11 october 2026 в 15:13
Jenna Dewan’s fiancé, Steve Kazee, had to defend the actress after fans suspected her of being too close with her «Dancing with the Stars» partner, Val Chmerkovskiy. In the comments on Instagram, Kazee joked: «They have no chemistry. They have too much chemistry. Their chemistry is in the wrong places. Make up your minds already».
Speculation among fans arose because Dewan and Chmerkovskiy, both in long-term relationships, allegedly displayed inappropriate closeness on the dance floor. Dewan and Kazee have been engaged since 2020, while Chmerkovskiy is married to his fellow show dancer Jenna Johnson, who is dancing with Harry Shum Jr. this season.
Kazee also urged people to respect his fiancée's name and pronounce it correctly when criticizing her. Dewan and Chmerkovskiy have been steadily improving their scores in each episode of «Dancing with the Stars». In the first episode, they received 19 points for their tango, and during the Mariah Carey night, their score increased to 24.
Last week, Kazee praised how Dewan handles the pressure of the show and potential criticism. He noted that she is fully committed to the experience and expressed pride in her hard work and dedication. Dewan, for her part, shared with Us about the physical and emotional challenges of training for the show, noting that the process has been more difficult than she expected, but still «good difficult».
«Dancing with the Stars» airs on ABC and Disney+ on Tuesdays at 8 PM Eastern Time.
