Is Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro winner Adele Zaikman dating her fellow contestant Allen Genkin? A new report from Us Weekly says yes, although Zaikman herself has denied that the two are an item.
Are The Next Pro‘s Adele Zaikman, Allen Genkin Dating?
Adele Zaikman and Allen Genkin both recently competed on DWTS: The Next Pro, which sought to find a new pro dancer for Season 35 of the show. Zaikman ended up winning the show, while Genkin finished in fourth place. During the season, the pair danced together a few times.
A source told Us Weekly that Zaikman and Genkin are dating. The chemistry is certainly there, as shown in their dances. The pair even recently taught a class together in Los Angeles, and Genkin posted a sexy routine between the two of them on his Instagram earlier this week.
Even pro Emma Slater commented on the clip, “Y’all together?” In a recent podcast appearance, Genkin called Zaikman a “beautiful person inside and out,” adding, “I love working with her, man. She’s the best.”
As for Zaikman, she recently told podcast host Carrie Berk that she and Genkin “get so many messages every single day of people shipping us,” adding, “But I get it.” She confirmed that they’re both single and promised, “I will let you know if something happens.”
While Adele Zaikman and Allen Genkin haven’t confirmed that they’re dating, two other contestants from DWTS: The Next Pro have already gone public with their relationship. Briar Nolet and Erik Linder confirmed that they started dating after meeting on the show.
According to Nolet, Linder had contacted her on social media before filming began. Unfortunately, they didn’t have much time to get to know each other in person during production in Australia. Nolet was eliminated in the first episode of the season, with Linder going home several episodes later.
“And then it was one of those things when, after I left, I was like, ‘OK, let’s go to L.A. and let’s see Briar, and I’ll go see how it is,'” Linder said. “And I went, we met up, I visited L.A., and then we clicked really, really fast. And next thing you know, we progressed, and now we are where we are!”
