Dancing with the Stars' nineteenth season is over, but Janel Parrish and her partner Val Chmerkovskiy are still beating around the bush as to whether they are romantically involved.

During a Wednesday appearance on Good Morning America, Parrish and Chmerkovskiy were asked about their obvious chemistry on and off the stage.
"So what do you think?" GMA co-host George Stephanopoulos asked the pair.
"Was that a question?" Parrish laughed uncomfortably. "Was it?"
"The future," Stephanopoulos noted after cracking up.

The co-host was trying to figure out if Parrish and Chmerkovskiy will continue seeing one another after the show or take their dancing relationship to the next level.
"It was a great season. I think Janel has a lot to be proud of," Chmerkovskiy replied, clearly ignoring the actual question. "I'm very proud of the things we accomplished this season, and I'm glad that I got a chance to perform with this incredible individual."
"He's a sensitive soul, what can I say?" Parrish said, referring to moments Chmerkovskiy had teared up this season. "It was an amazing experience from beginning until end and I wouldn't have changed anything about it."
During Tuesday night's three-hour Dancing with the Stars finale event, Chmerkovskiy admitted he's looking forward to getting to know Parrish better outside of the show without the complications of rehearsing and performing. The couple had also kissed each other multiple times this season and were photographed holding hands in public.
In addition, Chmerkovskiy revealed he's extremely likely to return to Dancing with the Stars next season as a pro.

"I'm very proud of everybody. I'm proud to be a part of this incredible show. Congratulations to [winners Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson]. I thought they are deserving torch-carriers of Dancing with the Stars and I feel very privileged to be part of this group," Chmerkovskiy said on GMA.
"I think... [it's] the greatest dance show on the planet and I'm excited for next season. I'm excited for the tour and I'm excited to keep performing with Janel and these guys. It's been beautiful."
