DWTS' Shannon Elizabeth & Derek Hough Heat Things Up!



Perhaps it’s the steamy performances or those long practice sessions in the studio, but it happens almost every season – a hot hookup forms off the dancefloor on Dancing with the Stars. This season’s possible show-mance: Shannon Elizabeth and her partner Derek Hough, who were photographed recently kissing in Malibu.

“They might have been auditioning for a new romantic comedy, like Friends with Benefits,” pro dancer Karina Smirnoff, who has weathered her share of romance rumors, joked to PEOPLE at the 2008 JCPenney Asian Excellence Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday. “They’re both hot, young single people, so why not?”

Fellow contestant Cristian de la Fuente agreed: “When you spend a lot of time with somebody and you have a good relationship, you want to extend that working relationship to the house.”

While Elizabeth and Hough continue to foxtrot around the nature of their relationship, insisting they’re just partners on the dancefloor, pro Mark Ballas, Hough’s roommate and bandmate, says of the pair: “He’s single. She’s single. Whatever. I think what’s great about their relationship is they’re really good friends and they get along really well. They have great chemistry.”

  • The kiss that was shared between Derek and Shannon was almost like how attraction is made and pronounced. Personally, I think that they make an extremely hot couple and if things go really well, they'll have gorgeous looking children!!

Shaanon Elizabeth and Derek were and still are my favorite couple on dwts and pesonally i think the only reason they went home was because everyone felt bad that christian or whatever got hurt so they sent probably one of the bet couple home .....thats my feelings on the subject

  • OK Derek - you've lost all credibility as an adult. Stop acting like a lovestruck teen and get back to being the professional dancer we all love to watch. Shannon, go find a closet to whine in, we're pretty sick of you.
