Because you know it takes two to tango.

For 31 years, Dancing with the Stars has waltzed, quick-stepped and tangoed to the sound of the rumour mill. There have been several reported romances between pros and celebs, pros and other pros, and even pros and the brothers of celebs.

But which pro couples are still the perfect 10?

Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy

Not the greatest will they/won't they in TV history, but Jenna and Val had a brief fling in 2015 before going on a break and getting back together two years later. They married in an oceanfront ceremony in California in 2019, and their first child, a son called Rome, was born in January 2023.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd

Veterans of the show – and of the occasional showmance – Maks and Peta got together in 2014. They married in Long Island, New York in 2017, with Peta sporting a full white dress. Their first son, Shai Aleksander, was born shortly before their nuptials. And in January 2023, Peta posted on Instagram to say that 'After 2 years of constant struggle and heartache, 3 miscarriages and a failed embryo transfer…we have a healthy bun in the oven :))'

Alec Mazo and Edyta Śliwińska

This pair of pros were a couple before and during the show. Now an investor at DGA Capital, Alec married Polish-born Edyta in 2007 and the couple have two children – a son and a daughter.

Pasha Pashkov and Daniella Karagach

Pasha and Daniella were dance partners before they were romantically linked. The pair began dancing together in 2009 and instantly hit it off – going to become the first couple to represent the US in all four styles at the world championships (Latin, Ballroom, Ten dance and Show dance), in 40 years. They were married in 2014, joined Dancing with the Stars in 2019, and are expecting their first child in May 2023.

Hayley Erbert and Derek Hough

These two lovebirds became an item during season 21, which was Hayley's first year on the show. But they first met a year earlier when she toured with Derek and his sister. While they kept their relationship under wraps to begin with, Derek announced their engagement on Instagram in June 2022.

Those are all the pro couples who are married or engaged. But who can forget Sasha asking Emma to marry him live on the show? She said yes and they were married in 2018, but sadly split in 2022.
