After the conclusion of the widely talked about season 11 of "The Bachelorette," Kaitlyn Bristowe might already have her next TV gig.
Rumors claim that the former dance instructor from Canada will be joining the next set of celebrities who will vie for the coveted Mirror Ball trophy in ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" season 21. If that is the case, Bristowe will be following in the footsteps of Bachelor Chris Soules, who was partnered with pro dancer Witney Carson in "DWTS" season 20.
Soules broke Bristowe's heart in "The Bachelor" season 19 when he picked Whitney Bischoff and Becca Tilley to stay for the final rose ceremony in the long-running dating reality competition. ABC asked Bristowe to return for a second chance to look for love in "The Bachelorette" season 11.
On Monday, Bristowe said yes to the marriage proposal of suitor Shawn Booth during the season finale of this year's "The Bachelorette." Now that her heart is already happy with the new man in her life, she can now return to her first love, which is dancing.
If the reports are accurate, then the 30-year-old reality TV star will be the "Kaitlyn" who could replace Caitlyn Jenner in "Dancing With the Stars" season 21. The "I Am Cait" star was one of the widely rumored contestants of "DWTS" season 21 but her rep already denied the speculations, saying that the former Olympic gold medalist is not interested in following the footsteps of her Kardashian stepchildren who already joined the popular reality dance series. She could have been the first transsexual contestant of "DWTS" if she agreed.
Aside from Bristowe, other celebrities who are rumored to join the long-running dance showdown include "Glee's" Chris Colfer, Amanda Bynes, Latin musical icon Ricky Martin, and Jenner's stepdaughter Khloe Kardashian.
ABC is expected to announce the final line-up of celebrity contestants for "Dancing With the Stars" season 21 before the show begins on Sept. 14.
