Ezra Sosa responds to false engagement story
Ezra Sosa, the 25-year-old professional dancer from Dancing With the Stars, pushed back on a viral claim that he and his partner, Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles, secretly eloped. The pair finished third on DWTS season 34, and Sosa used humor to shut down the engagement rumor in a Dec. 28 TikTok.
In the short clip, Sosa displayed the online article, leaned into the frame, donned sunglasses, and blew a kiss while captioning the post, “Plot twist of the mf century.” The playful reaction made clear the story was misinformation and that Sosa preferred to address it lightly.

More than a joke: Sosa defends his partnership with Chiles
While Sosa laughed off the engagement reports, he has taken a more serious stance when it comes to protecting Chiles from damaging rumors. During the season, he publicly refuted claims that Jordan was a “mean girl,” saying such descriptions couldn’t be “further from the truth.”
“For those of you who do not know Jordan and I and our dynamic,” Sosa said on Instagram, “it is very much a brother and sister.” He added that their chemistry is genuine and that he was grateful she’d come into his life.
Jordan Chiles’ reaction
Jordan Chiles, 24, addressed the chatter as well. On her Instagram Story she reassured fans they were “perfectly fine,” noting the pair “laugh, joke and I’m pretty sure you can tell our connection is pretty good through our social media.” She urged fans not to let rumors influence voting, saying she came on the show “to have fun and enjoy a new chapter of my life.”
Context and public profile
Sosa, who publicly came out as gay in June 2022, and Chiles attracted attention both for their performances and their visible camaraderie on and off the dance floor. Their close bond and lighthearted interactions generated social-media discussion throughout the season — some of it positive, some speculative.
By responding quickly and with humor to the engagement article, Sosa controlled the narrative without amplifying the gossip. His mix of jest and past public defenses of Chiles underscores that the pair view their connection as a supportive partnership, not a secret romance.
