Hot Hook-Ups On ‘DWTS!’ Chad Gives Cheryl A $10,000 Diamond Ring!

Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke took “Passion Night” to a new level on Dancing With The Stars last night!! Check out the ROCK her gave her as a “thank you” gift!

It was “Passion Night” on Dancing With The Stars last night, and some of the contestants took that VERY literally! The obvious chemistry between dance partners Cheryl Burke and Chad Ochocino was out in full force last night!

Cheryl was flashing the huge $10,000 diamond ring  Chad gave her as a “Thank You” gift last night — on the dance floor and later on the red carpet. And the two were flirting even more than ever on last night’s show! PLUS, you won’t believe what Cheryl told HollywoodLife.com when we caught up with her at The Mint nightclub in Los Angeles after the show, where she was celebrating An Evening With Mark Ballas!

Even though Cheryl refused to talk about romance rumors between her and the NFL star — but she wasn’t exactly denying that there was chemistry, either! We also heard her say, “on the dance floor we try and keep things appropriate for ABC, but off the dance floor…” before catching herself and trailing off! WOW!

And Erin Andrews and her partner/boyfriend Maksim Chmerkovskiy are heating up as well! As we told you first, Erin and Maksim are definitely a couple, but last night it was obvious they were in love! Maksim was patting her hips, and at one point, even called her “baby!” Hmm … we wonder who else will end up falling for each other on this super hot show! —Corynne Steindler & Laura Schreffler
