AceShowbiz - Nearing the premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" season 21, more stars who will compete for the Mirror Ball trophy have been revealed. It has been officially announced that Queen of Funk Chaka Khan, "Spy Kids" star Alexa Vega and her actor/singer husband Carlos Pena Jr., as well as Vine and YouTube personality Hayes Grier will join the competition.

In a short video announcing her participation, 10-time Grammy winner Chaka tells viewers to "look out" for her in the upcoming season of "DWTS". Meanwhile, Carlos "pops a big question to" Alexa in their own video, and she excitedly answers, "Yes!"

To be pitted against her husband, Alexa who turned 27 on August 27 told ETOnline, "It's so exciting. It's beautiful, it's overwhelming, it's an incredible blessing." She added, "It's so good, though, because he literally rehearses right next door. So he'll walk over to me and he'll just give me a kiss. It's just so encouraging. He is my teammate and my life partner, so I like that encouragement. I need it."

Carlos also explained why they accepted the gig, "The opportunity to work with my wife was like kind of almost a number one because we love spending time together. We're almost two years married. It's still fresh. I was like, 'Babe, we got to do this' and here we are."

Meanwhile, Hayes says in his own video, "It's going to be really cool and an amazing journey to be on season 21 of 'Dancing with the Stars', and I'm super excited, and I want you guys to be a big part of it and support and vote for us, and it's going to be a great time."

The foursome join Bindi Irwin, Victor Espinoza and Nick Carter who were earlier confirmed to join the next season of the dancing competition series. E!
