When it comes to Ziering’s personal life, many 90210 fans remember that he used to be married to Nikki Ziering, a former Playboy Playmate. They were married from 1997 to 2002. As IMDb notes, Ian married Erin Ludwig in 2010. They live in Los Angeles and have two daughters, Mia and Penna.
Ziering did Dancing with the Stars in 2007, where he was partnered with Cheryl Burke. They had a bit of a rough time of it throughout Season 4, often landing in the middle of the pack. They did have some fantastic performances, though, and they were eliminated just before the finals. That is the season that Apolo Anton Ohno and Julianne Hough won.
Will Ian Ziering become a fan favorite during the new season of Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice? Given his recent success with the Sharknado series and his sense of humor, many suspect he will and fans can’t wait to jump into the fun of the new season beginning on January 4.
