Cheryl Burke and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are co-cast members of ABC's hit reality tv show Dancing with the Stars. Cheryl Burke has won two championships of DWTS Season 2 and 3, while Maksim Chmerkovskiy won none.
Earlier this year, the celebrity news outlets said Cheryl Burke was dating Scottish actor Gerard Butler, but the rumor was later denied by Burke herself, insisting they're just good neighbors.
"He actually lives in my apartment building, and we've been friends for a few months." the 24-year-old professional dancer said at the time.
These days Cheryl Burke again sparked the speculation that she maybe have an affair with a man. On June 8 at A Time For Heroes Celebrity Carnival in Los Angeles, a Disney-sponsored charity event which aimed to raise funds for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation, Cheryl Burke and Maksim Chmerkovskiy spotted arriving together. In Hollyscoop's words, the two were awfully close, which prompted the celebrity news site to speculate there could be romance budding between these two.
