Ezra Sosa deserves a gold medal for this performance.
Just a month after finishing third on season 34 of Dancing With the Stars, pro dancer and Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles playfully responded to gossip about whether they’re dating.
In a TikTok video posted on December 28th, Ezra – who shared he is gay in June 2022 – showed an online article suggesting he and someone else were secretly engaged. He then playfully appeared on camera, smiled, put on sunglasses, and blew a kiss to viewers.
In the caption, the 25-year-old simply wrote, “Plot twist of the mf century.”
Ezra enjoyed playfully correcting inaccurate information, but he became more serious when defending Jordan during her season of Dancing With the Stars. He strongly denied rumors that she was unkind, stating they were completely untrue.
I’ve been following Jordan and me for a while now, and honestly, it feels like we’re just a brother and sister. That’s how he described our relationship in a video he posted on Instagram last October, and I couldn’t agree more!
Ezra clarified a misunderstanding after viewers misinterpreted a lighthearted exchange during the live show, where Jordan playfully asked him to put her down after he lifted her up.
It really hurts to hear that, because that doesn’t reflect my experience with her at all. She’s an amazing person, and I’m incredibly grateful she’s in my life. We allow each other to be ourselves, and while our relationship might not appeal to everyone, I cherish it, and we’re navigating life together in a way that feels truly special.
Ezra added, “And I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure that it is reflected as such.”
Jordan also talked about her relationship with Ezra, assuring fans that everything was good between them at the time.
She shared on Instagram that they have a great connection, joking and laughing a lot online. She then asked fans to continue voting, saying she didn’t want their support to drop because of rumors or misunderstandings.
Jordan shared that they joined the show hoping to have fun and start a fresh, exciting part of their life. They expressed gratitude to everyone who supported them, saying, “I appreciate you all, and I love you guys!”
Ezra and Jordan became friends on season 34 of Dancing With the Stars, but they aren’t the only couple to find a connection on the show. Here are some other love stories that blossomed off the dance floor.
The season 33 partners dated for about seven months between 2024 and spring 2025.
Showmance or Real Deal: Real deal.
Oh my gosh, you guys, I was there! It finally happened! In April 2025, during the very last dance of the DWTS tour, they kissed! A real kiss, on the lips, right there on stage! Everyone’s been talking about them for months, all the rumors… and it was totally real. It was the perfect ending to the show, and honestly, the perfect moment ever. I nearly lost it!
Are they a couple for show or are they genuinely in love? It seems like the real thing! Their coworker, Ezra Sosa, even commented “FINALLY” on a fan video of them kissing, suggesting he’s been waiting for them to get together.
Fans started speculating about a possible romance between the former Bachelorette and the Jersey Shore star when they competed on season 31 of a show together. Their playful interactions on social media and vague answers to questions about their relationship fueled the rumors.
Gabby shared with TopMob News in December 2022 that she quickly became friends with her fellow contestants on Dancing with the Stars. She said they had a similar sense of humor and connected easily. During the competition, Gabby was very focused on winning and didn’t have much time for anything else. Now that the show is over, despite living in different states, they’re enjoying getting to know each other and are looking forward to continuing their friendship.
Despite initial speculation, Gabby and her Bachelor co-star never became a couple. She later began dating comedian and writer Robby Hoffman in August 2023, and they got married in January 2025.
After finishing fifth on season 31 of the dance competition, the pair publicly confirmed they were dating on Valentine’s Day 2023. The actor, known for their role in CODA, shared a selfie with the choreographer and wrote, “My Valentine. Happy Valentine’s Day!”

Emma and Hayes Grier connected during the “Switch Up” week of season 21, and Alek even told her she was attractive. However, after Emma was eliminated from the show, she revealed that they hadn’t actually gone on a date yet, simply saying, “We’ll see what happens.”
Is Alek’s interest in Emma genuine, or just for show? Alek gets flustered and avoids talking about his feelings, simply saying “no comment” to TopMob News, which suggests he really did have a crush. However, Emma quickly moved on after her relationship with Skarlatos in 2015, implying that even if there was something there, it wasn’t a serious connection.
The professional dancer and former contestant on The Bachelorette sparked romance while competing on season 33 of Dancing with the Stars in 2024. But their connection faded quickly, around June 2025, after Jenn went back to Miami to complete her graduate studies.

These two began dating on and off in 2011. They got engaged on the show in October 2016 and married in March 2018. Unfortunately, TopMob News reported in August 2022 that Slater and Farber were divorcing after four years of marriage.
Were they a ‘showmance’ or genuinely in love? Regardless, they remained close friends and continued to work together respectfully even after breaking up.
It’s definitely not a bad situation,” Emma shared with TopMob News. “We’re a really supportive team, and I genuinely want Sasha to succeed. We truly have each other’s backs.”
Val and Jenna began dating in 2015, before Jenna became a professional dancer. They got engaged in June 2018 and married in April 2019. In July 2022, they shared the exciting news that they were expecting a baby. They welcomed their son, Rome Valentin, in January 2023.
Val shared with TopMob News in May 2023 that life is great. He explained that becoming a father has brought him even more happiness, both in general and with his family, and he’s constantly learning from the experience.

The WWE Hall of Famer discovered she was pregnant shortly after getting engaged in Paris, and in 2020, she and her partner welcomed their son, Matteo Artemovich Chigvintsev.
