Keo Motsepe Latest News, Photos, and Videos

Evanna Lynch and partner Keo Motsepe ham it up for the cameras during their appearance at Planet Hollywood in New York City on Wednesday afternoon (September 12).

The 27-year-old Harry Potter actress has revealed her motivation for why she signed up for Dancing With The Stars.

“I really wanted to challenge myself,” she shared in a video soundbite from the series. “I’ve never done anything like this. It’s reality TV, six days a week and being in front of people.”

Evanna added, “When I’m left to my own devices, I’m much more of a wallflower…I’m very introverted. If you don’t tell me what to do, I just stay at home and read. That is my happy place, but it’s not my best place.”

She also says that her new journey on DWTS can kind of be compared to her journey on Harry Potter.

“You should be constantly pushing yourself…that’s what Harry Potter did for me when I was 14. I was shy, I was afraid of everyone and having to be in the spotlight and be a part of this huge franchise, it brought me out of myself in a way that made me happier,” Evanna says. “I needed another push and that was this is for me. I want to challenge myself and be scared every day and face it.”

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

Keo Motsepe is giving from the heart this Thanksgiving.

The Dancing With The Stars pro has opened up about his new organization, Thank The Angels, which delivers gift bags to those in need for the Thanksgiving holiday around Los Angeles.

“It started a few seasons back when I danced with Jodie [Sweetin], there was one week where it was just a terrible week for me, and I remember buying food and I was going home, and I was like, ‘Wait, I’m not going to eat this food, why did I just buy it?’” Keo told IBT.

He continues that it was one particular woman who inspired him to give back again and again.

“I saw this woman with a child, so I thought, let me just try to give them the food. I don’t know if they’ll take it, but I’ll try… my heart said, ‘Get out of your car and give them the food,’ So I just did that, and I went up to them and I said, ‘Hi, this is some food that I just bought and I wasn’t hungry,’ and offered them this food. And this woman, just held my hand and started crying, and that was a moment that I will never forget in my life for sure.”

From there, a new idea and organization was born — and this year, he’s partnering with season 25 partner Barbara Corcoran as well as Sasha Pieterse to deliver up to 200 bags instead of his planned 50.

Among the items that will be in these gift bags will be Thanksgiving food, blankets, clothes and toys.

“The only thing I’m doing this for is literally, out of love,” Keo adds. “Nothing else, just love,” he said. “Love wins.”

Jake Miller and Jenna Johnson just can’t stop!

Earlier this year, when a fan account suggested that the musician and dancer should be partnered up on Dancing With The Stars, both Jake and Jenna were definitely for it!

Now, with the 24th season quickly approaching, Jenna and Jake met up inside the Oscars & OK! Magazine Party, fueling more rumors that they possibly could be teamed up for it.

Jenna captioned with their pic: “Future DWTS Partners??????”


JJJ definitely would not complain one bit about Jake and Jenna being partnered up for season 24…but could they actually?

Jake‘s Overnight tour was postponed for the time being, so, there’s definitely a possibility that this might just happen. Crossing fingers it does!

Paris Berelc, Keo Motsepe and Gleb Savchenko are also pictured below at the party.

The Dancing with the Stars: Live! � We Came to Dance tour is kicking off NEXT WEEK! Can you believe that?

Happy belated birthday to Keo Motsepe!

The Dancing With The Stars pro dancer turned 27 earlier this week, on Thanksgiving Day!

While he couldn’t have a big bash or anything on Thanksgiving, he did gather up all his DWTS pals including Jenna Johnson, Sasha Farber, Lindsay Arnold, Emma Slater, and Brittany Cherry for a big dinner out at Fig & Olive in Los Angeles on the weekend.

“Thank you for the birthday wishes and happy thanksgiving,” Keo wrote on his Twitter just days before.
