ABCMischa Barton may have seen an early departure from Dancing With the Stars, but that doesn't mean the actress has cut all ties with the show.
She's remained close with her partner Artem Chigvintsev, hanging out quite a bit together and even posting photos of their outings Snapchat—so much so, reports began circulating that the two might be dating.
However, a rep for Artem denies the rumors. "All of these reports are false. Mischa and Artem are not dating," the rep tells E! News. "The experience of Dancing with the Stars has a tendency to really bond partners and pros. They have remained friends since the show."
Though they aren't dating, the two are definitely close, which is interesting following their rocky start as a pair on DWTS.
"I think we're the only couple in the competition who had first tough two weeks and then you're kind of gasping for the air of the change," Artem told E! News in early April.
Mischa also admitted to feeling a little overwhelmed in the beginning by the intense rehearsals. "I came straight out of a film, came into this, thought I was going to get this dance training," she said, "and it's been a fun experience and I've learned a lot from Artem."
Sadly, just as they were starting to find their rhythm, the pair was eliminated. "We did our best and that's what it is," Artem told us.
