In almost every season of "Dancing with the Stars," it's inevitable that a showmance will start to brew as some celebrity contestants will be rumored to be dating their dance partners. Among the most talked-about pairings in the past include that of Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff, Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and Janel Parrish and Valentin Chmerkovskiy.
This season, it appears that the pair to watch is Robert Herjavec and his partner Kym Johnson. Last week, it was reported that the two left together after the "DWTS" premiere to attend a party. They were also reportedly seen getting cozy at a screening of the popular ABC competition show.
Last Monday on DWTS, Herjavec downplayed the dating rumors as he said in the rehearsal footage that he and Johnson don't "really pay attention" to the rumors. After the show, the pair was spotted as they headed off to dinner at Craig's in West Hollywood.
