A source has also confirmed reports that Little Women: LA star Terra Jole has joined the cast as well. ET broke news of her involvement. She and Babyface will be competing alongside the likes of Amber Rose, Jake T. Austin and Ryan Lochte, with Jojo Fletcher eyed for competition as well.

The show had hoped to land another Olympian straight out of Rio, but gymnast Simone Biles just wasn't able to make the commitment—yet. "I would love to do Dancing with the Stars, but so far we have a three month tour after this Olympics," Biles exclusively told E! News' Zuri Hall at the P&G Family Home in Rio. "I'm not sure if I'll have time."

Dancing With the Stars premieres Monday, Sept. 12 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
