Dancing With The Stars Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Meryl Davis Dating: "Dancing With the Stars" Season 18 champions Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy attended the premiere episode of DWTS season 19 together.

All during season 18, the chemistry between Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy was palpable on the dance floor. The tension hit its boiling point when Maks admitted that he's wanted to "ravage" Meryl and have Russian babies with her. But the pair were together to support Chmerkovskiy's brother Val who is dancing with Janel Parrish for season 19.

Rumors that Meryl Davis and her alleged boyfriend Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Dancing with the Stars heated up again after Maks and Meryl paired up for the Dancing With the Stars season 19 premiere.

People magazine reported that last week Chmerkovskiy attended the Alfalit International Global Literacy Dinner in Miami, donating private dance lessons. The 34-year-old dancer talked about his relationship with mirrorball trophy winning partner Meryl Davis.

"I am more than dancing," Maks told People. "I was a dancing pro on the show for about a decade, and I needed the trophy to show for it. But Meryl was part of that."

"I am a hopeless romantic who falls in lust and gets in trouble," he continued. "I love my work and am very productive, yet I always find time to play."

Chmerkovskiy is studying to become an actor and expanding his Dance With Me Dance Studios. Maks opened his sixth location in Los Angeles recently. He also plans 25 more. The dancer is also designing his own MAKSIM line of jewelry.

But the Dancing With The Stars dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy brought a new date, Alina Kavall, to the Alifat International, Inc.'s Annual Global Literacy Dinner in Miami.

Maksim has also been rumored to be dating American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez until those rumors were replaced by reports that Chmerkovskiy is dating ex-girlfriend and current costar, Karina Smirnoff, again.
