DWTS’ Daniella Karagach Shuts Down Rumors She Snubbed Dylan Efron

Daniella Karagach doesn’t want fans to get their knickers in a twist.

A professional dancer from Dancing With the Stars recently addressed rumors that she ignored her partner, Dylan Efron. A video from the November 18th episode showed Dylan trying to hug Daniella during a break, and she appeared to walk past him without responding, sparking speculation online.

I was totally shocked watching this TikTok! The creator asked the same thing I was thinking: was Daniella deliberately ignoring something, or did she genuinely not notice what happened? It was a wild moment!

Although some viewers thought the dancer was deliberately trying to upset Dylan, she explained there was a much simpler reason for what happened.

Daniella jokingly commented on the video, writing, ‘Definitely not catching me while I’m fixing my wedgie!’ She added that it was ‘So embarrassing,’ along with laughing emojis.

Aside from a funny incident during rehearsal where Daniella accidentally broke Dylan’s nose, the two have always worked incredibly well together. Their partnership was so strong, in fact, that they reached the finale of season 34 of Dancing With the Stars.

The team celebrated finishing the episode, which was based on the music of Prince, after they finished filming.

Okay, let me tell you, witnessing Dylan and Daniella reach the finale was such a sweet moment! In a TikTok Daniella shared, you can see the pure joy on their faces – Dylan saying ‘We made it!’ with a huge smile as Daniella jumps for joy in the background. It really felt like they’d achieved everything they hoped for, experiencing the competition to the fullest. It was just a really lovely, celebratory moment that I think a lot of us can relate to – that feeling of finally reaching a big goal!

Oh my gosh, you guys, Daniella was SO cute! She and Pasha – seriously, Pasha Pashkov is amazing – were just over the moon! She basically screamed, “We freaking did it!” and then told all of us, her fans, that it was all because of us! She said we’re the freaking best and thanked us for sticking with them. I’m seriously tearing up, I’m SO proud of them!

Daniella shared that she and Dylan are thrilled to perform a freestyle in the finale, and they’re celebrating with a treat: six double cheeseburgers!

“Both our stomachs have been rumbling,” Dylan said, while Daniella added, “It’s a party.”

This couple is among the five finalists heading to the season 34 finale. They’ll be competing against Robert Irwin and Witney Carson, Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa, Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten, and Alix Earle and Val Chmerkovskiy.

As a huge fan of this season’s Dancing With the Stars, I’ve been loving watching all the couples! If you want to relive their journeys and see how everyone did, keep reading for a look back at all of them.
