Chmerkovskiy, 32, and Johnson, 24, were first linked in 2015, according to reports, it seems that last year, their relationship got more serious -- or at least, more public. In the "Dancing With the Stars" Season 25 finale last November, the two shared a kiss live on television.

In recent years, several stars have found love on the popular reality show. Former pro Kym Johnson wed her one-time 'Dancing' partner, Robert Herjavec, in 2016; Chmerkovskiy's brother, Maks, married fellow 'Dancing' pro Peta Murgatroyd last summer; and just last month, pros Sasha Farber and Emma Slater said "I do."
