'Dance Moms' season 7 news 2016: Chloe Lukasiak puts return rumors to rest

In the past weeks, rumors about Chloe Lukasiak returning in "Dance Moms" season 7 after leaving the series in the fourth season have been increasingly persistent, but the dancer herself has debunked the reports.

Speaking to MaximoTV during the Rosie G's 2nd annual "GR4CF" Fundraiser and Fashion Show, the Teen Choice Award-winning dancer said that she will not be back in the Lifetime series, wherein she was an original cast member.

"I left on season 4 and I was planning on continuing the dancing act off the show," the 15-year-old clarified. With that said, fans can still follow Lukasiak in her dancing endeavors, just not in "Dance Moms."

Lukasiak was first reported to return following her fellow "Dance Moms" alum Maddie Ziegler's own exit last season. The rumor was ignited when she stated on Instagram that she will be moving out of her current studio.

This was taken to mean that she will rejoin dance coach Abby Lee Miller in the primary studio and return "Dance Moms" season 7. It turns out this won't be the case after all.

Lukasiak was one of the fan-favorites in the series during her four-year run. Her exit was prompted by a feud between her mom Christi Lukasiak and Miller, who criticized the young dancer about a problem with her eyes, which was revealed to be the result of a medical condition.

She is deeply missed by fans, but it appears that she has moved on from the show. She has involved herself in a lot of dance projects ever since leaving "Dance Moms."

Meanwhile, "Dance Moms" season 7 cast rumors also hint that JoJo Siwa and Nia Sioux are the next stars to leave the series. If this will be the case, the show will definitely look very different moving forward.

However, there's no confirmation about Siwa and Sioux's exits so for now, fans can expect to see them in "Dance Moms" season 7 when it premieres next year on Lifetime.
