DWTS Family Joins the Fun
The humorous kiss-cam moment drew responses from several alumni of Dancing with the Stars. Lisa Ann Walter, known for her role in *Abbott Elementary*, expressed her excitement by commenting, “This is awesome.” Another former contestant, Elaine Hendrix, humorously questioned whether she should be jealous of Richter. This lighthearted interaction highlighted the camaraderie shared among the cast, particularly as Richter and Slater recently competed together in the show’s 34th season, finishing in seventh place.
Reflections on Dancing with the Stars
Richter reflected on his experience with the competition following his elimination during the “20th Birthday Party” episode in November. He told *People* that the journey had significant physical and emotional impacts. “Certainly my body is enjoying not dancing,” he remarked, noting the toll that rehearsals took on him. “I was really getting to the point where I was always having to ice my knees every hour… There was a lot of pain and injections just to be able to keep going.”
Despite these challenges, Richter expressed how the experience rejuvenated him, stating, “It’s made what I think is physically possible expand completely. Honestly, it’s kind of made me younger.”
Bersten and Slater have been inseparable both on and off the dance floor since confirming their relationship in April. Slater previously shared insights on their collaborative dynamic, mentioning how they exchange choreography ideas during rehearsals. Richter humorously added that Slater often calls Bersten over to demonstrate movements, ensuring a supportive partnership among the dancers.
The playful kiss-cam moment further solidified their bond and added to their collection of memorable public appearances. For the Dancing with the Stars family, humor remains a vital element of their shared journey in the spotlight.
