Background

Born in California, United States, Cody Rigsby was raised by a single mother, Cindy Rigsby, who is said to have struggled with several health problems. Rigsby has one sibling, a brother, of whom not much is known, and his father died of a drug overdose when he was just a few months old. Growing up, Rigsby had a keen desire for dance and performing, teaching his sixth-grade classmates choreographies and being involved in show choirs and musical theatre.

Rigsby’s stepping stone was when he went to New York and trained as a professional dancer. He went from gig to gig, performing with celebrities such as Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry and sometimes side-hustling as a waiter to pay his bills. He also worked as a professional dancer for “Elle Magazine.” With the help of a friend, Rigsby was able to secure an interview to work for Peloton, a company established in 2012. Apart from creating endless fitness routines, he is Peloton’s cycling director. He also deals with talent recruitment and development. Like many children who struggle in school, Rigsby got mocked for being gay while performing on stage.

As a grown man, he’s had a taste of success and continues basking in it. He got into a relationship with Andrés Alfaro in 2018. The couple prefers to keep their relationship private. In 2020, Rigsby had to quarantine and partake in the “Dancing with the Stars” competition online, dancing with his partner, Cheryl Burke, on split screens.
