Adele Zaikman and Allen Genkin were both contestants on DWTS: The Next Pro earlier this year, with Zaikman being named the winner and Genkin finishing in fourth place. They danced together a few times on the show, displaying a great chemistry.

In a podcast interview, Zaikman acknowledged that fans had been shipping her and Genkin but said they were both single. She added, “I will let you know if something happens.” Zaikman was true to her word, as the couple just went Instagram official this week.

In a joint post, Genkin wished Zaikman a happy birthday on Wednesday. Alongside several photos of the pair embracing, Genkin called Zaikman “the most beautiful queen,” adding, “I can honestly say the best thing that has happened to me from [DWTS: The Next Pro] was you.”

“I’m the happiest and luckiest man in the world. I adore you with all my heart!!!” Genkin wrote. “You are the best, and I believe the best things in life for you are only just beginning. Enjoy every moment baby, I love you.”

Zaikman’s DWTS Partner Knew About the Romance

Adele Zaikman’s Next Pro win meant she got to join the cast of DWTS Season 35 as a pro. She was paired with Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Conner Leavitt. Unfortunately, the pair was eliminated in the first week of the competition.

However, it looks like Leavitt was aware of Zaikman’s romance with Genkin. He commented on the couple’s hard launch, “so I don’t need to keep this a secret anymore? Hahaha.” The Next Pro finalist Selena Hamilton also commented, writing, “Secrets out thank goodness.”

Other DWTS cast members also hinted that they already knew about the couple, with pro Hailey Bills commenting, “IVE BEEN WAITING.” Emma Slater wrote, “Omg I’ve had no one to talk to about this UNTIL NOW!” Even the official DWTS account wrote, “Thank god we can finally talk about this.”
