The Bachelor bachelorette -- who got engaged to Bachelor Ben Flajnik during Monday night's broadcast of the ABC reality dating show's sixteenth-season finale -- will not be joining the cast of Dancing with the Stars' upcoming season as a possible last-minute addition, according to Us Weekly.
"It's definitely not true," a source told Us. "The first episode is almost totally together now and everyone has learned their dances."
People had reported Robertson was "in talks" to join Dancing with the Stars' fourteenth-season cast as a late edition earlier this week -- even though she would only have a few days to rehearse before the season's live premiere on Monday night.
"We do not comment on casting rumors. You'll have to tune in Monday and see," an ABC publicist told People.
