"You get to know the other celebrities on Dancing with the Stars," Gabby told E! News in December 2022. "So, we formed a friendship right away and I feel like our senses of humor are really similar. I was so tunnel vision during the competition. I was like, 'I'm here to win' and I didn't have room for anything else. So, we live in different states, but we are having fun. We'll see." Showmance or Real Deal: Forget GTL, this one was DOA. The pair never ended up officially dating and Gabby debuted her romance with comedian and TV writer Robby Hoffman in August 2023. The pair wed in January 2025. InstagramBritt Stewart & Daniel DurantMonths after placing fifth in the 31st season of the dance show, the couple confirmed their romance on Valentine's Day 2023. "My Valentine," the CODA actor captioned a selfie with the choreographer. "Happy Valentine's Day!" Britt and Daniel then announced their engagement in December 2023 and married in front of a trouple of DWTS pros in August 2025. Showmance or Real Deal: Real deal.

After her elimination, Emma spilled that she and Alek had yet to go on a date, saying, "We'll see." Showmance or Real Deal: Given Alek's tendency to blush and avoid answering questions about his feelings for Emma, telling E! News "no comment!" we think this crush was very real. But Emma danced herself off the market following Skarlatos' 2015 run, so if it was real, it wasn't that real.
