‘Dancing With the Stars’ Pro Val Chmerkovskiy Apologizes to Partner Jenna Dewan on Show After Suspension
Carrie Ann Inaba and Val Chmerkovskiy are getting back on beat.
After the Dancing With the Stars professional was given a one-week suspension for a social media comment directed at the judge, the duo appeared to bury the beef in the ballroom.
Case in point: Chmerkovskiy headed over to the judges’ table after the Oct. 27 taping and embraced Inaba while the pair appeared to talk intently.
Chmerkovskiy completed his suspension during the Oct. 20 episode after posting a since-deleted comment on TikTok expressing frustration for Inaba’s critique of his wife Jenna Johnson during the previous episode.
Meanwhile, the 40-year-old also expressed an apology to his celebrity partner Jenna Dewan in rehearsal footage that was shared elsewhere during the latest DWTS episode.
“We are back together,” Chmerkovskiy told his partner. “I am so sorry for all the chaos. You did not sign up for that, and I feel awful.”
Dewan, for her part, wasted no time getting back in rhythm with Chmerkovskiy.
“I forgive you,” the Rookie star told him. “I missed you.”
