And that's why some Dancing with the Stars fans have been shipping the pair or gossiping about whether they're together.
Hannah's best friend was even shown asking Hannah on Monday night's episode whether she had any romantic feelings for Alan given they were rehearsing a passionate and lustful rumba.
But Hannah and Alan assured Us Weekly they are not dating or in a relationship.
"We are dance partners, and we have the best time together, and we have a friendship that is great," Hannah, 25, told reporters after the latest Dancing with the Stars episode, according to Us.
The Season 15 The Bachelorette star added, "I think I'm done with roses, so mirrorball [trophy] is what we have our eye on."
And when one fan asked Hannah and Alan whether they are "a thing" during an Instagram Q&A session on Monday, Hannah reportedly replied, "Yeah, we're a thing: Team Alabama Hannah!"
Hannah has had a tough time in the love department in recent months.
After failing to win the heart of Colton Underwood on The Bachelor's 24th season, she became The Bachelorette star and fell in love with her season's winner Jed Wyatt, who proposed marriage during the finale.

Hannah, however, dumped Jed five weeks into their engagement because Jed initially told her that his romance with ex Haley Stevens ended one week before taping commenced, but Haley told People in June that Jed left Nashville to film the show in March still dating her.

In addition, Haley alleged in her interview with People that Jed had told her he was only going on the show to promote his music and they'd resume their relationship once he returned home.
Following their breakup, Hannah publicly asked her runner-up, Tyler Cameron, out on a date.
Hannah and Tyler apparently spent the night together a couple of days after the finale aired in late July, but then he seemed to immediately move on with supermodel Gigi Hadid, whom he's been dating ever since.
As for Alan, 25, he swore off showmances after his whirlwind relationship with social-media model and influencer Alexis Ren fell through.
Alan and Alexis were partners on Dancing with the Stars' 27th season, which wrapped in November 2018, and they fell pretty hard for each other fast.
Though they attempted to keep their on-screen romance alive after the show ended, Alan and Alexis separately alluded to a split a little over two weeks later.
In March 2019, Alan admitted to Us that he hadn't spoken to Alexis "in a while."
"I'm not gonna lie. I'm gonna be honest," Alan said. "No more showmances for me. I'm done!"

Not only did the couple find themselves in different countries once filming wrapped on the ABC reality dancing competition, but Alan also had to embark on the Dancing with the Stars tour.
Alan reportedly told Jana Kramer during an April episode of her "Whine Down" podcast that he's a private person and so their lifestyles differed drastically.
"[Alexis] is a beautiful person, in and out, but, that didn't end up so well," Alan reportedly said when asked to share his thoughts on the model's uber sexy Instagram photos.
"We met on the show, and you know, that is her whole career... she is a social media influencer, how could I tell her whether she should post something or not? You know, that's not my duty as a boyfriend."
Hannah and Alan finished in fifth place on the judges' leaderboard on Dancing with the Stars Monday night after dancing their rumba, but that was their poorest showing to date.
The pair taped a hilarious package, however, that aired before their performance in which Hannah attended her best friend's bachelorette party and Alan surprised the group of girls by dressing as a police officer and then ditching his shirt and dancing for them.
"I'm just a stripper for hire," Alan joked to Us, calling his moves "pretty good."
Hannah, meanwhile, laughed and said, "I closed my eyes most of the time."
Hannah has had many Bachelor Nation favorites in the audience supporting her since Dancing with the Stars' 28th season premiered -- including Demi Burnett, Tayshia Adams, and show host Chris Harrison.
