We\u2019ll see what happens overtime,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He went on: \u201cI\u2019m working my magic! I definitely want that 100 per cent to happen. That\u2019s actually been my dream ever since I joined the show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Ezra, it\u2019s about more than the competition. He sees it as part of a wider push for LGBTQ+ visibility on mainstream TV. \u201cI\u2019ve been so passionate about same-sex dancing in general, especially being part of the queer community,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s something he already brings to the ballroom every week, from his choreography to the cultural references he weaves into his routines. \u201cEvery single time I choreograph on the show, I\u2019ll always nod to my community or pop culture,\u201d he said. \u201cRepresentation truly does matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cWhen I joined the show, I never thought there would be a space for an openly gay pro to be on Dancing With The Stars. I\u2019m very lucky to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If it does happen, Ezra wouldn\u2019t be the first. <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/09\/17\/theres-only-been-three-same-sex-pairings-on-dwts-but-have-any-of-them-won-the-show\/\">Same-sex pairings have become more common on the show<\/a> in recent years, starting with JoJo Siwa and Jenna Johnson in 2021, followed by RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race star Shangela and Gleb Savchenko in 2022. This season, Sarah Jane Nader and Hailey Bills were paired together, but were eliminated in the first week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So with his season 35 journey over, could season 36 be the one where Ezra
