Paige VanZant is reportedly dating Dancing with the Stars Troupe member Alan Bersten.

When VanZant's pro partner Mark Ballas experienced a back injury during Week 2 of the Season 22 competition, Bersten stepped in to rehearse with the UFC fighter and the couple eventually performed a routine live on the Dancing with the Stars stage. 

After getting acquainted through a sexy salsa, the pair apparently connected on an intimate level.

According to a source close to the couple, VanZant and Bersten's romance is "still new" but building steadily, Entertainment Tonight reported.

"They just got to know one another during the show and rehearsal [and] they took a liking to one another," the source told ET. "They aren't really showing it off, but they are definitely interested in one another."

After VanZant, 22, and Bersten, 21, danced their salsa earlier in the season for home viewer votes, both individuals gushed about their experiences on Instagram.

"Still in shock with how amazing @paigevanzantufc did tonight!" Bersten captioned a cute photo of the pair. "Thank you for sharing this beautiful moment with me."

VanZant also shared her own picture and wrote, "WE DID IT!!!! @alanbersten stepped up so I can dance another day. @markballas is healing up!!! Hope we put on a spicy show to get your votes tonight. Xoxoxo"

Since then, the couple has been spotted looking pretty flirtatious at DWTS after-parties. They reportedly keep PDA to a minimum but arrive and leave the parties together with big smiles on their faces.
