Yes, but Bachelor Nation doesn't like him as much as they do Sean Lowe or GSJ. Matt's season was the lowest rated in a long time, it had a very controversial ending, and he's under a million followers on Insta.
Per Kristyn Burtt, former NBA player Iman Shumpert, who was on the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers NBA championship team, is the next celebrity to have signed up. He will be partnered with Daniella. Shumpert is married to musician and dancer Teyana Taylor and they had a VH1 reality show together too.

And after two Bachelorettes, we go back to a Bachelor, with Matt James being the next announced contestant.
Sorry to have posted this right after your post, @Linds.
Two steps forward, two steps back, eh? Upsetting that Keo got the boot and that neither of our Latinx pros will get partners when Pasha did on his first season. This is not diversity, ABC/Tyra!

I hate this so so so much. @Elliott, please join me in this hatred.
Thank G-d Janette is leaving and we will not be stuck with her choreography on non-Latin dances any more. Now just to hope that the Great British Public (TM) doesn't vote for the funny old man in lieu of the talented woman again.
The West End musical & Juliet. It's a jukebox musical based on the music of Max Martin (i.e. Backstreet, Celine, NSYNC, P!nk, Ariana Grande, etc) and a reimagining of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet.
Carrie Ann posted her top 10 dances from all 29 seasons of DWTS at this link, and she included 2 season 29 dances. It's certainly interesting and I'm not sure I agree with all of it.
