Irwin won this season of Dancing With the Stars with Hough, with their electrifying chemistry and passion for dance winning the hearts of millions of voters across America. But as is custom with almost every season of Dancing With the Stars, the dating rumors have begun.
The 17-year-old wildlife conservationist is currently dating wakeboarder Chandler Powell, and their relationship is reportedly still strong. A spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia recently that Irwin is not dating Hough, 30, despite rumors.

"It's completely untrue. Chandler is still Bindi's boyfriend and Derek is very much a friend who left Australia last week to head home after spending a couple of days checking out Australia Zoo," the spokesperson said.
Regardless of the rumors, Irwin did recently admit that she misses being with Hough in Dancing With the Stars, which ended on Nov. 24.
"I miss you the most," Irwin told Hough in an Entertainment Tonight interview. "It was a long time and then all of a sudden you get home and you're like, 'My big brother isn't here anymore.' It was really quite strange for sure."
Meanwhile, Hough doesn't know if he's returning to Dancing With the Stars next season.
"I honestly don't know," Hough said, when asked about a return. "We're still trying to figure things out right now."
Dancing With the Stars returns for another season on Monday, March 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
