Hope Solo Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Rumored Romances Are on Minds of Every DWTS Fan

The world has gone mad for Dancing with the Stars. It is a strange thing considering the stars are middling and dancing awkwardly. The reason is simple though, America loves romances. 

There is nothing more scintillating than rumors and rumblings of possible steamy romances. This is at the heart of what makes Dancing with the Stars such a popular phenomenon. 

If we can be real for a minute, we can all agree that there are hardly any A-List stars on the cast of DWTS. Even season 13 is a collection of niche names and personalities. What brings the nation coming back is the intrigue of people out of their element. 

But what keeps them interested for a season are the rumors of romance. This season is no different, and includes two women with ties to the sporting world we hold so dear. 

As season 13 drew near, the sporting public became interested in just two contestants. Hope Solo and Kristin Cavallari. A few weeks in, we have seen one of those lovely ladies leave, but the rumors still swirl. 

Yahoo TV has a splendid rundown of the romances that are rumored to be taking place behind the scenes on Dancing with the Stars. 

It is hard not to think Kristin Cavalari and Mark Ballas weren't canoodling backstage. Both were single and perhaps ready to mingle. That rumor takes a huge hit as Cavallari is dismissed in the biggest shock of the early season. 

There is also the note of her former fiance, Jay Cutler, showing up to cheer her on. It seems she is closer to making amends with her ex-beau than finding new love in her dance partner. 

Then there is Hope Solo. The self-professed tom boy has been far more sultry than we would have guessed, and the chemistry between her and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy is palpable. 

The Yahoo report only paints Chmerkovskiy as a bad boy that requested to lead Solo this season. That is all the DWTS-mad nation needs to place some heat where none may exist. 

As we lace up the dancing shoes for another week of Dancing with the Stars, it is clear how you create a hit show based on dancing, include beautiful people, mix them together and serve with a side delightful rumor.
