The Season 23 cast won't officially be announced until Tuesday, August 30 on Good Morning America, but sources are coming forward to leak some names prematurely.

According to multiple sources, Babyface will be appearing on the next edition of Dancing with the Stars, E! News reported.

Babyface, formally known as Kenneth Edmonds, is an iconic musician and producer. In addition to having some big hits himself, he has written and produced famous songs for artists including Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Madonna and Ariana Grande. He also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Sources told Entertainment Tonight that Hernandez, McCormick, and Samms will also be competing on the ABC reality dancing competition.

Hernandez is a 16-year-old Team USA athlete who just won a silver medal on the balance beam and a gold medal in the women's team all-around at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

McCormick is best known for her former role on Brady Bunch. Dancing with the Stars' Instagram account hinted about her participation on Thursday when teasing who will be paired with pro partner Artem Chigvintsev.

"Hint: @theartemc's partner is a published author, released a country album, and started acting when she was 9! Who is she? #DWTS," the caption read, which appeared alongside a photo of 34-year-old Chigvintsev.

McCormick fits that description, as she released her memoir Here's the Story: Surviving Marcia Brady and Finding My True Voice in 2009. She released a country album in 1995 and also made her acting debut in The Farmer's Daughter in 1965, when she was just 9-years-old.

Samms played Holly Scorpio on General Hospital and sparked speculation she will be appearing on Dancing with the Stars with a recent tweet.

"I have some good news but I can't tell you yet which is annoying. Though probably not as annoying as this tweet. Sorry," Samms wrote, to which DWTS host Tom Bergeron then replied, "@EmmaSamms1 You're such a tease!"

Beverly Mitchell, star of The WB show 7th Heaven, is still in talks to join the cast as well, ET reported.
      
Jodie Sweetin from the latest season of Dancing with the Stars reportedly spoke to Mitchell about the potential opportunity while filming Hollywood Darlings, an unscripted docu-comedy series which will premiere on Pop next year.

As previously reported, the following celebrities have already signed on for Season 23 of Dancing with the Stars: Talk show host and Kanye West's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose, Disney Channel star Jake T. Austin, Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, The Bachelorette star JoJo Fletcher, and Little Women: LA star Terra Jole.

Nine of the 13 professional dancers who will be starring on DWTS have already been confirmed, with Maksim Chmerkovskiy's return being the latest announcement.

Dancing with the Stars is set to premiere Monday, September 12 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
