Love is in the ballroom!

The Bachelor and The Bachelorette aren't the only ABC reality series that help people find love: Dancing With the Stars does, too! Though it's mostly a dancing competition, many of the celebs who have competed over the last 18 seasons have ended up falling for their professional partner. And some of the professional dancers have dated each other, too!

Ahead of tonight's premiere, we're looking back on some of the romances that were born in the ballroom. Plus, we're weighing in on whether or not the couplings were real or showmances in the name of earning more votes. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do in order to win that mirror-ball trophy! So take a look through our gallery below and see if you remember some of these DWTS romances!

Dancing With the Stars returns tonight at 8 p.m. on ABC.
