Xochitl Gomez is a former Mirrorball Champion and actress (known for Marvel’s *Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness*). The search is related to the results of a recent episode of *Dancing with the Stars* Season 34, which was a 20th Anniversary special (Week 9).
Searches surged following the November 11-12, 2025, episode of DWTS Season 34, which featured a 'shock elimination' of fan-favorite contestant Andy Richter just before the semi-finals. Xochitl Gomez caused an additional spike as she returned to the show to partner with current contestant Robert Irwin in a Relay Dance, where their on-screen 'chemistry' was widely noted by judges and fans.
The elimination of Andy Richter, a celebrity who had survived multiple weeks despite lower judges' scores due to high fan votes, was met with strong reaction from his dedicated fan base (called 'Fandies'). The performance and on-screen connection between Xochitl Gomez and Robert Irwin in the relay competition was a major discussion point, leading fans to 'ship' the pair on social media.
