Although love is not the object of Dancing With The Stars, many people have certainly found it on the show. Much like Big Brother or So You Think You Can Dance, certain contestants on the show fall in love on DWTS and have had lasting relationships. Whereas, The Bachlor/ette is all about finding love and some of those relationships do not last past the show.
Whether the love is between two professional dancers or a pro and the contestants, most of the relationships have lasted to the point of marriage and children. However, some of them have also broken up.
Most recently, Sharna Burgess and Brian Austin Green danced together, but to be fair they were together before they danced on their season. Dancing is intimate and spending so much time together with someone can make you closer and even fall in love. Here are DWTS pairs who found love on the dance floor.
9 Sharna Burgess And Brian Austin Green
Sharna Burgess and Brian Austin Green were already dating when they competed on season 30 together, but they are too cute not to include. The pair started dating in 2020, not soon after Green confirmed his split from Megan Fox. The pair did not win the season, but they did win the hearts of everyone watching. Their relationship seemed to grow stronger because the couple is now expecting a baby together. This will be Burgess' first baby and Green's fifth, but first with Burgess.
8 Kym Johnson And Robert Herjavec
This is the couple that no one saw coming! Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec competed together on season 20. They did not win, nor did they make the finals on their season, but they came away with something even better- an everlasting love. After less than a year of dating, they became engaged in February 2016 and then tied the knot in July 2016. She has since changed her name. Kym welcomed their twins in 2018- the first and second child for her, but the fourth and fifth for Herjavec.
7 Julianne Hough And Chuck Wicks
Julianne Hough and Chuck Wicks were one of the couples that did not last. They were paired together on season 8 but had met each other before that while on tour with Brad Paisley in 2008. When the pair appeared on DWTS, they had already been dating for a year. Hough and Wicks sadly split up in November 2009, after they realized they just weren't compatible.
6 Emma Slater And Sasha Farber
Emma Slater and Sasha Farber are two professional dancers who are still dancing on the show. They dated from 2011 to 2014 and broke up for a while, but then confirmed on Instagram that they were back together in 2015. In October 2016, Farber proposed to Slater on a live broadcast of the show, and she said yes. In March 2018, the couple tied the knot with many DWTS pros serving a bridesmaids and groomsmen. They do not have any children together.
5 Derek Hough And Hayley Erbert
Derek Hough fell in love with Hayley Erbert in the summer of 2015, when she became a dancer on his and his sister's MOVE Live On Tour. One year later, Erbert became a troupe dancer on DWTS. Hough had already been a pro for many seasons. Despite being together for seven years, the couple has yet to tie the knot. However, they did move in together after Hough's house was finally finished, and they have adorable cats and dogs that they raise together. Judging by their sappy Instagram posts, and Erbert joining him on his Las Vegas residency, they still seem to be madly in love and in no rush to walk down the aisle.
4 Maks Chmerkovskiy And Peta Murgatroyd
Maks Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd first met in 2009 on Broadway, but they did not begin a romantic relationship until they met up again on DWTS in 2012. While on tour, Chmerkovskiy proposed to Murgatroyd, and she emotionally said yes. The couple married two years later in 2017. They welcomed a baby boy named Shai, in January 2017, just months shy of their wedding. They are still together today, however, they are not on Dancing with the Stars anymore.
3 Val Chmerkovskiy And Jenna Johnson
The Chmerkovskiy brothers hit the jackpot when it came to finding love on DWTS. Val Chmerkovskiy, Maks' younger brother, first crossed paths with Jenna Johnson in 2014 when she became a troupe member on the show, and he was a pro. They started out as friends but soon started dating in 2015. The couple did split up for a bit but eventually reconciled. Chmerkovskiy proposed to the So You Think You Can Dance alum in 2018 on a trip to Italy. The couple married in 2019 and are still together today. They do not have children yet, but would like some.
2 Artem Chigvintsev And Nikki Bella
Artem Chigvintsev and Nikki Bella first met when they were partnered together on season 25 of Dancing with the Stars. They went Instagram official after confirming their relationship on an episode of Total Bellas in 2019. The couple were engaged quickly after, in November 2019, but did not announce it until that January. They welcomed a son together named Matteo in July 2020. Bella and Chigvintsev have wanted to get married for a while now, but the pandemic has delayed it.
1 Alan Bersten And Alexis Ren
Sometimes love doesn't last. Alan Bersten and Alexis Ren were partnered together on season 27 of Dancing with the Stars, and they quickly fell in love. The two even shared a kiss in a package on air one week, after the chemistry between them was noticed by fans. The pair made it to the finals of the show but did not win. However, the model and professional dancer's relationship did not last long, ending in December 2018.
