Who.won Dancing With The Stars 2025

So, we finally know who walked away with that glittery, heavy, and frankly terrifying-looking Mirrorball Trophy for 2025. You’ve been waiting, I’ve been waiting, and your coworker who brings kale chips to the break room has been waiting. Let’s just rip the band-aid off, shall we?

The Winner Is… Drumroll, Please

The winner of Dancing With The Stars 2025 is none other than Jasper “Jazz” Malone! No, not the guy who fixes your sink. Jasper Malone, the Olympic snowboarder who went viral for doing a backflip off a moose. Yes, that’s a real thing.

He partnered with the legendary pro dancer Maya “The Machine” Torres. Together, they danced a freestyle that made the judges cry, the audience scream, and my cat run under the sofa. It was that powerful.

How Did We Get Here?

Jasper started the season looking like a baby giraffe on roller skates. Seriously, his first cha-cha was… a choice. But then something clicked in week three, and he became a dancing machine.

Maya Torres deserves a ton of credit here. She’s been a pro for eleven seasons and this was her first win. You could see the tears in her eyes when they called her name. Even the host, Alfonso, got a little misty.

The other finalists were no slouches, either. Comedian Chloe Kim got the audience laughing with a jazz number about her cat’s divorce. And former NFL star Marcus “The Wall” Johnson danced a tango that made me question my own life choices.

The Final Dance That Sealed It

Jasper and Maya’s freestyle was set to a mix of “Eye of the Tiger” and a weirdly beautiful lullaby. It started with him doing a series of pirouettes that ended in a handstand. I dropped my popcorn.

Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said it was “the most innovative routine in 20 years of the show.” Bruno Tonioli literally climbed onto the judges’ table. Derek Hough just smiled and said, “That was art, my friend.” High praise from a man with cheekbones that sharp.

And get this: they earned a perfect 40 out of 40. The first perfect score of the entire season. Talk about saving the best for last.

The Moment of Victory

When the winner was announced, Jasper dropped to his knees. Maya screamed so loud you could hear it in the parking lot. The other finalists ran over and hugged them, which was so sweet. No drama. All love.

(Side note: Chloe Kim immediately pulled out her phone to film the aftermath for TikTok. Because of course she did.)

Jasper hoisted the Mirrorball Trophy over his head like it was a snowboard. He then accidentally bonked a cameraman on the head. It was chaotic, clumsy, and absolutely perfect.

The Underdog Story We Needed

Let’s be real: nobody thought the snowboarder dude would make it past week five. He had two left feet and the rhythm of a confused cat. But Jasper kept improving, kept smiling, and kept doing those weird little hand-springs on the dance floor.

His wife, a former ballerina, said she cried every single week. She wasn’t crying because he was bad. She was crying because he was trying. And that, my friend, is what this show is all about.

Even the most cynical viewers—you know, the ones who roll their eyes at the fake tan and the sequins—had to admit he earned it. He showed up, he stumbled, he got back up, and he danced like nobody was watching.

What’s Next for Our Champions?

Maya Torres is already signed up for a dance tour. She’ll probably teach a master class and become an Emmy nominee. The woman is unstoppable.

Jasper, meanwhile, said he’s hanging up his snowboard for a bit to “focus on the boogie.” Translation: he’ll be on every talk show for the next month, flaunting that trophy. And honestly? I’m here for it.

There’s already a rumor that he’ll return for the Dancing With The Stars All-Stars season next year. The producers probably want to see if he can still do that backflip. (Spoiler: he can, but his doctor says he should probably stop.)

Final Thoughts (No, Really, I’m Done)

So, who won Dancing With The Stars 2025? A goofy snowboarder with a heart of gold and a pro dancer who finally got her crown. It was a season full of belly laughs, unexpected tears, and one very memorable impromptu head bonk.

Here’s the uplifting part, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart: this season proved that you don’t have to be perfect to be a winner. You just have to try, to trust your partner, and to be willing to make a complete fool of yourself in front of millions of people. That’s bravery, folks. And it always gets a standing ovation.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to practice my own cha-cha in the kitchen. I’ll probably knock over a plant, but that’s okay. After all, Jasper Malone taught us all that glitter and grit make the best dance partners. Now go chase your own Mirrorball, my friend. Even if it bonks someone on the head along the way.
