Val Chmerkovskiy wants to dance with Olivia Jade Giannulli's mom Lori Loughlin on a future season of Dancing With The Stars. Val is currently partnered with Olivia on the show's milestone season 30. The two have been shocking both the judges and viewers at home with their impressive performances.
Although Olivia is best known for being an influencer on social media and YouTube, she is also well known for her family's involvement in the college admissions scandal. Olivia grew up in the spotlight due to her mom's success in playing Aunt Becky on the hit family sitcom Full House. In 2019, Lori and her husband Mossimo Gianulli were under fire for bribing colleges in an effort to secure their daughters an enrollment spot. They each served time behind bars for their involvement, while Olivia's success online came to a sudden stop.
As Olivia continues to do well in the ballroom, her partner Val is already looking ahead to future seasons. According to Page Six, Val would love to be partnered with Olivia's mom Lori before retiring from the show. Since Olivia has been a controversial contestant thus far this season, there is no doubt fans would feel the same way about Lori as well. Despite this, Val is ready for the challenge. In fact, he has already been “been trying to recruit” Lori. Val said, "I don’t know how many more seasons I got in me, but I’ll stick around for [Lori]."
Olivia chimed in on the idea, admitting that there is a chance they can convince her mom to take on the ballroom. Although Olivia believes there is potential for Lori to agree to doing the show, she has not proposed the question to her mom. Olivia explained, "Yeah, I don’t know. I haven’t really asked her, like, ‘Would you come on and do the show?" For right now, Lori is continuing to be a supportive mom as Olivia succeeds in this new journey. Olivia raved about her mom, calling her the "biggest support ever." She even admitted that she FaceTimes Lori following each live performance. Olivia concluded the interview by saying, "She’s my hero, so it’s really nice to know she’s watching."
Should Olivia and Val manage to convince Lori to take on the ballroom in a future season of Dancing With The Stars, there is no doubt Olivia will show the same amount of support for her mom in return. Not only that, but Olivia will also be able to give her mom some tips and pointers throughout her journey. If Olivia keeps up the good work in the ballroom, Lori will have some big shoes to fill should she agree to doing the show.
Dancing With The Stars airs Mondays at 8pm EST on ABC.
