Summer House star Ciara Miller turned heads at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards on September 27, stepping onto the red carpet as a presenter in striking lace-up leather pants and a matching leather bra. While showing off her bold personal style, the reality television star also opened up about her packed schedule and current relationship status.
Miller is currently putting her focus elsewhere as a competitor on season 35 of Dancing With the Stars. Speaking on the red carpet, she explained that her intense rehearsal routine leaves very little room for romance, especially following a dramatic year that included her high-profile breakup from ex West Wilson and her former best friend Amanda Batula.
“I’m dancing,” Miller shared during a joint interview with her DWTS partner Brandon Armstrong. “There’s no time!”
Focusing on Dance and Independence
While competing for the coveted Mirrorball trophy has been a rewarding challenge, Miller admitted the physical and mental toll has been real. Between rehearsals, she joked that viewers should pray for her ankles and noted that she has discovered a surprising level of stage fright.
“Honestly, I just gotta take it in strides,” Miller said. “I’m doing my best. This is such a new experience for me. This is the ultimate way for me to expose myself after the year that I’ve had.”
Reflecting on her love life earlier this month, the reality star acknowledged that past relationships have taught her valuable lessons about dating. Now single, she is fully embracing her independence, career focus, and freedom.
As for her future romantic prospects, her dance partner Brandon Armstrong playfully suggested that she focus on herself for now. “We should ship her with herself and then get that all sorted,” Armstrong teased, “and then ship her with whoever she wants to ship with.”
