It’s not just Mario and Karina who moved from dance partners to romantic partners. In a statement that isn’t necessarily a surprise if you saw the chemistry, it was announced that Dancing With The Stars’ Mark Ballas and Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan are indeed involved in a romantic relationship.

Byran acknowledges that people started talking about them as a couple weeks ago, she says they haven’t gone down that road – until now. “We’ve been so focused on the competition,” says Bryan. “But now that that has died down, we’ll see where it goes. We haven’t had a chance to do any of that [dating] or even talk about it. We didn’t even realize that people would think that about us until they started asking us. Because you get so close to someone, you get so comfortable, that you don’t even see it.”

But the dead giveaway may have been the moment when Bryan called Ballas “Baby” on the air when they said their thank-yous on the dance floor in front of millions. Bryan laughs. “I always call him ‘Baby Marky.’ I absolutely love and adore him.”

There is still a lot of outcry over the shock that they were eliminated last week.
