Amber Rose, Val Chmerkovskiy Continue Fueling Romance Rumors With Sweet Photo

Amber Rose continues to spark rumors that she and “Dancing With the Stars” partner Val Chmerkovskiy are dating.

The model recently took to Instagram to share a photo of her and Chmerkovskiy. She captioned the image simply with, “him,” along with a heart emoji. The pro dancer also posted the photo to his Instagram and used the rose emoji as a caption.

The two were also recently spotted holding hands while walking to Delilah in Los Angeles, according to People. The rumored couple was “giggly and seemed very comfortable together,” an eyewitness told the publication.

The two started sparking rumors during their stint on the 23rd season of “DWTS.” The flame was fanned even more when the two shared sweet photos of them together during Rose’s birthday party.

But despite what may seem to some as a public display of affection, the two are just really close friends. Chmerkovskiy has already addressed the rumors. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the dancer said that his posts are given color by malicious people.

“You know, I post a lot of pictures with Laurie [Hernandez] too and, for some reason, thankfully, there’s no romance rumors there,” Chmerkovskiy said about the 16-year-old athlete. “I can’t control what people think. I live my life and I try to live it, you know, the way to live it.”

Even Chmerkovskiy’s fiancée has dispelled the rumors. Petra Murgatroyd took to Instagram to share her dismay over false reports that she is jealous of her future husband and Rose’s closeness. Sharing a photo of a story by Radar Online to Instagram, the dancer said, with heavy sarcasm: “They finally got it right. @amberrose boo you better watch out. I’m watching.” She added, “Props for finding a great side eye pic of me.”

Rose has yet to comment on the status of her relationship with Chmerkovskiy. The model’s last confirmed relationship was with basketball player Terrence Ross.​
