Elaine Hendrix Hospitalized After Rib Injury on 'Dancing With the Stars'

On October 28, 2025, it was revealed that Elaine Hendrix, the "Parent Trap" actor, had been hospitalized after sustaining a rib injury during rehearsals for "Dancing With the Stars." In her pre-performance package, Hendrix was seen experiencing intense pain in her ribs while practicing with her partner, Alan Bersten.

"Elaine and I were dancing and all of a sudden, Elaine kind of froze and said she can't move and she can't breathe and something happened with her rib," Bersten said. Hendrix herself described the injury, saying, "I feel like my muscle is twisted under my ribs."

Despite the setback, Hendrix was cleared by doctors to stay in the competition. However, due to her inability to perform, she was judged on her last full rehearsal, where she received a score of 32 out of 40 from the judges.
