Ilona Maher, America's biggest rugby star and "Dancing With the Stars" runner-up, has waltzed herself over to the United Kingdom to play for the Bristol Bears.
Maher announced the move on her TikTok account Monday after months of speculation as to whether she might join the Premiership Women's Rugby league.
The U.S. women's team won bronze at the 2024 Olympics, the furthest the team has ever gotten at the Games.
Eric McCandless / Disney"I think I'm also doing it again to show that rugby players are so multidimensional," Maher told ABC's "Good Morning America" in September.
The Premiership Women’s Rugby league is also going to be a slight change in format for what many are used to seeing Maher play in.
