Adele Zaikman and Allen Genkin both competed on Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro and have publicly flaunted their friendship since the show ended in August. Their close relationship has even gotten some fans speculating that things may be more than platonic between the two, and Zaikman finally addressed the rumors in an interview.
Zaikman opened up about reuniting with her Next Pro castmates for a number during the Dancing With the Stars premiere, and specifically admitted, “Dancing with Allen is just amazing. It’s the best feeling ever. So getting to do that on the premiere was a dream come true, for sure.”
This prompted host Carrie Berk to tell Zaikman, “You guys should date.” Zaikman blushed and replied, “You’re not the only one! We get so many messages every single day of people shipping us. But I get it.”

Zaikman confirmed that she and Genkin are both single, but hinted that nothing is going on between them at this time. “I will let you know if something happens,” she added. “I will let you know, guys.”
Still, that didn’t stop her from gushing about her friend. “We’re very close,” Zaikman continued. “I love Allen. He’s an amazing human being. Just being around him, you get good energy. He’s the best.”
Genkin finished in fourth place on The Next Pro, while Zaikman won the competition. She made her Dancing With the Stars pro debut during the Season 35 premiere with partner Conner Leavitt. Unfortunately, they were the first couple eliminated from the competition.
Meanwhile, Genkin is not the first person Zaikman has been romantically linked to since her time on The Next Pro. She performed a dance with Gleb Savchenko on the show, and after it aired, they began posting videos together on social media, which sparked dating rumors. But with Zaikman declaring herself single, it does not appear that there is any truth to the speculation.
