It seems like Ukrainian men are gaining popularity and can steal the spotlight from Ukrainian women soon. Even sexy singer Jennifer Lopez turned her pretty head towards Ukrainian 34-year old dancer Maksym Chmerkovskiy. There are persistent rumors that the two are a couple now.
A Dancing With The Stars champion Chmerkovskiy was born in Ukraine’s Odessa and moved to U.S. with his family in 1994. Chmerkovskiy is a Latin Dance World
Champion, a regular participant and a winner of American Dancing With The Stars show, and a choreographer. He owns four dance studios in New York.
In 2011 he took part in the Ukrainian TV show “The Bachelor,” where he was supposed to be mated, but apparently
preferred the American actress and singer to all those Ukrainian beauties.
And it’s hard to blame them, we should say.
There is still little proof of the romance, except
for a blurry photo of Lopez and Chmerkovskiy standing very close to each other in a
nightclub in Connecticut after one of Lopez’s shows.
Even though the two look like they are just staring in one phone, the “secret sources” present at the club told People magazine that
they did flirt!
“They were flirting. They were
dancing very close. I don’t know if they kissed. They had a lot of fun together,” U.S. People magazine writes, quoting an anonymous source.
Lopez and Chmerkovskiy have denied the rumors several times.
Lopez, 44, ensured she is not ready for a new relationship
after a recent breakup with her boyfriend dancer Casper
Smart.
“Listen, I’m good right now. Let’s just
say we just got out of a relationship, there needs to be time for reflection
and alone time. So, for sure, that’s where I’m at right now,” Lopez said
with a laugh in one of her interviews.
But American tabloids are not
giving up.
“Maxym (Chmerkovskiy) didn’t
really clear the air,” People writes.
The dancer neither denied nor confirmed
the information about his romance with Lopez. Instead, he said he didn’t really want anyone
to nose around in his private life.
Chmerkovskiy has reportedly dated U.S. model Kate Upton and his
Dancing With The Stars partner, Olympic gold medalist Meryl Davis.
“Those are big names. I’m
flattered. What would you like me to say? I am not dating J. Lo, Maryl and Kate.
Maybe I am dating all three, who knows… But my personal life won’t be anybody’s
business,” he said.
Well, we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for this Ukrainian Casanova. Go Chmerkovskiy!
