Milo gushed that his mother has been so supportive as he’s made his way to the ballroom. “You know, I am so lucky to have a mom that has been in the industry for such a long time,” he told reporters after week one. “She is telling me to be myself, and she is telling me [that] when the judges say something it might be something that appears to be mean, but they’re actually just helping out. I really am listening to what they are saying, and I am definitely going to work on it. She just motivates me to work even harder.”

Milo is paired with pro Witney Carson, 24, and he also revealed what’s been the toughest challenge for him so far. “You know, the hardest thing for me is definitely getting over my nerves,” he continued. “My mentality is getting in the way of my body. When we are at rehearsal, I start thinking about the competition, and I start thinking all about it, and I start to stumble, but I just have to focus on my steps. I have drop into the dance and focus and really trust her and feel it.”
