Influencers Who Appeared on Reality TV After Becoming Famous: Alix Earle, Charli D’Amelio and More

Not all reality TV stars are created equally — some come with a following before the cameras even start rolling.

From Charli D’Amelio to Alix Earle, many content creators have taken center stage in the Dancing With the Stars ballroom. (D’Amelio won season 31 with partner Mark Ballas, while Earle will be competing on season 34 in fall 2025.)

Earle, who rose to stardom online thanks to her viral “Get Ready With Me” videos, is set to be featured on a new reality show following her and her family.

“The show is in very early stages of development,” a source exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly in June 2025. A second insider noted that no studio has been attached to the project. “It will explore Alix traveling around the world for work and her family dynamic,” the first source shared.

Alix Earle

Earle will lace up her dancing shoes on Dancing With the Stars season 34. “I mean, I’ve always been a fan of Dancing With the Stars. I used to watch it when I was so young with my grandma,” she said on GMA in May 2025. “I was so in love with dance. When this opportunity came to me, it was like, ‘What can I do next? Where can I take this?’ I mean, I’m ready to challenge myself, I think it’s gonna be a lot of fun. It was a very obvious answer to say yes.”

Earle and her family are also the subjects of a new reality show, which a source told Us is “in the very early stages of development.”

Charli D’Amelio

Charli and her sister, Dixie D’Amelio, debuted their own Hulu reality show alongside parents Marc and Heidi D’Amelio in 2021 and aired for three seasons. Charli and Heidi also competed for the Mirrorball Trophy on Dancing With the Stars season 31, which the TikToker won in 2022.

MomTok Members

The entire cast of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives began their public personas as influencers, transitioning to reality TV after Taylor Frankie Paul exposed the swinging scandal. The Hulu series follows the daily lives of the Mormon TikTokers (who named themselves MomTok) — with two of them set to compete on Dancing With the Stars season 34: Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck.

The YouTuber tried her hand at dancing in season 32 of Dancing With the Stars with partner Brandon Armstrong.
