How Maggie Sajak Reacts to Boyfriend Jackson Olson’s ‘DWTS’ Role (Exclusive)
Dancing With the Stars truly hit a home run with the casting of Jackson Olson.
At least, that’s the enthusiastic sentiment from his girlfriend, Maggie Sajak. As the daughter of the former Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, Maggie couldn’t be prouder of Jackson’s exhilarating move into the limelight of DWTS for its 35th season this fall.
“He’s unstoppable when he puts his mind to something,” she shared exclusively with USA Sports’ Renee Montgomery at the ESPYS 2026 event in New York on July 15. “I’m thrilled to watch him shine in the ballroom.”
Maggie, who made their relationship public on Instagram in April, intends to support him all the way as the Savannah Bananas baseball star joins the dance floor with fellow contestants like Ciara Miller, Maura Higgins, and Guillermo Rodriguez, along with others awaiting announcement.
“I’m just so excited to support him through this whole journey,” Maggie added. “It’s going to be amazing.”
And the journey will be a bit bananas for Jackson, who explained that he will be performing on DWTS while also playing regular baseball games across the country.
