Madix even toldETthat she may let the little girls help choose the Disney song that she andDWTSpartnerPasha Pashkovdance to.
“I would love to see what Summer thinks. I know she’s a bigMoanafan [and] a bigFrozenfan,” she explained. “I just want to make her proud.”
The casting news came more than four months after Madixsplitfrom her boyfriend ofnine years,Tom Sandoval, after she discovered his affair with theirVPRcostar and friend,Raquel Leviss.
Though Sandoval, 40,previously toldEThe will be both watching and voting for Madix during herDWTSrun — “I’m really excited for her, I know she has been wanting to do this show for years” — she chose not to comment on her ex’s support.
She did, however, tell the outlet that her casting was a long time coming.
“I just kind of wanted to see if I could do it,” she toldET, adding that she has been “watching the show for years” and is “such a fan of the performances.”
She continued, “You watch and you’re like, ‘Oh, I want to do that.’ I’m a hard worker, so I love being able to put that hard work into dance, into my book, the sandwich shop, all of those things, and it gives me a sense of accomplishment and self-worth that is kind of unparalleled.”
“I’m really excited to be in this space in my life,” she added.

Madix also noted that Pashkov, 38, is “the best partner.”
“There was already something you said in rehearsal the other day that almost made me cry in a nice way,” Madix said to Pashkov during theETinterview. “You said something about, ‘You don’t have to try to do it all yourself. I’ll do it. You’re not going to fall. You’re not going to hurt yourself.'”
“I was like, ‘You’re right… That’s so true, because that’s how I am in my life as well.’ I have the best partner,” she finished.
