“My heart hurts to tell you all that I will not be able to do the DWTS tour this winter. This is an extraordinarily difficult time for us, I hope all of you can understand that my place is here with my family,” she wrote on Instagram on Wednesday, Dec. 13. “Right now, my focus needs to be on my family and especially on my husband. I want to wish my partner, Frankie and the whole tour an amazing run. I love my fans and I feel so devastated that I can’t be there, but know that my heart is there with you.”
