She Received Perfect Scores, Lost Her Abuelita And Just Became The Champ Of DWTS
The country first fell in love with Laurie Hernandez when she helped the U.S. Women’s Gymnastics team bring home the gold during the 2016 Rio Olympics. Now, the country is falling in love with Hernandez all over again as the winner of “Dancing With The Stars” Season 23. Her time on DWTS stars has been filled with perfect scores and the after death of her abuelita, she ended the show with a big victory.
