@midnightpianist.us: Jenna Dewan’s dancing has sparked an unexpected online debate, but her fiancé, Steve Kazee, is making it clear that he isn’t bothered by the criticism. The 45-year-old actress performed a rumba with her Dancing With the Stars partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, during the show’s Mariah Carey-themed episode. Their performance to “My All” earned them 24 out of 30 points from the judges. But the conversation didn't end when the music stopped. After a blogger shared a clip of the pair's post-dance interview, suggesting Jenna was being “a bit too touchy” with Val, fans began debating their chemistry. Kazee decided to join the conversation, and his response was impossible to miss. “They don't have chemistry. They have too much chemistry. They have chemistry in the wrong place. Make up your minds,” he commented, poking fun at the conflicting opinions. He followed up with another message defending Jenna, telling critics they had too much time on their hands and insisting that the spouses were unbothered. The discussion even caught the attention of DWTS judge Carrie Ann Inaba, who reminded viewers that physical contact is a natural part of dancing. “Don't try to turn it into something it is not,” she wrote, urging people to respect both dancers and their partners. Jenna and Kazee have been together since 2018 and engaged since 2020. Val has been married to fellow professional dancer Jenna Johnson since 2019. Despite the online chatter, Jenna and Val advanced to the next round of the competition. Sometimes, what viewers interpret as romantic chemistry is simply two professionals doing their job. Do you think fans are reading too much into dance partners’ chemistry? \#JennaDewan #SteveKazee #ValChmerkovskiy #DWTS #celebritynews
