Jenna Dewan’s Fiance Shuts Down Claims ‘DWTS’ Pro Val Chmerkovskiy Is Inappropriately Close With Her
Steve Kazee defended fiancee Jenna Dewan after fans speculated about her chemistry with Dancing With the Stars partner Val Chmerkovskiy. Kazee told critics to "make up your minds" and "put some respect" on her name.
Following the "Mariah Carey Night" episode on Tuesday, October 6, a blogger shared a clip on Instagram suggesting Dewan was "a bit too touchy" with Chmerkovskiy. The pair earned 24 out of 30 points for their rumba.
Dewan and Kazee have been together since 2018, while Chmerkovskiy has been married to fellow pro Jenna Johnson since 2019. Both couples share children, establishing their long-term relationships.
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba defended the pair, writing that "dancers are physical beings. This is like the way we say hello." She asked fans to have respect for both parties.
The couple will return for Dancing With the Stars week five airing Tuesday night. Dewan previously noted she underestimated the emotional and mental toll of training alongside the physical demands.
