America turned down her husband. Now Ann Romney is repaying the favor. According to TMZ, she has rejected "Dancing With the Stars" after seriously considering competing next season.

"Ann Romney was approached, but she declined," Romney's rep reportedly told TMZ.

When the 63-year-old wife of former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney attended the "DWTS" finale last year, it hatched rumors that she might join the show. And sources told TMZ that Romney was "very interested," but that the two sides couldn't hash out an agreement.

The Huffington Post is alone in reporting that Romney's decision may be related to Multiple Sclerosis, the disease she's been battling for 14 years.

Are you bummed?

Season 16 of "Dancing With The Stars" premieres Monday, March 18, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

DWTS has a tendency to go after political family members, so wrong. How can it possibly be fair to the other contestants with votes?

This is not about Obama vs. Romney. Mrs. Romney turned the show down. It was her decision and I personally think it was a good one for the sake of her health. Personally would not watch if she were on because I have little respect for her as a person.  What I don't get is how after 4 years in office, people still have the nerve to be so disrespectful to the President and First Lady by calling them names such as "Obummer" and "Moochelle". You may not like them or their politics but at least have the decency to recognize them in the office they hold for the country.If you live in the US then they are YOUR president and first lady regardless of who you voted for in the 2008 or 2012 election.

Smart & classy woman with a great since of humor. Glad she turned it down. Now she won't have to subject herself to the trash that watches the show!

Yes, I am bummed. I think she would bring something new and different to the show. I am sorry to know she has MS and I am sure it would take a lot out of her. I wish her well. She is a classy lady and I really don't care what the rest of you think about her.

Dear Ann,

 

I really don't like you - and you really don't like little minions like me. I don't have the lush lifestyle nor the sophisticated tastes that only money can buy. Oh bother!

I'm glad you are banished from First Ladyhood!

Who cares? Ann was more of a glory hound than her husband was most of the time. I feel for her having MS, but that's as far as it goes. She and her husband, if he'd been elected, would have dragged this country back at least 100 years. Go away, Ann, and take your useless husband with you.
