Love is in the ballroom this week on Dancing With the Stars.

During Tuesday night's results show, viewers were treated to a steamy performance from pro dancers Emma Slater and Sasha Farber.

But once the music stopped, the audience received a surprise very few saw coming.

"First of all, you guys have great chemistry," host Tom Bergeron shared. "And Sasha, I've always thought you had the potential to actually host so I'm going to give the show over to you."

With all eyes on Sasha, the dancer decided to put his hand in his pocket (hint hint) and deliver a few thoughtful words.

"Baby, I've wanted to do this for such a long time. I love you so, so much," he professed to Emma. "Will you marry me?"

As you likely could have guessed, the answer was an absolute yes!

Confetti came down from the ceiling as the entire Dancing With the Stars cast came out to congratulate the pair. As an added bonus,  "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars began playing in the background. Nice touch, Dancing.

Shortly after the live proposal, many in the show's family went to social media to express their congratulations for the couple's new relationship status. 

"OMG! Congratulations to @SashaFarber & @EmmaSlaterDance!!!" judge Carrie Ann Inaba shared on Twitter. Sasha's former DWTS partner Nicole"Snooki" Polizzi added, "OMG IM BAWLING. So happy for my beautiful friends! I LOVE YOU GUYS! @SashaFarber @EmmaSlaterDance."

"It was so magical! Everyone in the audience was teary eyed," an eyewitness told E! News. "The whole cast and judges all ran over to hug and congratulate them."

Dancing With the Stars airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. only on ABC.
