'Dancing with the Stars: Juniors' - Kids turn matchmaker for one of the 'DWTS' season 27 pairs

DWTS Junios contetants Ariana Greenblatt and her pro-partner Artyon Celestine see some major romance potential between their mentor Brandon Armstrong and his DWTS partner, Tinashe.

Tuesday saw the full cast of competitors for 'Dancing With the Stars' spinoff, 'DWTS: Juniors' being revealed, while the DWTS adult version held its first round of elimination. And if their brief time on stage is any indication - they truly have a whopping load of charm and charisma to steer them through the upcoming series and turn it into a massive hit! But that's not all, as they put their brains into bigger issues in life - such as playing matchmakers between first-time DWTS pro, Brandon Armstrong - who is also expected to be one of the mentors on the spin-off - and one of the stars participating this year on DWTS season 27.

"We're trying with Tinashe," said 11-year-old Ariana Greenblatt to Entertainment Tonight, referring to Armstrong's star-partner this season. "Tinashe's really pretty, and he needs to date her because she's nice and talented, and so is he," Greenblatt, who is best known for her role in 'Avengers: Infinity War,' where she played young Gamorah, added. And chiming in with his expert insights was her pro-partner, Artyon Celestine, 11, who said, "And they're both single!"
