Love is in the air for Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
"Dancing with the Stars" professional Val Chmerkovskiy spoke to Us Weekly on Tuesday about his brother's rumored affair with the 27-year-old ice staking Olympian.
Davis and Chmerkovskiy sparked romance rumors following their passionate, chemistry-fueled performances throughout the 10-week dancing competition. The pair has reportedly been caught kissing on several occasions.
"She was good for him, but I feel it wouldn't do their love justice," Val told Us Weekly. "One make out session in the middle of the dance or to label it that they are a couple - it sounds great, but that's not what it is. He loves her probably more than I've seen him love another woman. He loves and adores her, but it's like a King Kong type of relationship."
Maksim has admitted to having a bit of a crush on his gorgeous dancing partner. After preforming a seductive freestyle for Monday finale episode, fans including judge Carrie Ann Inaba, were convinced the two should get married. The two were crowned champions of season 18 "Dancing with the Stars," and even shared a kiss after being named the winners.
"She's precious," Val explained. "He's gentle with her because he wants to see her shine and he won't want to hurt her. He's willing to calm down for her because she's the last person he wants to see cry and the last person he wants to hurt."
Val concluded: "He definitely loves her, and I know she loves him back. We as a family love her, too. We love Meryl, but I don't know if they were meant for each other or just meant to be in each other's lives for this moment, or for many moments, definitely, as it's a friendship they'll keep for a very long time."
When questioned separately by producers about whether they're dating, Davis laughed off the comment, saying, "Our relationship is really unique because he incorporates so much passion into what he does."
"I want to ravage her and have ice-skating, big Russian, mean babies. We're going to call them Boris and Oleg," Maksim answered. "Their nicknames are going to be 'Bear' - both. There's just going to be one nickname for both. 'Hey Bear!' Whichever one comes first will be it."
