THEN AND NOW: Every 'Dancing With the Stars' pro who's won a mirrorball

• Nineteen "Dancing With the Stars" pros have won at least once since the show premiered in 2005.

• Derek Hough, who is currently on the judging panel, leads the pack with six mirrorball trophies.

• Here's what every winner is up to today since earning their titles.

Season 1 winner Alec Manzo went on to get a degree in business.

Alec Manzo won the first season of "Dancing With the Stars" with "General Hospital" star Kelly Monaco. He continued on the show sporadically until season nine, but never again placed higher than eighth (with Toni Braxton in 2008).

After he left the show for good in 2009, Manzo earned a Master's of Science degree in business management from Stanford University in 2012, according to his LinkedIn profile. He currently works as a general partner at the investment firm DGA Capital and lives in the San Francisco Bay area.

But Manzo will forever be connected to "DWTS" because he met his wife Edyta Śliwińska when she was also a pro dancer on the show. The couple married in 2007 and have two children.

Cheryl Burke is now a podcaster.

Cheryl Burke is a two-time "DWTS" champion, snagging her trophies back-to-back on seasons two and three with boy-bander Drew Lachey and NFL star Emmitt Smith, respectively.

She appeared on 18 consecutive seasons of the reality show, starting in 2006 with Lachey. Burke officially retired from the show in 2022 after competing with meteorologist Sam Champion. In total, she danced on 25 seasons of "DWTS."

In May 2019, Burke married actor Matthew Lawrence, whom she'd met after his brother Joey was cast on "DWTS" in 2006. The couple announced their divorce in February 2022 and finalized it that same year, but the split wasn't exactly amicable. Lawrence and Burke went to court about custody of their dog Ysabella. Burke won.

Julianne Hough has literally grown up on "DWTS."

Julianne Hough is another two-time Mirrorball champion on "DWTS." She won the competition in season four, which aired in early 2007, when paired with Olympic gold medalist speed skater Apolo Ohno. It was her first year as a professional dancer on the show.
