Dancing With The Stars Pro Kym Johnson Dropped Because of Robert Herjavec Relationship?

Dancing With The Stars Pro Kym Johnson Dropped Because of Robert Herjavec Relationship?

The Dancing With The Stars Season 21 premiere aired on ABC, and one familiar face was noticeably absent from the dance floor – pro dancer Kym Johnson. Kym Johnson performed on several seasons of Dancing With The Stars until she fell in love with her partner and began dating Shark Tank millionaire Robert Herjavec during Season 20. Ironically, she ‘opted’ not to return for this season of the ABC dancing competition.

Kym Johnson is currently in Australia sitting on the judges’ panel of their version of Dancing With The Stars. When news first broke that she would not be dancing on this season of ABC’s show – rumors began erupting on the Internet that she might be pregnant with her boyfriend Robert’s baby and that was why she wasn’t dancing, and had opted to take a judge position in Australia instead. But, there is also another rumor floating around that Kym Johnson might have been axed by ABC!

Word among Kym Johnson’s former DWTS co-stars is that ABC was unimpressed that she really began dating her celeb partner Robert Herjavec, and because of their relationship she wasn’t invited back for the next season. Obviously the network encourages flirting among the couples, it boosts ratings and creates some buzz and press for the show. But, actually dating is a whole other story – and the network thought that it was too “messy.” Maybe they have a “no dating your co-workers” clause in their contracts?

ABC obviously doesn’t want to be responsible if two of their partners start hooking up and the relationship goes sour, or maybe becomes some sort of messy high-profile cheating scandal. It is a bit suspicious that Kym was not asked back to the show as soon as she finally confirmed she and Robert were indeed in a relationship?

What do you guys think, did ABC drop Kym Johnson because of her relationship with Robert Herjavec? Or do you believe the reports that she is taking a year off from dancing because she is pregnant? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
