Val Chmerkovskiy has addressed rumors he's romantically involved with Amber Rose, who was paired with his brother Maksim Chmerkovskiy for Dancing with the Stars' 23rd season.

"I'd make a cute couple with a lot of people, you know what I'm sayin?'" Val, 30, joked to ET. "I can't control what people think. I live my life and I try to live it, you know, the way I want to live it."
A source previously told People that Val and the talk show host have a lot of potential as a couple.
"They met through Maks and really like each other," the source said. "It's very new, but it's going well."
Val and Amber aren't exactly trying to hide their flirty relationship, as they both posted photos of each other getting cozy this past weekend at Amber's 33rd birthday party on Instagram.
"HBD MUVA," Val captioned an image of Amber nearly kissing his cheek on Sunday.
That same day, Rose wrote, "Ukrainian Hottie," alongside a picture of Val hugging her waist and resting his head on her chest while she struck a sexy pose under countless red and white balloons.
Val vented to ET, however, that a picture isn't necessarily worth a thousand words.
"You know, I post a lot of pictures with Laurie too and, for some reason, thankfully, there's no romance rumors there!" Val said, referring to his 16-year-old DWTS partner, Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez.
Although Amber -- who became famous when she dated Kim Kardashian's now-husband Kanye West many years ago -- was eliminated from Dancing with the Stars last week, Val has the utmost respect for her journey on the show.
"I'm proud of Amber for coming in and embracing the process and doing her very best [while] looking great," Val gushed. "Obviously, because she was my brother's partner especially, I was rooting for them."
