Dancing With the Stars Triumph: Season 32 Finale Unveils the Ultimate Dance Champion

Tuesday night marked the conclusion of Dancing With the Stars Season 32, which saw five couples vying for the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy following almost ten weeks of competition and a three-hour live finale.

The champions of Dancing with the Stars season 32 are Val Chmerkovskiy and Xochitl Gomez. Tuesday night’s season 32 finale, which featured five couples for the first time in DWTS history, saw Gomez and Chmerkovskiy win the coveted Len Goodman Mirrorball trophy. In second place were Jason Mraz and Daniella Karagach.

In addition, season 32 contestant Barry Williams performed in another shirtless picture, while season 31 champions Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas gave a retrospective in this show.
