it’s been no great secret that American Hero and Legion of Honor Recipient, Alek Skarlatos, has been head-over-heels smitten by his then Professional partner, Emma Slater.

No, really, Emma actually smote poor Alek smack dab on his beak with her elbow during their Rumba Dress Rehearsals!

“I really wanted to make my mark,” Slater has since quipped of the accident while Skarlatos, who wound up placing in an amazing Third Place overall at the conclusion of the competitive Season, doesn’t seem to mind a bit!

“I think that’s the most fun week I’ve had on the show yet.” He later observed of being temporarily partnered with Emma.

The going gossip is, of course, that these two have been crazy-mad for each other since their first Rehearsal; and ‘tis little wonder, what with Alek having been visibly beaming whenever Emma was around on the show and often making enamored remarks concerning the Pro Dancer’s physical beauty.

It probably didn’t help matters either, that the Couple publicly agreed to a Date, following their Week 05 performance!

“From the first day of rehearsal, we were really comfortable with each other” Emma dished, according to people.com, concerning the Duo’s passionate display on the Ballroom Dance Floor. “Some people just have that energy that you can have a laugh with straight away and just do normal stuff with.”

Much to the dismay of hopeful Fans everywhere, however, the promised “Date” has yet to take place; but, never ones to let an always thrilling Seasonal “Showmance” die quietly, the show’s undaunted viewers have since duly credited this unfortunate fairytale hiccup as being the result of a strenuous work schedule that no doubt reigns during the beloved program’s highly competitive atmosphere each and every Season.

Still, certain romantic outings have been hinted at when, upon being asked, the closely-watched pair described their ideal date to People, “I’ve got a truck and there are some mountains in Oregon,” began Skarlatos, who is a native of the Western State, “So we can go straight up into the mountains in the truck and look at the stars.”  Slater immediately agreed to the starlit suggestion with but one condition: There had to be some “Greek food” present, as well!

But alas! Such movie-quality Dates, or even a simple cup of coffee, have not been sighted by the Couple’s eagerly awaiting Fan-base, though with recent updates on the Alek and Emma’s upcoming, cross-country tour together, excited hopes remain supreme for the Duo’s apparently fabulous future together.

That’s right, dwtslovers, Season 21’s primly painted, romanticized vision of the “Hero and the Dancer” has been made complete, as the two presumed lovebirds are set to Tour America together as part of DWTS’ newest live tour production, Dancing With The Stars: Live! - Dance All Night Tour, set to premiere on Dec. 15th, 2015.

And hey, who knows?! Maybe their time spent on the road together will give the hard working pair a chance to work out some more of those Dating Details so that we the Fans will finally get a chance to see these two step out together!
