Watch: Rumer and Val Are "Dancing With the Stars" Champs!

Winning Dancing With the Stars was just icing on the cake for Rumer Willis and her professional partner Val Chmerkovskiy. The dynamic duo took home the mirror ball trophy last night, beating out Riker Lynch and his partner Allison Holker, and Noah Galloway and Sharna Burgess, but that trophy isn't the only thing they're taking away from the competition.

"I feel like I've become a completely different person through this whole experience. I feel like through this whole journey that Val and I really changed each other and grown a lot," Rumer told E! News after her big triumph on the dance floor. "I just feel so grateful to have had this experience and so grateful to him and to be standing here right now."

This was Val's first win. He previously came in second with Zendaya in season 16 and third twice, once with Kelly Monaco and once with Janel Parrish.

"It means the world. It's so good...this experience has probably been one of the best experiences of my life, professionally and personally," Val said.
