'DWTS' Spoilers Dating Rumors Derek Hough, Nastia Luikin Following in Val Chmerkovskiy & Rumer Willis Footsteps?

Dancing With the Stars is really heating up this season, both on and off the dance floor. While Kym Johnson and her partner, Robert Herjavec, as well as Rumer Willis and Val Chmerkovskiy, have started heating up the ballroom with rumors that they're dating, could it possible be another couple that is about to steal their spotlight? Well it certainly doesn't look that way for the frontrunners, Derek Hough and Nastia Liukin, who look prized to take home the 10^th anniversary gold mirror ball trophy. While the partners have been on fire this season, their relationship doesn't seem to be anything more than friendly when they head off-screen.

While the blond beauties would make one of the cutest couples, Liukin broke all the Derek and Nastia 'shipper's hearts when she revealed that she is actually in a relationship with a guy in Boston.

The starlet opened up to E! News, where she revealed that nothing is going on between her and Derek because she is already in a relationship.

"I'm actually in a long-distance relationship, so he lives in Boston and he comes out to L.A. every few weeks when he can," the gymnastics darling told the news site.

So how does the star make time for romance in her busy schedule? Well it happens to come from advice that her dad gave her when she was younger.

"Something my dad actually taught me when I was 15 or 16 was you'll make time for whatever and whomever is important to you," the star explained. "Even before I met him I was like, 'There's absolutely no way, I have no time to date!' But I think when you find someone you love, you make time for them."

She Knows is also reporting that the rumors surround the dance partners are just that... rumors.

Dancing With the Stars airs on Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC.
