\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tThe Dancing With the Stars showrunners caused a stir when they replaced hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews with Tyra Banks in July 2020 \u2014 but it wasn\u2019t the first time the role had a change of guards. Bergeron served as the constant host for the dance competition from its 2005 debut through season 28, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Bristowe admitted that she was messaging co-executive producer Deena Katz<\/strong> and ABC exec Rob Mills<\/strong>. \u201cI was like, \u2018Hey, hey!\u2019 And then I saw you get it, and I was like \u2026 yes,\u201d Bristowe said.<\/p>\nWhen Bristowe praised Hough for her \u201cperfect\u201d chemistry with Ribeiro, the former DWTS<\/em> pro replied, \u201cThank you for saying that.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cI totally love that you\u2019re saying that because there\u2019s been so many things that I\u2019ve auditioned for and I\u2019ve been so heartbroken that I didn\u2019t get it,\u201d Hough continued. \u201cAnd then I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh, but that makes sense. I\u2019m happy for them.\u2019 Sometimes, though, I\u2019m like, \u2018That does not make sense and I\u2019m still heartbroken. This is not fair. Totally should\u2019ve got that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Before being named official cohost, Hough had a long history with the hit ABC show. She became a pro during season 4 in 2007, going on to win two mirrorball trophies with Apolo Anton Ohno<\/strong> and H\u00e9lio Castroneves<\/strong> in May 2007 and November 2007, respectively, during her time on the ballroom floor. Hough then transitioned to a judging role<\/a> on and off between 2014 and 2021.<\/p>\nBristowe, meanwhile, took home the mirrorball trophy with pro dancer Artem Chigvintsev<\/strong> during season 29 of the series in November 2020 and has been candid about her experience ever since.<\/p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s something so magical about watching it. I watched it with my mom from the first season it was on to now,\u201d Bristowe exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em><\/a> in October 2022. \u201cAnd, you know, knowing what that process is like and the hard work that these dancers put in every day and how hard it is on your body and your mind, I love supporting the show and I actually miss it so much that I get this overwhelming feeling of joy that I, like, cry on every dance and laugh and I\u2019m like, \u2018Oh, I miss it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\nBristowe gushed that the DWTS<\/em> ballroom is \u201csuch a family.\u201d She added, \u201cThe No. 1 thing I learned about myself in that process was how resilient I was. I was like, \u2018My body is meant to do some crazy things. \u2026 If I can do Dancing with the Stars<\/em>, I can have a baby. I can do anything.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n
