After three decades on the ABC Network, DWTS will make its Disney+ debut. The dancing competition will begin on September 19 and will include a varied group of celebrities from many sectors competing for the Mirrorball trophy. Tyra Banks and former Mirrorball champion Alfonso Riberio will present the newest episode of the series. In an interview with People regarding DWTS, Alfonso stated:
“To be invited to co-host with Tyra and be a part of the amazing team, dancers, and friends…
It’s an honor to be on stage with them and to be a part of that family again.”
Jason Lewis, who portrays Samantha Jones’ love interest, Smith Jerrod, in the HBO series Sex and the City, is one among the celebs confirmed to compete on DWTS. He will compete with pro dancer Peta Murgatroyd, as well as fellow actresses Selma Blair, Trevor Donovan, Cheryl Ladd, and Daniel N. Durant. Lewis proposed to his long-term partner Liz Godwin in 2019, despite the fact that they are 20 years apart in age. She also influenced the actor’s choice to go on Dancing With The Stars.

How did Liz Godwin persuade Jason Lewis to compete in DWTS?
Jason Lewis is slated to compete on DWTS, and fans can thank his girlfriend for this. When asked about the project, the actor was originally apprehensive, and he said that a number of things led to his choice to accept the offer, but the biggest one was Liz Godwin. In an interview with People, the actor discussed DWTS and stated:
“I’d always said no because I saw it as reality TV and it wasn’t of interest to me.”
Liz advised him to be “a bit less pigheaded” and watch the previous seasons when the opportunity arrived. The pair originally met in Miami roughly 7 years ago and have gone a long way since then. Just before dusk, the actor proposed to his producer girlfriend on a cliff. She was taken aback and had not expected the proposal. She claimed to be “overwhelmed by emotion and sentiments” she was unaware she had.
Lewis confirmed their engagement on Valentine’s Day through Instagram, writing:
“On December 27th, 2019, I proposed to the lady of my dreams, making me the happiest guy in the world.”
Liz also posted on the social networking platform:
“The cats are out of the bag, and I’m going to spend the rest of my life with this guy.”
Liz (31) and Jason (51) have a 20-year age difference, yet age is only a number for this pair. When asked about their relationship, the bride-to-be described it as “nurturing, fun, and ever-evolving.” She further said,
“He’s my unshakable pillar of strength and lifeline. We have no illusions or expectations of one another. And we don’t feel like we own each other.”
When Jason was deciding whether or not to compete on DWTS, he described Liz as a “wonderful support.” He also revealed that his future bride is a huge fan of the program and is excited about his match. Liz, according to Jason, had a list of persons she hoped her husband would be matched with, and Peta was one of them.
He stated:
“It’s been wonderful because she’s not only kept me up to date, but having someone to share it with who’s extremely excited has been really nice.”
Jordin Sparks, Gabby Windey, Vinny Guadagnino, Teresa Giudice, Shangela, Charli D’Amelio, Heidi D’Amelio, Wayne Brady, Jessie James Decker, Joseph Baena, and Sam Champion are among the other celebrities that will participate on DWTS.
