Ahhhhh!! OMG. According to a new report from In Touch Weekly, Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy are dating and in love. I repeat -- a source says Kelly and Val are officially a couple. Yep, supposedly she finally dumped her boyfriend, Heath Freeman, and now she and Val can live happily ever after and make those of us who have been obsessed with their relationship rooting for them all along incredibly happy and satisfied.
Ok, so I know this is only a rumor, and it came out of In Touch, of all publications, but still. Let's just bask in the idea of Val and Kelly being madly in love with each other for a few minutes before we go ahead and call this story nothing but another juicy piece of Hollywood gossip that may or may not be true.
I don't know what it is about Kelly and Val, but there are plenty of fans who are so captivated by whatever happens to be going on between them. We (yes, we -- I'm all caught up in the hype too) can't even imagine the idea of them not being a couple.
Call it a once-in-a-lifetime friendship. Call it two people who are so drawn to each other, their connection is almost magnetic. Or call it soul mates finding each other in the most unlikely place. Whatever Kelly and Val have is so unique and special, it gives the rest of us hope that maybe, just maybe, we can find a love like that too.
And it's weird, because you'd expect most people to be insanely jealous of their bond -- yet we're not. Fans are genuinely happy for them, and I know I'm not alone in saying that they really deserve each other -- in the best possible way.
Of course, maybe we've been reading way too much into their relationship ever since it started, and the In Touch report is totally bogus. On January 31, Kelly tweeted, "Don't believe everything you read! #trashmags"
Was she referring to the In Touch report? Who knows -- but for the sake of all of her fans, let's hope not.
What do you think is really going on between Kelly and Val?

I don't know why I read this, I didn't care for them on DWTS and the next time I care about their personal lives will be the first time. I just don't get it, they are fake, they are dramatic, they are beyond narcissistic, and it doesn't affect my life ( or many others) so I don't understand the interest, but again the people who are so interested in them are also in the group that believe the Bacherlor is real, and Santa, and professional wrestling, the Easter Bunny, Jersey Shore is real, and so on.........
Jennifer, calm down a little, you seem way more interested in them than most people, good for you, glad it gives you joy, still doesn't make it "real" just because it makes you feel better.
Thanks Mary for the update. I AM obsessed and proud of it. Call me a hopeless romantic I don't care. And yes, the thought of them not being a couple would be crushing. In a world full of bad news every day, they have a way of taking me to a happy place. I'm pretty sure they are an item. I recently saw pictures of them (1/22/13) arriving at LAX together after spending a long weekend together in NJ/NYC. Former DWTS partners who are "just friends" don't travel with each other after the season is over. I just can't figure out why they are playing so coy. Keep us posted Mary!
