Only two celebrity cast members have been confirmed so far, Dance Moms alum JoJo Siwa and gymnast Sunisa "Suni" Lee, but now Katie and Blake are teasing that they may be putting on dancing shoes for Season 30.
ABC reality chief Robert Mills tweeted on Thursday, "BIIIIIG #DWTS news coming soon!!!"
And Blake, 31, responded, "Can't wait to get on that stage," along with a dancing emoji.
While the Canadian wildlife specialist could have been joking, Robert shared Blake's post and wrote, "Blake Moynes. Amazing secret keeper."
Blake kept the exchange going by replying, "Ahhh sh-t."
Katie, 30, went on to tweet, "Technically DWTS didn't send him that NDA so I think he's good to go!"
Katie added a laughing emoticon to her post and also addressed speculation she's an upcoming Dancing with the Stars cast member when she captioned a throwback video of herself trying to dance, "When people ask me about @dancingabc -- July 2020 (via TikTok). Same mood," according to Us Weekly.
The Season 17 The Bachelorette star reportedly told her fans in the video clip, "I'm doing you a favor by not dancing on my channel... Look at this. I just went from, like, a hot girl to, like, a really unattractive-in-bed kind of girl."

If Katie chose to sign on for Dancing with the Stars 30, it wouldn't be much of a surprise given former The Bachelorette stars Kaitlyn Bristowe and Hannah Brown both recently competed on the show and even won their respective seasons.

In fact, Kaitlyn, who starred on The Bachelorette's eleventh season, and her pro partner Artem Chigvintsev just won Season 29 of Dancing with the Stars last year.
JoJo and Suni Lee, both 18, were just announced as the reality dancing competition's first two contestants last week.
JoJo will make Dancing with the Stars history when she becomes the first person on the series to dance with a same-sex partner. JoJo's female dance partner has yet to be announced.
The remaining 13 celebrities who will be competing on Dancing with the Stars' 30th season will be announced on Good Morning America on Wednesday, September 8.
The pro dancers for Season 30 are also expected to be announced that same day on GMA.
When Dancing with the Stars returns to ABC, former America's Next Top Model and America's Got Talent host Tyra Banks will reprise her role as solo host of the show following Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews' departures last year ahead of Season 29.
The ballroom will also welcome back returning judges Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonioli and Derek Hough.
Katie and Blake were just shown getting engaged during the season finale of The Bachelorette's seventeenth season earlier this month.

Katie will be moving into a San Diego, CA, apartment as Blake continues to reside in Toronto, Canada, and the pair have said they plan to continue getting to know each other's lifestyles and hobbies before moving in together and putting down roots in one place.
"I don't think people fully understand what it's like to date someone from another country and the rules behind that and the visas behind that," Katie explained in a series of videos last week on her Instagram Stories.
"I think right now Blake can only be here for 60 days before having to go back to Canada," Katie said, seemingly referring to how a Tourist Visa works.
"So we really do have a lot we have to look into -- and we just haven't yet -- before we can plan really anything else."
Although Katie and Blake are clearly looking forward to the future together as a happily-engaged couple, Katie confirmed on her Instagram Stories that she's not in a rush to wed.
When Katie's sister asked when she and Blake plan to get married, Katie posted her response on Instagram last week and wrote in reply, "Not soon at all. He's Canadian... So we have a lot to work through first."
Katie recently admitted she was totally shocked by Blake's marriage proposal but is so glad that he chose to commit to her at the end of her The Bachelorette season.

"It's hard to say the impact of that in the real world, [if he didn't pop the question], because you go through so much and you want to take this very seriously -- and a proposal and engagement is very serious," Katie told Us.
"I didn't come here to find a boyfriend. I can do that on a dating app," she added. "So it's hard to say if we would have survived just as a dating couple."
Katie said her relationship with Blake is incredibly strong now that they've promised each other forever.
"The fact that we're both committed to each other as future husband and wife, it just says a lot about our confidence in our relationship," Katie said.
