DWTS Season 35 Adds Connor Wood and Sarah Jane Nader as 2 More Spoilers Emerge

Q: With a two-night premiere looming, which professional dancers will be tasked with transforming these rumored reality stars into ballroom champions?

It is not known yet. As of now, ABC has confirmed only one Season 35 professional pairing: **Witney Carson with Guillermo Rodriguez**. For the rumored additions such as **Connor Wood**, **Sarah Jane Nader**, and **Conner Leavitt**, no professional partners have been officially announced. The same applies to other rumored names including **Harry Shum Jr., Giada De Laurentiis, Taylor Hanson, Ezra Frech, Tyler Cameron, Tatyana Ali,** and **Jenna Dewan**. The key date is **September 2**, when ABC is expected to reveal the full Season 35 cast on **Good Morning America**. That announcement is also expected to include the remaining celebrity-pro pairings ahead of the show’s **two-night premiere on Sept. 15 and 16**. What is confirmed beyond Carson’s return is the broader on-air team: **Julianne Hough** and **Alfonso Ribeiro** are back as hosts, while **Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli,** and **Derek Hough** return as judges. Season 35 is also expected to feature at least one new professional dancer from **DWTS: The Next Pro**, but that addition has not been matched publicly with a celebrity yet. So, for now, any pairing involving the rumored reality stars would be speculation. The only verified answer is **Witney Carson will dance with Guillermo Rodriguez**, and the rest should become clear on **GMA**.

The insider's clues pointed to Wood through his "Fibula" nickname, Bumble past and podcast ties, while Nader was linked through hints about a "sister" and a yacht tied to Brooks Nader's family.
A third spoiler from the same wave named Conner Leavitt, husband of former contestant Whitney Leavitt, as another likely Season 35 cast member.
The rumored lineup now stretches well beyond the four officially confirmed contestants — Guillermo Rodriguez, Jackson Olson, Ciara Miller and Maura Higgins — with the full cast expected Sept. 2 on "Good Morning America".
