The Dancing Cast Weighs In on Shannon & Derek’s Smooch

It wouldn’t be the first time two partners on "Dancing With the Stars" found chemistry both on and off the dance floor and I would bet it won't be the last. Who’s the latest rumored couple? None other than Shannon Elizabeth and her adorable, hot headed partner, Derek Hough. Dotspotter star community member, hcarroll, has the details…

 

Perhaps it’s the steamy performances or those long practice sessions in the studio, but it happens almost every season – a hot hookup forms off the dancefloor on Dancing with the Stars. This season’s possible show-mance: Shannon Elizabeth and her partner Derek Hough, who were photographed recently kissing in Malibu.

 

“They might have been auditioning for a new romantic comedy, like Friends with Benefits,” pro dancer Karina Smirnoff, who has weathered her share of romance rumors, joked to PEOPLE at the 2008 JCPenney Asian Excellence Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday. “They’re both hot, young single people, so why not?”

 

Fellow contestant Cristian de la Fuente agreed: “When you spend a lot of time with somebody and you have a good relationship, you want to extend that working relationship to the house.”

 

While Elizabeth and Hough continue to foxtrot around the nature of their relationship, insisting they’re just partners on the dancefloor, pro Mark Ballas, Hough’s roommate and bandmate, says of the pair: “He’s single. She’s single. Whatever. I think what’s great about their relationship is they’re really good friends and they get along really well. They have great chemistry.”

  • The kiss that was shared between Derek and Shannon was almost like how attraction is made and pronounced. Personally, I think that they make an extremely hot couple and if things go really well, they'll have gorgeous looking children!!
