Just a month and change after Mirrorball Trophy winner Mark Ballas married musician and longtime girlfriend BC Jean, wedded bliss is on the horizon for another "Dancing With The Stars" notable. Louis Van Amstel will tie the knot with boyfriend Josh Lancaster on Jan. 8, according to a recent series of cheerful tweets by the 44-year old Dutch-American ballroom dance champion.

The LaBlast founder followed up that image with photos from the duo's wedding parties, and one of the pair standing in the knee-deep snow that blanketed their wedding venue on Jan. 5. Although he hasn't shared many specific details about the pair's wedding, but he did tell actress Kirstie Alley --who tweeted her congratulations and asked if his fiance could dance on Jan. 4-- that Lancaster "is becoming a better dancer!!!
Haha :)"

Louis' 'Dancing with the Stars' credentials
The happy groom-to-be has appeared on 10 seasons of "Dancing with the Stars" to date, most recently alongside celebrity chef Paula Deen, who requested that he partner her during the hit reality TV show's 21st season.
(They placed just ninth.) His best finish came during season nine, when he placed third with fashion designer and reality star Kelly Osbourne.
Osbourne has maintained a friendship with van Amstel ever since, and hosted a stag party for the happy couple back in late-November that was attended by "DWTS" pro Cheryl Burke, among others.
Love away from the dance floor
Louis van Amstel and Mark Ballas are far from the only "Dancing with the Stars" alums to find love in recent times. Season 19 champion Witney Carson celebrated her first anniversary with husband Carson McAllister on New Years Day. Sasha Farber popped the question to fellow "DWTS" pro and long-time love Emma Slater during a live show last season, and Val Chmerkovskiy and model Amber Rose --who served as brand new dad Maksim Chmerkovskiy's celebrity partner during season 23-- took their romance public just this week.
"Dancing with the Stars" will return to ABC this spring.
