Derek Hough ‘Besotted’ with Katherine Jenkins

Derek Hough is reportedly "besotted" with Katherine Jenkins.

The professional dancer has apparently fallen head over heels for his Dancing With The Stars co-star Katherine Jenkins. Having just broken up with fiancé Gethin Jones in December, the classical singer still isn't in the right place to start a new romance, much to Derek's disappointment.

"He loves how down-to-earth she is. He said she was over at his condo last week and didn't have a scrap of make-up on and drank a beer. She isn't ready for dating after her split with Gethin Jones, though it hasn't stopped him being completely besotted," a source told The Sun.

Katherine was also previously linked to her professional dancer partner Mark Ballas, but insisted the claims were unfounded: "It's inevitable but it's just complete nonsense. We have totally hit it off and we're having a great time. But he came to London to start training me and within - I think within 12 hours - is all it took before there was that first photo and immediately we were of course dating, which it's not true. He has a girlfriend and I'm not ready, I'm not ready for any of that yet. I'm just going to concentrate on the dancing."

DWTS Champ Dating Ousted American Idol Singer

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Hook-ups,

Mark Ballas is a fast mover…on and off the dance floor.

Earlier this week, the one-time Dancing with the Stars champ stepped out with the new woman in his wife: American Idol‘s Joanna Pacitti. Although most people only recently became aware of Pacitti (primarily because of her dismissal from the reality competition), it turns out she and Mark have “been friends for a long time.”

At the premiere of the new Jonas Brothers movie, the 22-year-old showered praise on his new girlfriend. “She is the most supportive person in my life and she’s been great,” Ballas stated. “We get to spend a lot of time together [and] we do pretty much everything together.”

Pacitti also spoke warmly about the 22-year-old dancer/singer. “We both get each other and understand schedules and even on a musical level, I’ve never met someone that’s so passionate about music…that’s what I live for so it’s amazing to be with someone who gets it.”

According to the couple, the two started dating eight months ago. For those trying to do the math, that would mean Mark had moved on approximately a month after he and Sabrina Bryan split.

DWTS’ Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas No Longer a Couple

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Break-ups, Rumors,

Just a week after rumors started circulating about Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff, we’re now learning of another Dancing with the Stars split.

Dancer Mark Ballas confirmed to Us Weekly that he and Sabrina Bryan are no longer a couple off the dance floor.  The two started dating last season when they were partnered for the show’s fifth season.

Although the former pair didn’t perform on last night’s results show (maybe things would have been a bit too awkward?), Ballas claims he is still friends with the Cheetah Girl.

So how about Mark’s roommate, Derek Hough?  Will he be able to drag out his relationship with Shannon Elizabeth for that much longer?  I think we’d have better odds of seeing Shannon actually produce some hip action.
