Jordan Fisher -- 11 things to know about the 'Dancing with the Stars' celebrity

Jordan Fisher may just be the one to beat on Dancing with the Stars' 25th season this fall.


Jordan is a 23-year-old singer, actor and Broadway star, who is simply a natural performer.

Jordan is partnered with Lindsay Arnold for Dancing with the Stars this season, and so far, the pair has been unstoppable. They top the leaderboard almost every show in recent weeks.

However, People reported that Lindsay injured her knee during rehearsals and may not be able to dance in the upcoming semifinals, so that could be devastating for Jordan's journey on Dancing with the Stars.

Hopefully Lindsay will be fine to dance, because she has yet to win a mirrorball trophy and many fans believe Jordan is her ticket to victory! Curious to learn more about Jordan?


Below is a list of 11 facts Reality TV World has compiled about Jordan Fisher:

- In January 2016, Jordan's take as Doody in Fox's Grease: LIVE earned him critical acclaim and was deemed the show's breakout star by MTV and People magazine.

That spring, he released his first single, "All About Us," which has a pop, soul and R&B sound.

- Born on April 24, 1994, Jordan grew up in a football town outside of Birmingham, AL, yet developed his acting skills at the Birmingham-based Red Mountain Theatre Company.

According to her LinkedIn, Ellie is a 19-year-old student at the University of Alabama majoring in clinical dietetics. Ellie is not a celebrity and calls Jordan her "cuppy cake." They make an effort to see each other once every three weeks.


- Jordan's biological mother was 16 at the time of his birth and struggled with substance-abuse issues, so he was legally adopted and raised by his maternal grandparents, Rodney and Pat.
