"Dancing With The Stars" Keo Motsepe may be best known as the partner of "Fuller House" star Jodie Sweetin, but there are plenty of other juicy tidbits about this sexy dancer you may not know.
Motsepe revealed to Us Weekly that he is a prince in a region of Johannesburg, South Africa.
"I revealed that once on a show I was working on before and I got a different treatment from the dancers," he said of his regal status.
"And I was like, 'Guys, I'm just human. Nothing has changed. We're good.' I don't want people to be looking at me in a different way. I'm still Keo," he shared to International Business Times.
He kept this information a secret from the producers of "DWTS" until he was ready to tell his tale.
"One of the producers of the show [asked] me, 'Keo, where are you from?' She was so fascinated when I told her [I was a prince]. It got to producers and they were like 'What? Why didn't we know about this from your first season?'" he concluded in the same interview.
Born in South Africa, Motsepe began dancing at the age of five with his best friend and by the age of seven, he knew that dance would be his career choice.
In 2004, the dance pro teamed up with his coach and mentor, Rafick Hoosain, and garnered every national title in South Africa, according to his official ABC biography for "Dancing with the Stars."
He had his formal dance training in Latin American, Ballroom, and Contemporary at Corenergy Dance Centre.
Motsepe has been the undefeated South African Latin American Champion in every age category for the last 8 years.
The handsome hoofer also performed on "South African Idol."
Motsepe made history in 2012 as the first South African dancer to join the "Burn the Floor World Tour" according to an article published by Wet Paint.
The multi-talented dance pro can also speak six languages, according to Us Weekly.
He can communicate in Afrikaans, Setswana, a bit of Zulu, Sesotho, Pedi, and English.
Motsepe can be seen on "Dancing with the Stars" Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
