'Dancing With The Stars' is so full of controversy this season, not only on the dance floor but also off-cam and outside the studio. First, there are rumors that DWTS season 18 champs Meryl Davis and Maks Chmerkovskiy are secretly dating as proven by their impeccable chemistry on the show. However, now that Davis and Chmerkovskiy have already denied the dating rumors between them, more speculations involving them separately have surfaced.
For Meryl Davis, there are rumors claiming that she is still in a relationship with her alleged ex-boyfriend Fedor Andreev. Meanwhile, for Maksim Chmerkovskiy, DWTS' bad boy on the dance floor, though he has revealed that he is not seeing anyone right now, unnamed sources claim that his ex and also one of DWTS professional dancers, Peta Murgatroyd, is doing everything to win back his affection.
Peta Murgatroyd is also being romantically linked to her much younger DWTS season 8 partner, James Maslow. Nevertheless, sources have come forward, claiming that Murgatoryd is just using the 'Big Time Rush' band member and actor to make Maks jealous.
Murgatroyd is reportedly pining for her former flame and is not at all serious with the idea of dating the Nick heartthrob. "Peta has wanted Maksim back ever since they broke up," a source recently told Radar Online, adding that "she's not over him."
"Peta tells everyone she still has feelings for Maksim. Everyone on the set of Dancing with the Stars knows about Peta's feelings for Maksim and she does nothing to hide them. The whole cast knows she wants him back. She tells everyone, not just Val," a source dished.
It can be noted that the 34-year-old Ukrainian dancer shared a romantic relationship with the 27-year-old professional dancer for almost 10 months before the two of them called it quits last February.
"Ever since the breakup, she has never gotten over him and tells everyone she wants him. She would do anything to get him back," the source added.
Now, as for Murgatroyd's perfect "win back my boyfriend" plan, she is reportedly using the publicity she and Maslow are getting lately to make Maks jealous. "The relationship with James is fake," an insider said, according to Showbizspy. "She is just using... James to make Maksim jealous."
If that one fails, Murgatroyd has long put a back-up plan in the works. The same site noted that Peta is doing everything to win back Maks' heart such that she is also using his brother, Val Chmerkovskiy.
Sources said Murgatroyd have been getting close with Val since her breakup with the older Chmerkovskiy sibling. "She has gotten very close with Val and has really become Val's best friend in an effort to win Maksim back," another source revealed. "She goes out with Val. She hangs out with him in the hopes that her friendship with Val will help her reconnect with Maksim."
However, the insider gushed that Val may be enjoying Peta's company, but this does not mean that Val is willing to help her out. "Val likes Peta as a friend, but he doesn't want to get involved," the insider said.
Unfortunately, it seems that whatever Peta Murgatroyd does, Maks will not be coming back for her. Sources said that the newly hailed DWTS champ has moved on from all of his previous relationships including Kate Upton. "He's not into her anymore. Maksim has moved on to other women, including Kate Upton. Even though he's no longer with Kate, he has moved on."
"He's currently single and just focusing on the show. Maksim has also been traveling this season because [his partner this season] Meryl Davis and [her ice-skating partner] Charlie White have been appearing in the Skating with the Stars tour," the same source said.
