Dancer (and Mom!) Ashly Costa Returns to DWTS
When viewers tuned in to the season 10 premiere of Dancing With the Stars last week, they saw a familiar face: Professional dancer Ashly Costa, who is paired with legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin, returned to the ballroom for the first time since competing on season three.
So where has Costa, formerly known to DWTS fans as Ashly Del Grosso, been all this time?
“I got married and I had two babies,” the 27-year-old tells PEOPLE. Ashly and husband Michael Costa moved to Massachusetts and their first child, 2 ½-year-old Ammon Michael, was born in July 2007. Two years later their second son, Enoch Daniel, now 8 months, was born.
Last December the family bought a home in Utah, only to get a call soon after that Dancing wanted Costa back. And how could she refuse? “I was so excited. It’s fun for me to do what I love to do and then go home and be a stay-at-home mom,” the dancer says.
After Monday night’s show, Costa rushed back to her trailer to be greeted by her boys. “This is an adventure for them. They love adventures,” she says.
