‘Dancing with the Stars’ Season 18 Romance: Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Meryl Davis Caught Kissing Backstage?

It's no doubt that Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have great chemistry on the dance floor, but are the two getting cozy behind the scenes too? According to a report by Life & Style magazine (via Hollywood Life), Davis, 27, and Chmerkovskiy, 34, were caught kissing backstage at "Dancing with the Stars."

"It's even more intense [off screen]," a source told Life & Style. "There were no cameras on them, but Maks was spotted kissing her and hugging her. They seem super close, and it is definitely not just for the cameras. Everyone on set has noticed their chemistry."

"They only talk with each other at the show and are really touchy and flirty," the source added. "He is always talking about her great body and has his hands all over her, even when the cameras are off."

The source went on to say that it's obvious that Chmerkovskiy and Davis have a bit of a sensual connection. That's not the only rumored romance on the show. It's been speculated that Big Time Rush singer James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd have a little sexual tension and might be dating in real-life.

On the premiere episode of the show, the 27-year-old dancer told cameras that she was shocked to find out that Maslow was her partner because the two had previously met in real-life. Murgatroyd said that she and Maslow had gone out to dinner and had really hit it off but he left for tour and she never heard from him again.

It was so evident that there was some type of attraction between them that new "DWTS" co-host Erin Andrews (awkwardly) asked them if they were a couple and even mentioned a "Dancing With the Stars" baby.

"It sounds like we have a little bit of talking to do," Andrews said. "Can I just say this? Can you tell us you're dating? I want a Dancing with the Stars baby."

"Oh my God," Murgatroyd responded, while Maslow said, "You can't have a baby while you're dancing, alright? So that's not gonna happen."

Do you think Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Meryl Davis are dating in real-life?
