While Travis, 46, and Kourtney, 43, have never competed on the show themselves, their famous family is no stranger to DWTS.

Kim Kardashian competed with D’Amelio’s professional partner Mark Ballas during season 7 of the dance show, while Rob Kardashian was paired with Cheryl Burke in season 13. D’Amelio said she had yet to ask any of them for advice.
