Last week, the dancing duo told Fox News Digital that they’re only partners on the dance floor. 

"We’re dancing. We’re at work," Naders, 27, remarked.

"I tell you one thing — dance is such an art form that you have to play a character, right?" Savchenko chimed in. "You have to create a chemistry on the dance floor… When you're dancing a tango, and you have a beautiful partner… you automatically have that, and that helps the dance."

Savchenko explained that their dynamic chemistry would only help them win the dance competition.
