Relationship rumors have been buzzing around James Maslow and Peta Murgatroyd all season, and we’ve got EXCLUSIVE details from Peta’s former partner, Brant Daugherty! The Pretty Little Liars actor danced with Peta on the last season of Dancing With The Stars, and he gave us the scoop on her speculated romance with James!

James Maslow & Peta Muratroyd Win First Perfect Score Of The Season

Cody Simpson was shockingly sent home on April 14’s Dancing With The Stars, but contestant James Maslow was more lucky with the judges — he earned a perfect score of 40 for his contemporary masterpiece with partner Peta Murgatroyd! The duo danced beautifully to Frozen‘s “Let It Go, but one thing we can’t let go of is the romantic rumor mill pirouetting around these two.

“That would melt the coldest heart, even mine,” Len said in his critique with Bruno adding, “You’ve got that ice queen wrapped around your little finger!” 

But does he?

We consulted a certain someone who’s very close to the pair for answers — Peta’s Season 17 dancing partner, Brant Daugherty!

Are James Maslow & Peta Muratroyd Dating?

Dancing With The Stars fans have been curious about James and Peta’s relationship off the dance floor since the beginning of Season 18. In March, HollywoodLife.com reported that the sexy duo was dating.

We had to get to the bottom of the reported romance so who better to ask than Peta’s past partner, Brant Daughtery?

“They start a rumor every [season]…Peta and I were dating the whole season,” Brant EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife.com, sarcastically commenting on his own rumored love life. “They always say that. Even if the guy is married, they’re always dating. So maybe, but probably not!”

Well, that clears that up! Now we know that Brant does not believe that Peta and James are actually linked, but we’ll keep an eye on the couple to see if they get together. But one thing is for sure: Brant wants Peta and James to take the big prize!

“I voted for my Peta,” said Brant. “I’ve got to make sure she takes home the mirror ball this year!”

We love that Brant is supporting Peta even after his season of Dancing With The Stars!

HollywoodLifers, what did you think about James and Peta’s routine last night? And do you think that they are dating? Let us know!
