Could Model Alexis Ren Be Joining 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 27?

Every year we come upon a ton of rumored celebs that are set to join Dancing With The Stars – and this year is no different.

While former child star Nancy McKeon was already confirmed as Val Chmerkovskiy‘s partner earlier today, another rumored celeb has been unveiled – model Alexis Ren.

If you don’t know who she is, that’s okay. Alexis rose to fame after her features in both Maxim and Sports Illustrated.

“They haven’t really gone the influencer route yet, so this is new to them,” a source told ET. “But besides being young and attractive, she also has a very compelling story. Her mother died when she was just 17 years old and she’s struggled with an eating disorder in the past.”

DWTS has done the influencer route before though, with both Bethany Mota and Hayes Grier.

If Alexis does join the cast, we’d love to see her as new pro Brandon Armstrong‘s partner. That would be an amazing pairing!

Dancing With The Stars premieres on September 24th on ABC.
