Nyle DiMarco shows off his mirrored ball trophy during his appearance on Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family earlier in the week.
The 27-year-old model, activist and new Dancing With The Stars champion also recently spoke to US Weekly about the possibility of being the new Bachelor.
Nyle also mentioned how amazed he was that DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba took the time to learn sign language.
“It was really very touching and, you know, she actually took the time to learn sign language and we don’t really see that often in this world, so that really meant a lot to me and it really touched me and it really hit me right at the heart,” Nyle explained.
