm and manifesting cues from supporters have kept the conversation alive. Alec Baldwin has teased his own openness to the idea, suggesting that there could be “parameters in place” if she were to compete, while expressing support for her having fun and pursuing what she loves.
This season marks another reality TV moment for the Baldwin family, who previously invited audiences into their lives with the TLC series The Baldwins. That show aired earlier this year and overlapped with legal headlines surrounding the Rust shooting trial, in which Alec was indicted for involuntary manslaughter before the case was dismissed. Alec has described that period as a unique and authentic time for the family, and Hilaria has said she has no regrets about letting cameras in during such a turbulent moment.
DWTS Season 34 will premiere on Tuesday, Sept. 16, at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on ABC, kicking off a fresh cycle of celebrity performances and high-energy dance numbers.
What this means for DWTS: Baldwin’s entry broadens the show’s appeal and keeps fans guessing about how the real-life dynamics between her and Alec might influence her performance and backstage moments. The season’s diverse cast suggests a mix of personalities and backgrounds that could translate into a variety of entertaining routines and storylines.
Summary: Hilaria Baldwin joins a diverse DWTS Season 34 lineup, bringing a high-profile entry to a season that already features a mix of reality TV personalities and public figures, with the premiere set for Sept. 16 on ABC.
