Watch: "DWTS" Star Derek Hough Responds to Love Life Rumors

Another season of Dancing With the Stars, another round of dating rumors!

It's no secret that many of the ABC reality hit's professionals and celebs have ended up in romantic relationships. And season 20 is no different as sources confirmed to us that Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson are definitely dating off the dance floor, but is another DWTS pair also dating?!

Sorry Derek and Nastia fans, but this duo is strictly just ballroom partners and friends!

"I'm actually in a long-distance relationship, so he lives in Boston and he comes out to L.A. every few weeks when he can," the Olympic gold medalist reveals to E! News' Alicia Quarles during a break from one of their rehearsal sessions.

And while it's not easy to make time for romance with her busy schedule, Nastia says a lesson from her father helped her learn how to prioritize her relationship. 

"Something my dad actually taught me when I was 15 or 16 was you'll make time for whatever and whoever is important to you," she says. "Even before I met him I was like, 'There's absolutely no way, I have no time to date!' But I think when you find someone you love, you make time for them."

As for Derek? 

"I think I was dating my assistant last week. We were pictured together!" Derek jokes of the constant dating rumors surrounding him. "I'm pretty much dating anyone I'm pictured with."

To hear more from the DWTS duo, including what fans can expect from their "sexy" Spring Break routine on Monday's show, watch the rest of our interview with them above now!

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