"The Bachelor" Season 19 (2015) is nearing its finale and Chris Soules will be declaring his final pick. But, his showbiz career won't end here. The 33-year-old Iowa based bachelor is going to compete for the most coveted Mirror Ball trophy as the 12th contestant of "Dancing with the Stars" (DWTS) Season 20. Meanwhile, the rumours swirling around claim that this move is causing tension between Chris Soules and his fiancée. Read on to find out the details.
Chris Soules is the mystery contestant of "Dancing With the Stars" Season 20 (2015), US Weekly confirmed on March 4, 2015. The bachelor might be partnering with the Season 19's winning pro Witney Carson.
According to the abovementioned publication, Chris Soules met with the showmakers over the past few weeks and discussed about the show. Meanwhile, he even approached former "The Bachelor" and "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Sean Lowe for suggestions.
"He seems like he's not totally sure what he's getting himself into! It will be fascinating to see how well he does," the source told the entertainment news website.
If news is accurate, then Chris Soules will be joining celebrities like Redfoo, Michael Sam, Willow Shields, Rumer Willis, Noah Galloway, Patti LaBelle and others. However, fans must note that the report lacks official confirmation from ABC and associated persons. Thus it is wise to consider it a rumour.
Meanwhile, In Touch (via OK!) is reporting that Chris Soules decision of joining "Dancing With the Stars" has led to some trouble in his relationship with "The Bachelor" Season 19 (2015) winner. This is because his fiancée has "already quit her job" expecting moving to Iowa immediately after the finale. However, Chris Soules will now be moving to Los Angeles for his next TV gig.
"Not only does the winner have to start a new life, but she has to watch her fiancé go straight into the arms of another woman," the source told In Touch magazine. This is reportedly causing "strain" on the couple's relationship. The website points out that Witney Carson's latest Instagram photo, clicked in what appears to be Iowa, indicates that she might be the partner of Chris Soules in the latest season of reality dance show.
"Dancing With the Stars" Season 20 premieres March 16 on ABC. "The Bachelor" Season 19 (2015) Finale airs March 9, 2015.
