Aside from the intricate choreography and Mad Libs vibe the star-studded cast brings every season on Dancing With the Stars, the beloved reality competition show has also been the catalyst for flirtatious flings and endgame romances. Case in point: pro dancers Jenna Johnson (who’s paired up with Harry Shum Jr. this season) and Val Chmerkovskiy (who’s dancing with Jenna Dewan) met over a decade ago while working on the show and have since tied the knot, welcomed a baby boy, and brought home five Mirrorball Trophies between them.
Amid all the drama they’ve started with judge Carrie Ann Inaba, now seems like a fabulous time to scroll through the pair’s somewhat chaotic love story. If you’re a DWTS stan or simply love love, find Jenna and Val’s full relationship timeline ahead.

The pair officially met when Jenna became a troupe member on Dancing With the Stars...
...and they performed together for Sway: A Dance Trilogy in New York later that same year.
