Perhaps Meryl Davis and Maks Chmerkovskiy are actually an item but they are still have not come into terms of revealing it to the public. Or, maybe it's just the delusional tendencies of fans who crave for the real score between last season's M&M dancing couple. Whatever may be the reason, it's undeniable that Meryl and Maks still hang out and enjoy each other's company like how they did throughout their entire ballroom dance floor journey.

Just last Thursday, the Olympic ice dancing gold medalist and DWTS' retired bad boy on the dance floor hit Los Angeles' Ink restaurant with some of their friends for a night to remember.

According to E! News, Meryl Davis and Maks Chmerkovskiy ate dinner with a group of their friends, including 'Dancing With The Stars' Season 19 contenders, Val Chmerkovskiy and Janel Parrish.

Insiders gushed that the gang actually gathered together to celebrate Meryl's recognition as Sportswoman of the Year from the Women's Sports Foundation.

Obviously, her DWTS partner and rumored boyfriend Maks is super proud of her as proven by his big smiles on the snaps they took during their get-together and shared on social media.

On Instagram, Maks uploaded a group photo and captioned it, "Family dinner. @iamvalc @meryledavis @janelparrish @hollywoodmerv @sergeonik."

'Pretty Little Liars' star Janel Parrish also uploaded the same snap on her account, but captioned it differently.  "So much happy @iamvalc @meryledavis @maksimc @sergeonik @hollywoodmerv," she wrote.

It isn't clear whether Maks and Meryl had some time off together amid their group dinner, but one snap shows only the twosome sitting at a separate table with Maks pointing at a beaming Meryl. "Celebratory dinner with this Sportswoman Of The Year! @meryledavis," Maks captioned the cute snap, reports Us Weekly.

Though they have since denied that they are dating, Maks teased in a Social Life interview last June that he and Meryl share a unique bond.

Meanwhile, it appears that Val and Janel are also getting the same attention to their DWTS partnership like Maks and Meryl last season because of their undeniable chemistry on the dance floor.

Val and Janel have been coy about their rumored romance especially after the latter's recent breakup from Payson Lewis, noted Hollywood Life.

Interestingly, in a lie detector test special on Access Hollywood, Val may have given a hint that he is smitten with Parrish when he said, "Her face is just so small and her lips are so big that anywhere I'm going to kiss is going to land on her lips."
