'Dancing With the Stars' News: Is Derek Hough Officially Mark Ballas' Best Man? [VIDEO]
As if there was any doubt, Mark Ballas has essentially confirmed that his Dancing With the Stars co-star and life-long best friend Derek Hough will be the best man at his wedding.
Ballas and his fiancée BC Jean sat down with People Now recently and discussed Hough's previous quippy announcement that he will be the best man at their wedding. Ballas did say that "of course" Hough would be his best man, but they also had their own jabs for him.
"[Mark] hasn't asked him, so Derek is getting a little cocky," BC Jean said, laughing.
Ballas also said that he wanted to make the wedding about his fiancée.
"We're going to make the wedding about the marriage," he said. "I want this to be her day."
"I don't want to be out-danced at my own wedding!" BC Jean quipped.
As for what music they have planned for the wedding reception, Ballas and BC Jean indicated that they are open to all kinds of performers and music.
"I think we're going to have a couple guest performers and some friends that I'm sure will want to perform," Ballas said, adding, "I love the idea of having a live Latin band and a DJ to play top-40 favorites."
Ballas is coming off a busy season of Dancing With the Stars. The pro was paired with UFC fighter Paige VanZant this past season, and the couple became a force to reckoned with during the competition, ultimately placing as runners-up. This was Ballas' best showing on Dancing With the Stars since being the runner-up with reality star Sadie Robertson in season 18. The pro has won twice before, with Kristi Yamaguchi in season 6 and with Shawn Johnson in season 8.
Dancing With the Stars season 23 is slated to air this fall on ABC. It remains to be seen if Ballas will be back.
