DWTS’ Ezra Frech Confirms Relationship Status Amid Hailey Bills Rumors
Dancing With the Stars' Disney Elimination Is Not the Fairest of Them All
Ezra Frech isn't dancing around this discourse.
As Dancing With the Stars fans continue to speculate about a brewing romance between the contestant and professional dancer Hailey Bills, Frech confirmed he's keeping his focus on competition.
“I’m single," he told Emma Slater and Sharna Burgess during a TikTok Live Nov. 2. "I’m locked in on dancing.”
And when Burgess asked if the Paralympian was “interested in that changing,” he didn’t switch up his steps.
“I’m locked in on dancing right now,” he said. “That’s all I’ll say.”
Burgess and Slater also quickstepped over to Bills to address the rumors earlier in the Live.
“Do people want to see Ezra Frech?” Burgess cheekily asked Bills, to which the fellow pro quipped, “Probably.”
Unable to let the opportunity to nod toward Bills and Frech’s possible romance shimmy by, Slater asked Bills, “How much do you want to see Ezra Frech?”
“Me?” Bills—who competed alongside Sarah Jane Nader before being voted off in season 35’s first episode—asked. “Oh, I would love to see Ezra Frech.”
Naturally, Slater took the opportunity to wink at the camera and add, “Let’s take a walk. Hey Ezra, Hailey wants to see you.”
But, as Frech noted, he's trying not to miss a beat in the competition.
During the Nov. 2 episode, he performed an intense team dance alongside his pro partner Daniella Karagach as well as fellow celeb contestants Connor Wood, Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Dewan where the men ripped off their pants to reveal “DWTS” printed on their underwear.
Luckily, all went smoothly during the live shows, but Frech admitted it took a lot of focus.

“We did the dance in camera blocking," he told E! News in an exclusive interview after the taping. "We practiced in these rip-away pants, so that when the show would come, we felt comfortable. And so we all ripped our pants off, did the ending, and Connor still had his pants on.”
Frech joked that leading up to the live performance, everyone in the dance had to ensure Wood kept his head in the game.
“It worked," Frech added. "He's so funny. Genuinely one of the most naturally funny human beings I've ever met in my life.”

I made myself a bowl of pasta and a glass of red wine and I redid my vision board for the year. Dancing With the Stars was already on it from the year before. However, I added five more Dancing With the Stars on the board."
