According to production sources, Kenya has signed on for the new Dancing with the Stars season, TMZ reported.

Kenya, 50, has starred on Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta for the past 10 seasons beginning in 2012, and she also competed on The Celebrity Apprentice's seventh season in 2015.

Kenya, who won the Miss USA beauty pageant in 1993 and went on to place in the Top 6 of Miss Universe, has also appeared in movies such as Waiting To Exhale in 1995 and Girlfriends in 2004.

If rumors are true and Kenya is a member of the Dancing with the Stars cast, she'll be following in the footsteps of many Housewives before her including NeNe Leakes, Erika Jayne, Lisa Vanderpump, Lisa Rinna, and Kim Zolciak.

The Bachelorette couple Katie Thurston and Blake Moynes are also rumored to possibly be competing on Season 30, as they recently hinted they may be putting on their dancing shoes this fall.

ABC reality chief Robert Mills tweeted last week, "BIIIIIG #DWTS news coming soon!!!"

And Blake, 31, responded, "Can't wait to get on that stage," along with a dancing emoji.

While the Canadian wildlife specialist could have been joking, Robert shared Blake's post and wrote, "Blake Moynes. Amazing secret keeper."

Blake kept the exchange going by replying, "Ahhh sh-t."

Katie, 30, went on to tweet, "Technically DWTS didn't send him that NDA so I think he's good to go!"

Katie added a laughing emoticon to her post and also addressed speculation she'll be on Dancing with the Stars next season when she captioned a throwback video of herself trying to learn some dance moves, "When people ask me about @dancingabc -- July 2020 (via TikTok). Same mood," according to Us Weekly.

The Season 17 The Bachelorette star reportedly told her fans in the video clip, "I'm doing you a favor by not dancing on my channel... Look at this. I just went from, like, a hot girl to, like, a really unattractive-in-bed kind of girl."

Only two celebrity cast members have been confirmed for Dancing with the Stars' next season so far: Dance Moms alum JoJo Siwa and gymnast Sunisa "Suni" Lee.

JoJo will make Dancing with the Stars history when she becomes the first person on the series to dance with a same-sex partner. JoJo's female dance partner has yet to be announced.

The remaining 13 celebrities who will be competing on Dancing with the Stars' 30th season will be announced on Good Morning America on Wednesday, September 8.

The pro dancers for Season 30 are also expected to be announced that same day on GMA.
