Janel Parrish, 25, and Val Chmerkovskiy, 28, have been showing off their major chemistry on and off the stage! Ever since Janel’s split from her long-time boyfriend, Payson Lewis, her and Val seem to be growing closer! Check out her new steamy Inta pic with him at her birthday party!
On the night of her birthday party, Janel had a blast snapping tons of pics with her friends. One Insta pic in particular caught our eye — the one with her wrapped around Val! She captioned the cap, “Birthday shenanigans with @iamvalc #teamjanelskiy.”
Rumors have been swilling ever since Janel split with her long time boyfriend, Jayson, while shooting DWTS. Some think the breakup had to do with her insane chemistry with her dance partner, Val. Judging from this pic, we have a hard time believing that there is nothing going on between the two of them. She is all over him, smiling from ear to ear!
A day before, she uploaded a pic at dance rehearsals with a big bouquet of flowers — from Val! She captioned the pic, “Birthday flowers from this sweetheart.” So cute!
They haven’t confirmed that they are an item yet, but Val has been happy to be a shoulder to cry on for Janel after her breakup.
“Val is there for Janel for whatever she needs and if she wants to talk about her past relationship, he’ll listen. But they don’t really talk about it,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. “He doesn’t pay attention to it at all. Plus, he doesn’t think he was the reason for the breakup.”
