Professional dancer Jenna Johnson has spent over a decade lighting up the ballroom on Dancing with the Stars.
Over the years, the 31-year-old has built a reputation for her energetic choreography and supportive coaching style. Along the way, she’s also shared the experience with her husband, fellow pro Val Chmerkovskiy, making the show both a career highlight and a family affair. While they’ve danced with many stars already, Johnson admits there are still a few dream contestants she’d love to see step onto the ballroom floor.
“I feel like I’ve been on the Jason Kelce train for a minute,” Johnson told Woman’s World in a recent interview. “I’m, like, ‘How do we get him?' While the idea of watching the older Kelce brother trade his football gear for ballroom shoes is exciting, Johnson revealed that another celebrity has long topped her wish list. She admitted she has been “begging” for Taylor Lautner to join the competition for years.
“I’m hoping one day he’ll say yes. He could come in and do his backflips,” Johnson joked. “His wife (also named Taylor Lautner) can come, too. They can be with me and Val. That would be iconic.”
The pro dancer imagines the married duo joining her and Chmerkovskiy on the dance floor for a memorable season. For now, though, it’s unclear which celebrities Johnson and her husband will be paired with when the ballroom lights turn on again.
