After being romantically linked to Karina Smirnoff and Meryl Davis, Maksim Chmerkovskiy found his happily ever after with fellow Dancing With the Stars pro Peta Murgatroyd. The couple have been dating on and off since 2012, but Maksim finally popped the question in December 2015.

It turns out that she and Maksim are expecting their first child!

Former Saved by the Bell actor Mario Lopez was paired up with Dancing With the Stars pro Karina Smirnoff back in 2006.

While they didn't officially date, Chad Johnson, formerly known as Chad Ochocinco, spent a lot of time flirting with his partner, Cheryl Burke, during his stint on Dancing With the Stars.

Fans really enjoyed the intense chemistry between Dancing With the Stars pro Derek Hough and actress Shannon Elizabeth during the sixth season of the show.

During the fifth season of Dancing With the Stars, Mark Ballas and Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan brought serious heat to the dance floor.
