Xochitl Gomez REACTS to ‘DWTS’ Win: ‘Couldn’t Believe It’ (Exclusive)

Xochitl Gomez and Val Chemrkovskiy were in celebration mode with “Extra’s” Melvin Robert right after they took home the first-ever Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy on “Dancing with the Stars”! They said it was hard to explain how they were feeling and reflected on why it was actually a little bittersweet to be at the end of their journey together. Val also spoke about continuing Len’s legacy by furthering ballroom dance.

She deserved that Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy

[@gretaalcindor5068]

Oh Yes for a sure!!!! She dance beautiful ❤❤❤❤

[@dereklogan2962]

Yes she did

[@gbelle5592]

Yess!

[@lynnngo7256]

It was a great season! And awesome dancing, loved everything Xochitl and Val did this season!

[@abbieprice3430]

Xochitl Gomez has accomplished so much already at 17 years old! I’m so happy that she won the mirrorball trophy with Val last night!

[@HRosenberger]

How wonderfully right did this season end!! To see two more deserving people win the Len Goodman trophy..BRAVO. From start to finish they were so creatively in sinc with one another. I was worried that sometimes votes go more to popularity in numbers..but to see viewers this season reward the true God given talent!! 😊Somebody with little or no dance background. Cheerleading..gymnastics..athletes. Nobody should have a leg up going into this thing. Any kind of athletic ability has an advantage in physical endurance. Never thought that was fair. Xochitl & Val enjoy every damn minute..Truly earned 😊 🎉

[@maggiewang366]

They did so well together, and really deserve the trophy. I voted 36 votes for them on the final

[@lc-il6wr]

They didn't deserve to win..Jason did.

@@lc-il6wrbe fr. jason was amazing and i rlly enjoyed watching him dance, and yes i agree he did deserve it. but just because someone else deserved it doesn’t mean other people don’t. xochitl and val were also incredible and definitely deserved it just as much as jason.

[@mlchc9004]

My champs from week 1 deserve this Len Goodman Trophy.Xochitl & Val never disappointed in all 11 weeks!!!! Amazing dynamic duo who consistently brought nothing but pure joy to the dance floor

I love the glitter and glamor of DWTS and can't wait to see the costumes they're going to dance in, and the new dance starts.❤

[@danielbautista4757]

Love you guys. Congratulations.

[@pleasantdreams6216]

the others let the ball drop, got into their feelings/thoughts, not xochitls fault she is more emotionally balanced, centered, and never dropped the ball!!! she did great EVERY WEEK

[@themusers03]

Loved watching xochi. Hated watching harry. He should have been gone in week 2.

[@sadie4me2]

I understand he is leaving and will instead be on, “so you think you can dance.” that is disappointing to me.

[@KB-kz5nt]

it’s not him it’s his brother going in sytycd. i wouldn’t be surprised if val took a break or retired since he’s 37 tho.

[@shaunduquette5992]

Max bro,not Val,lol

[@ReinaldaWaters]

She was very good, but should have been in Second. Guess she had more followers who called. Rating system is not fair. More of a popularity contest.

[@mkleejr34]

Second how so? Who is First?

[@lc-il6wr]

Jason should've won.

[@haileeisbest427]

It’s not really like that cause out of all the people in this season Lele Pons had the most followers and she was eliminated pretty early

[@Letyourlightshine333]

She war clearly the best dancer, Cheryl Burke a pro said based technical xochital was about he best.

[@ReinaldaWaters]

Very good, but not the best. Jason should have won.

[@littleone7404]

Oh look another Lori Hernandez mirror ball winner shocking right? The mirror ball went to the wrong person again

[@shaunduquette5992]

sour grapes

[@diannewilliams4687]

I personally think the whole thing was rigged, yes rigged. My husband read an article saying that Val would most likely win. Artem is the best pro out there, and Charity put her heart and soul on the dance floor every week.

[@lc-il6wr]

It was rigged.thats what ive been saying.

[@haileeisbest427]

Y’all don’t have anything else to do then hate on a 17 yr old girl

Clearly dancing with the stars is rigged..what a joke of them winning..

[@raciaellis2466]

Nothing was rigged

[@haileeisbest427]

Grow up and stop being so bitter about her winning. She did absolutely amazing for having no dancing background and she delivered an amazing dance to that dance for time and time again. Her dedication to win was strong and she accomplished her goal and I’m so proud of her. (Grow up, she’s only 17)
