Successful Blended Families Highlighted on DWTS

I never expected to write a divorce coaching blog post that referenced Dancing With The Stars. But, on October 14th, during dedication week, two of the dancers dedicated their dances to half-siblings from a parent's remarriage.

Dylan Efron dedicated his dance to his five-year-old sister, Olivia, who was born in 2019 to Efron's father and stepmother.

TikToker Alix Earle similarly dedicated her dance to her 12-year-old sister, Izabel, who was born to Alix's father and stepmother. Alix dedicated the dance to Izabel because her birth "really helped bring our family back together. It was our second chance at our family." Alix's mother, stepmother and father were in the audience cheering for Alix and Izabel.

Blending families is not easy, but DWTS' dedication week beautifully demonstrated that, if handled with care, it can work.
