Val Chmerkovskiy is rumored to be her dance partner as the two were seen together on Wednesday.

YouTuber Olivia was canceled after her mom – Full House star Lori Loughlin, and dad Mossimo Giannulli, were busted as being part of a massive college admissions scandal in 2019.

The couple allegedly paid $500,000 to get their daughters into the University of Southern California.

The couple reportedly faked a photo of their daughters – Olivia and Isabella – rowing to get them admitted as crew recruits, even though neither of them were rowers.

The 57-year-old star and her husband pleaded guilty in May 2020 to conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud in the admissions scandal.

Lori was released from federal lockup in Dublin, California, in December after two months. Mossimo, 58, was sentenced to five months in prison and was released from home confinement in April.

The pair, who tied the knot in 1997, also have daughter Bella, 22.

SEASON 30 STARS

Along with Olivia, it was reported on Wednesday that Bachelor star Matt James, 29, will also be hitting the dance floor.

The athlete is one of many Bachelor Nation stars to compete on the competition show. 

Trista Sutter, Melissa Rycroft, Jake Pavelka, Sean Lowe, Chris Soules, Nick Viall, Joe Amabile, Hannah Brown and Kaitlyn Bristowe all appeared on DWTS over the years.

MAKING HISTORY

Meanwhile, Jojo Siwa is making history after being named last week as one of the 15 stars joining the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars.

Jojo has revealed she will be partnering up with a female professional dancer when she compete in season 30.

The bubbly 18-year-old YouTube personality along with 18-year-old Olympic gymnast Suni Lee were named as two of the contenders vying for the mirrorball.

The other 13 stars competing in the dance competition will be revealed on Good Morning America, with Jojo and Suni as guests, on September 8, TV Line reports.
