Pro dancer Karina Smirnoff confirmed to Entertainment Weekly last week that the first name of her celebrity dancer is 'Ryan.' She told the publication, "I'm just going to say my partner's first name is Ryan, So you go wild--Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gosling...you pick! But it's Ryan, and it is a hottie."

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.

Pro dancers set to return to the show are Cheryl Burke, Peta Murgatroyd, Karina Smirnoff, Lindsay Arnold, Emma Slater, Derek Hough, Mark Ballas, Val Chmerkovskiy and Tony Dovolani.- but again, the official confirmation will be revealed tomorrow. Pro dancer Kym Johnson will be skipping DWTS this year to be a judge on Australia's DWTS.

Other names rumored to be joining this year's show include Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham, former baseball player Jason Varitek, Fullhouse star John Stamos, and actor Seth MacFarlane.
