To make the competition extra interesting, Vanessa is paired with pro dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy on Season 25, while Nick is partnered with Maksim's wife Peta Murgatroyd. It's a battle of the couples!
So far, Vanessa is coming out ahead, as she has managed to top the judges' leaderboard already with Maksim. But Nick isn't even close to giving up, and he's improving week to week.
Despite rumors of tension with Maksim -- who missed their "guilty pleasure" performance last week -- Vanessa is looking forward to the next Dancing with the Stars show!
