Based off the hint, Entertainment Tonight speculated that her partner could be Olympic gold medalist Ryan Lochte.
Cheryl Burke, another veteran pro dancer of DWTS, also teased clues about her new celebrity partner. "He is someone I've never had before, and I've been on 16 seasons so you can do that process of elimination and figure it out."
Harper, who is currently battling brain cancer, is reportedly paired with Tristan MacManus, according to TMZ. Berkley is most likely paired with Val Chmerkovskiy, after her voice was heard in a video introducing the pro dancer's new celebrity partner.
