Val Chmerkovskiy clearly has a lot of love for his Dancing with the Stars partner Janel Parrish -- whatever type of love that may be.

With Dancing with the Stars' nineteenth season coming to a close Tuesday night, Chmerkovskiy sent his celebrity partner -- and rumored romantic interest -- a heartfelt message on Instagram.
"To @janelparrish..You are so many things, but the one thing that truly matters is your heart. They can never say you didn't have heart. you fought every step of the way. I'm so impressed with you and grateful to have been your partner," Chmerkovskiy wrote late Monday night.
The pro dancer captioned an image which features Parrish getting her ribs checked out by a doctor and Chmerkovskiy sitting next to her, holding her arm and offering support.
"I said from the beginning I had the best one, seemed cocky at the time but I meant it enough to say it," he continued. "I believed in it enough to risk it. We didn't always say the right things, do the right things, but we always meant the right things.. and for that I'm proud and thankful. Love you J congrats my champ."

Parrish is apparently already a champion in Chmerkovskiy's eyes regardless of whether they win or lose tonight. The couple is going up against Alfonso Ribeiro and partner Witney Carson as well as Sadie Robertson and partner Mark Ballas in the finale.
After the pair was deemed safe at the conclusion of Monday night's broadcast, Chmerkovskiy posted a photo on Instagram saying it was a "beautiful moment" of "relief and appreciation." Chmerkovskiy and Parrish had landed in the bottom two alongside Bethany Mota and partner Derek Hough, who ultimately got eliminated.
As the second part of Season 19's finale quickly approaches, Parrish has also taken to Twitter to express her feelings.
"It's the last time I'll dance in the ballroom. My experience on #DWTS will stay with me always. So many beautiful memories! Let's go!" the actress and Pretty Little Liars star tweeted Tuesday afternoon.
"It's the finale tonight! I can't believe it!! I'm gonna miss dancing on this stage with @iamvalc #teamjanelskiyforever."
