Dancing with the Stars pro Peta Murgatroyd has revealed whether her fiance Maksim Chmerkovskiy is envious of Season 22 partner Nyle DiMarco since she admits they look like brothers.

"Oh god, he hates Nyle!" the pro dancer, 29, joked with Us Weekly after Monday night's Dancing with the Stars show.
Chmerkovskiy, 36, and DiMarco, 26, ironically share very similar physical features, as they're both the tall, dark and handsome type.
"No, no, Maks adores him," Murgatroyd clarified. "And we all have a lot of fun together. They look so similar it's kind of funny! They could be brothers!"
DiMarco was the first deaf contestant to ever win America's Next Top Model and now he's the second to compete on Dancing with the Stars. So far this season, DiMarco and Murgatroyd have managed to land in the upper half of the judges' leaderboard each week.

DiMarco admitted to Us there's a bit of an advantage to resembling Chmerkovskiy, who first appeared on DWTS in Season 2 and served as a pro for 14 seasons before stopping by every now and then as a guest judge.
"It's definitely been nice," DiMarco said. "I appreciate it a lot because Maks has the same build as me, the same height, so I get a good perspective from him, from a person who's got the same features as I do."
Chmerkovskiy is apparently impressed by DiMarco's moves so far.
"[He] just thinks [Nyle] is doing such an incredible job," added Murgatroyd, who joined DWTS in Season 13 and has competed in every season since except the 21st edition due to an injury.
After dating on and off for almost a year between 2012 and 2013, Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy rekindled their romance last year and announced their engagement on December 5.
