“It’s very new,” a source told Us Weekly. “They were set up through friends. They just started dating.”
The pair were spotted “holding hands” when they dined at Scalinatella in New York City’s Upper East Side neighborhood.
“They were very canoodly,” an eyewitness said. “It was a very intimate meal.”
Chmerkovskiy’s rep declined to comment to the magazine about his personal life. Additionally, a source close to the swimsuit model told the magazine that the two are not dating, only that they’ve known each other for a long time and remain platonic. Her rep had no comment on the report.

Chmerkovskiy was previously engaged to fellow “Dancing With the Stars” pro Karina Smirnoff but called it quits in September 2009.
