Ever since "Dancing With The Stars" season 19 started, "Pretty Little Liars" actress Janel Parrish and partner pro-dancer Val Chmerkovskiy have been a topic of dating rumors. The dance couple's chemistry on-stage is undeniable, and viewers have long been wondering if their relationship has gone from merely being dancing partners onstage to being dating partners in real life.
And while the season of "DWTS" has ended, the rumors about the two have not waned. After the finals, Janel shared her sentiments and thanks to her partner via Twitter, which has sparked fresh speculations.
"Last glance at this beautiful ballroom where beautiful memories were made I will forever cherish. Thanks for being my partner and friend and an amazing teacher @imvalc," Janel posted on Twitter.
While Janel's Twitter message is very simple and doesn't hint on any budding romance with Val at all, a photo recently surfaced that further escalates the speculations that the two are dating.
Hollywood Life was able to capture a photo of the two leaving "The View" and they were holding hands. According to the report, the two acted like a couple that day before Thanksgiving, and they allegedly couldn't keep their eyes off each other. In the photo, Janel is smiling and they look very happy.
But this is not the first time that dance couples were rumored to be dating. Val's brother Maksim Chmerkovskiy and partner Olympian skater Meryl Davis won season 18 and they, too, were plagued with romance rumors near the end of the season.
Meanwhile, the "DWTS" season 19 gang will be headed on a tour, which means that fans will be seeing more of Janel and Val together.
Hollywood Life asked Val about the tour and he said, "I'm excited for our tour. I'm excited to keep performing with Janel and these guys."
Janel and Val hasn't made any confirmation or denial about what's between them. Then again, maybe they just want to keep what's between them to themselves, for the time being at least.
