Charli D\u2019Amelio<\/a> is returning to the ballroom during the September 30 episode of\u00a0Dancing With the Stars<\/a><\/em>. This year\u2019s contestants will be dancing to viral TikTok songs, which makes it the perfect night<\/a> for the social media star to come back and hit the dance floor herself once again.<\/p>\n Not only will Charli perform with the\u00a0Dancing With the Stars<\/em> troupe, she\u2019ll also reunite with pro partner Mark Ballas<\/a>, whom she won the Mirrorball trophy with. Scroll down for a refresh on Charli\u2019s\u00a0Dancing With the Stars<\/em> journey and what was going on with her family during that time.<\/p>\n Charli won Season 31 of\u00a0Dancing With the Stars<\/em> in 2022. It was the first season of the show that did not air on ABC, airing only live on Disney+ instead (now,\u00a0DWTS<\/em> is live simultaneously on both the network and streamer).<\/p>\n In the finale, she beat runner-up Gabby Windey<\/a> (partnered with Valentin Chmerkovskiy<\/a>), third place finisher Wayne Brady<\/a> (partnered with Witney Carson<\/a>), and Shangela<\/a> (partnered with Gleb Savchenko<\/a>), who came in fourth place. Charli\u2019s mom, Heidi D\u2019Amelio<\/a>, was also a contestant on the season, finishing in eighth place with partner Artem Chigvintsev<\/a>.<\/p>\n During the Semifinals and Finals, Charli and Gabby both received perfect scores for both of their dances, so it really came down to viewer votes that determined the winner.<\/p>\n Charli\u2019s parents, Heidi and Marc D\u2019Amelio<\/a>, nearly ended their marriage during the time when Heidi and Charli were competing on\u00a0Dancing With the Stars<\/em>.<\/p>\n As Marc explained on a 2023 episode<\/a> of\u00a0The D\u2019Amelio Show<\/a><\/em>, \u201cIt kind of hit me all at once. All of a sudden, I turned around, my life has turned upside down. My kids didn\u2019t need me, my wife didn\u2019t need me. I really felt lonely. \u201cI wasn\u2019t appreciated. I think my first reason was [to] burn this s**t down. It went from zero to 100, like, I\u2019m done. I\u2019m done with this marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n Marc revealed that he and his wife began fighting every single night. \u201cThere were days we\u2019d go without talking,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI talked about divorce. It sucks that [Charli\u2019s sister] Dixie and Charli had to see their parents fight and they had to hear the word divorce. I think they saw a really perfect situation crumbling.\u201d<\/p>\n Heidi gave an update on the relationship during her appearance on the\u00a0For the Girls<\/em><\/a> podcast in April 2024. \u201cI just feel so different now in the best way. You know, we\u2019re now empty nesters. and Mark and I are just enjoying this phase of our life and I\u2019m almost coming into the marriage as a new person, because I stand so tall in my shoes now,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n Therapy and committing to the marriage helped them get through the difficult time. \u201cAfter almost 24 years, it\u2019s a very exciting time for us individually because we\u2019re doing our own work individually too, like fulfilling our lives and then when we come together and talk about it, we\u2019re just in such a different place,\u201d Heidi concluded.<\/p>\n Dancing With the Stars<\/strong><\/em>, Season 34, Tuesdays, 8\/7c, ABC<\/strong><\/p>\n For a more extended celebration of two decades of Dancing With the Stars, from exclusive interviews to retrospectives and must-see photos, pick up a copy of<\/i><\/b>\u00a0TV Guide Magazine\u2019s<\/a><\/b>\u00a0Dancing With the Stars 20th Anniversary<\/b>\u00a0special issue, available for purchase online at<\/i><\/b>\u00a0DWTS.TVGM2025.com<\/a><\/i><\/b>\u00a0and on newsstands now.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\nWhen did Charli D\u2019Amelio win\u00a0Dancing With the Stars<\/em>?<\/h2>\n
