Emma Slater may not have won the mirrorball trophy this season, but she may have landed herself a boyfriend.

Since they were paired together during the Switch Up week, Dancing With the Stars' Emma and Alek Skarlatos, the Army veteran and Paris train hero, have had fans wondering: Are they or aren't they dating?! And now, we have an answer. Kind of. 

During Emma and her celeb partner Hayes Grier's exit interview on Good Morning America on Tuesday following their shocking elimination, the 26-year-old professional dancer was asked if she and Alek have yet to go on a date. Sorry, Emek (Emma + Alek) fans, but there's been no time for dinner and a movie.

"We didn't go on a date yet. We'll see," Emma said, before adding, "I should because I kind of broke his nose!" (Yep, she did actually break his nose!) Still, Emma said she and Alek, 23, are "great friends" and "still close."

And when asked who she'd like to see win the competition now that she and Hayes are out of the running, guess who Emma picked? That's right: Alek! I want to see Alek go all the way," she said. 

The chemistry between Alek and Emma was obvious to DWTS fans after they were paired together for the Switch Up, with Emma admitting she was hoping to get Alek as a partner. "From the start, I was like, 'I love this guy, he's great!'"

As for Alek, his feelings for Emma were pretty clear during their rehearsal footage, and he shyly answered, "No comment," when E! News asked if he had a crush on Emma. 

Looks like that broken nose could be worth it. 

DWTS airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
