Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson are undeniably adorable together on the Dancing with the Stars stage, so they can't blame fans for hoping they'll pursue a relationship outside the show.

In light of rumors the couple is already dating, Herjavec just isn't talking. However, he's made it clear his flirtatious chemistry with Johnson isn't just for the cameras or to help them get more home-viewer votes.

"I don't do anything for publicity," Herjavec told People after Monday night's Dancing with the Stars performance show. "From the moment I met her, I love hanging out with her. We are having a great time."

Herjavec, a 51-year-old star on Shark Tank, reportedly joined the reality dancing competition's twentieth season after contemplating suicide due to his recent divorce from his wife of 24 years.

Herjavec and Johnson, 38, were spotted kissing at an intimate viewing party at Hyde Sunset Kitchen + Cocktails in Los Angeles for Dancing with the Stars' premiere last week. An eyewitness told Us Weekly at the time they were holding hands and dancing closely.

During the first week of competition, Herjavec and Johnson danced the cha cha and finished in fourth place on the judges' leaderboard. On Monday night's show, the pair performed a foxtrot that landed them in a four-way tie for sixth place. Herjavec mostly received praise from the judges.
