“Dancing with the Stars has been such an important part of my life for so many years, and I am ecstatic to officially re-join this tight-knit family as co-host,” Alfonso said in a statement. “Tyra and I have a longstanding friendship that I hope will resonate with all of the fans at home as we kick off this new season on Disney+.”
Tyra also released a statement about Alfonso joining the show: “I’ve known Alfonso since I was 19 years old and he always puts a smile on my face whenever I see him. Having such a fun-loving, longtime friend as co-host warms my heart. Plus, he’s won the competition before, so he knows exactly what the stars are going through. Bantering back and forth with him live is going to be so much fun!”
Season 31 will mark Tyra’s third consecutive season as the host. She took over hosting duties from Tom Bergeron, who was the host for the show’s first 28 seasons. Judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli, and Derek Hough have all signed on to return for season 31.
The new season of Dancing With the Stars will move to a new home on Disney+ after 30 seasons on ABC.
