Dancing with the Stars 2020 is officially underway, and a lot of fans are curious to learn more about TV host Jeannie Mai. The multi-talented television personality dazzled in her two first nights performing alongside partner Brandon Armstrong. Jeannie received a total score of 18 points for each of her performances during these first two episodes, which added up to the overall score of 36. This score wasn't among the highest or the lowest - it was just enough to guarantee her safety on the show for now.

Jeannie Mai was born and raised in San Jose, California. As a teenager, she worked as a makeup artist for MAC Cosmetics, which led her to cross paths with Christina Aguilera and Alicia Keys. In 2005, Jeannie struck gold when she became the host of Character Fantasy on USA Network. She was then brought onto shows airing on NBC, E!, Lifetime, and TLC. In her personal life, Jeannie married actor Freddy Harteis in 2007. That union yielded a number of creative collaborations between the two. Sadly, their relationship just couldn't escape the harsh realities of stardom. After ten years of marriage, Jeannie and Freddy announced that they were separating.

Jeannie Mai's divorce happened in the middle of her very successful stint as one of the hosts of The Real. The syndicated talk show cast her with a panel of women of color such as Tamar Braxton, Adrienne Bailon, Loni Love, and Tamera Mowry. Following Tamar's exit, Amanda Seales joined the show. Throughout her career, Jeannie has proven herself to be a hardworking and talented game changer. As an Asian-American television personality, she has broken down barriers and shows no signs of slowing down. Being on Dancing With The Stars season 29 will give her the chance to expand her visibility.

In 2018, The Real won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host. Still, Jeannie never rested on her laurels. She continued to pursue additional opportunities, such as becoming a fashion correspondent on Entertainment Tonight. As of now, Jeannie is engaged to rapper Jeezy. They have been dating since 2019.

If Jeannie Mai is able to stick around on DWTS 2020 for most of the season, one can be sure that her audience will keep expanding. Regardless, Jeannie is living her best life, and her legions of existing fans are loving every minute of it.
