Val Chmerkovskiy, the reigning king of the cha-cha and occasional thrower of shade, has waltzed into the drama ballroom, declaring that those juicy Dancing with the Stars β€œshow-mances” are about as professional as wearing flip-flops to a black-tie gala.

In a spicy tell-all on the Lightweights Podcast (ironic name for someone clearly dropping heavyweight truths), Val admitted he once dabbled in the forbidden world of partner romance. β€œYeah, back in the dayβ€”like, first couple of seasonsβ€”I might’ve had, let’s call them tango tangles, with a partner or two,” he spilled. But don’t let the nostalgia fool you; Val is no longer a fan. β€œLooking back, incredibly unprofessional. I mean, it’s like teaching someone calculus and then asking them to split dessertβ€”it just gets messy.”

Val broke it down with some cold, hard truth: β€œThe pro is supposed to be the teacher. This isn’t a Nicholas Sparks novel. The whole β€˜don’t s–t where you eat’ thing applies here.” (Pro tip from Val: Save the romance for the wrap party, not the rumba rehearsal.)

But waitβ€”plot twist! Val, now happily married to fellow DWTS pro Jenna Johnson (aka the actual queen of his ballroom and baby Rome’s proud mama), clarified his past mistakes. β€œOff-season romances? Sure, go wild. But mid-cha-cha? That’s just sabotaging your own choreography.”

Shall We Gossip?
Val’s comments come amidst whispers that Gleb Savchenko and Sasha Farber might’ve been bitten by the β€œshow-mance” bug with their celeb partners this season. Cue dramatic music and possibly a slow-motion tango to underscore the tension.

Val isn’t here to judge (publicly, at least) but made his stance clear: Keep it professionalβ€”or risk undermining your season. Translation: You might end up with more chemistry off the dance floor than on, and nobody’s giving a mirrorball trophy for that.

So, while Val has learned from his missteps, he’s offering some sage advice: β€œDo the paso doble, not the double date.”
