Romance Rumor… Chad and Cheryl?!
They play coy on the show, but are Dancing With the Stars partners Cheryl Burke and Chad Ochocinco heating up off the dance floor?
On Friday’s Ellen DeGeneres show, the two tried to play off romance rumors.
When Ellen tells Chad she’s heard they’re an item, he playfully responds, “We are?”
Cheryl chimes in, “Really?”
“We’re not going to put labels on anything,” she later adds.
And although the two have yet to spend any romantic nights out, Chad says they did enjoy one fancy meal together, at “McDonald’s.”
But Cheryl says, “I don’t consider that a date.”
To attempt to set the record straight though, Ellen orders the two to kiss!
After giving Cheryl a kiss on the cheek, Chad admits, “I’ve been with her for seven weeks, for nine hours a day, every single day. I think I’ve spent more time then the average married couple with her.
“We fight and fuss,” he adds. “I’m like, this is what marriage must be like. So I remember the Beyonce song ‘Put a Ring On It,’ so that’s where the ring comes in,” referring to the giant rock Chad gave Cheryl in their second performance.
So what will he get Burke next? “I’m waiting for my Bentley next week,” she teases.
Adds Chad, “You should see the next gift. It goes on and on and on….”
Hmm, the chemistry on the show is pretty undeniable! There’s no doubt in our mind that while these two heat up on the dance floor, things are even steamier off it!
