Davis and Chmerkovskiy won Dancing With the Stars in the spring, with their sizzling chemistry being rumored to travel outside the show as well. While neither Davis nor Chmerkovskiy have really commented on dating rumors, the rumors continue as Davis joins him and many other dancers in SWAY: A Dance Trilogy.
The special show features Chmerkovskiy and fellow DWTS pros Tony Dovolani and Val Chmerkovskiy. Davis will be joining for two shows.
"I love Meryl," Chmerkovskiy said in a new interview with OK! Magazine. "We're great together. She's an awesome friend. She said, 'I'm doing it, 100 percent.' And here we are. She's an amazing chick and I love her for that."
Asked about rumors regarding the pair possibly dating, Maks admitted that he really didn't care.
"If people want to think something, they're going to think that," he explained. "It's not something I'm going to waste my time on. I think honestly we give a lot of people something with our partnership - the way it was, and the chemistry that we had, and how passionate it was in our performances week in and week out. That overwhelming feeling people were getting while watching us like, 'No, I have to attribute it to that. There's no other way that this can come out this way.' And so, there's nothing that we can say."
Dancing With the Stars returns for its landmark 20th season on ABC in March, though the network has not yet announced a specific premiere date.
