Mark Ballas

Sabrina Bryan is currently on the Dancing with the Stars tour without her man, but rest assured:

The Cheetah Girl will be home for Christmas to lend some lovin' to Mark Ballas; he's home recovering from surgery after dislocating his shoulder on the show's season finale last month.

"I brought him a little gift basket the night of his surgery of movies [and] his favorite candy... because it's hard to just have to sit there and not really be able to do much," Bryan told Us Weekly. "He's somebody who's active so much, so to actually just take a moment and just relax is a lot for him."

How adorable are these two?!? While it remains to be seen if Helio Castroneves and Julianne Hough are actually a couple, there's little doubt that Bryan and Ballas have staying power.

Like Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff, who also met on Dancing with the Stars, this pair is in it to win it.

There's no doubt Dancing with the Stars fans will see more of Mark Ballas and Sabrina Bryan this season. But for how long?

In each of the past four seasons, all of the couples have been asked back to do a short turn on the dance floor during the finale. Ballas claims the couple will enjoy more than the typical 10 seconds; they'll perform an entire paso doble or cha cha.

"She was voted off too early," Ballas told TV Guide. "She's great, she's lovely, and she was by far the best dancer. No one can take that away from her. So I want to come back to avenge her."

How romantic. And slightly frightening.

"People say she came too far too fast," Ballas added about his new love. "But in the beginning, when I first met her, she was clueless. She could stand with her knees bent and go "Yeah, yeah, boom, boom, hip hop.' But as far as having your feet turned out properly, your hair in a wonderful beehive hairdo and a ballroom gown with feathers at your feet? She didn't know how to do that. It's a totally different kettle of fish."

Perhaps Ballas should stick to dancing instead of metaphors. But we do hope he and Bryan get a chance to prove they belonged in the finals alongside Melanie Brown and Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Fortunately, Mark and Sabrina have both signed on to join the third Dancing with the Stars national tour, which kicks off December 18th in Seattle.

"It means a lot to us to be able to carry on performing," said Ballas. "And I want to show Sabrina's full potential. I really wanted to show America what she could do. I know there was a lot more I could've pulled out of her if we had stayed in the competition. So I'm definitely going to be pulling out all the stops on the tour."

Now that Mark Ballas and Sabrina Bryan are officially a couple, they aren't holding anything back.

The Dancing with the Stars professional, fellow pro Derek Hough and their band Almost Amy took to the stage at Hollywood club Sugar last night.

Bryan stood in the front row... until Ballas dedicated the band's first number to "my beautiful Sabrina" and the Cheetah Girls member got on stage to shake what her mama gave her.

"Isn't he the cutest thing in the world," Bryan gushed to People magazine moments after Ballas presented her with a large bouquet of flowers.

"I think it's so cool that they are dating," Cameron Mathison said. "They are so cute together."

We couldn't agree more. And hope to see Sabrina, Mark, Brad Womack and DeAnna Pappas go on a double date in the near future.

Sabrina Bryan was rumored to be starring in High School Musical 3.

Now that Vanessa Hudgens has been signed to reprise her role in the movie instead - combined with the fact that Bryan was shockingly eliminated from Dancing with the Stars last week - you may be wondering why this Cheetah Girl is all smiles.

It's all due to Mark Ballas.

Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas are dating.

"He's so close to me," said Bryan. "I mean, I'm in a group now with the Cheetah Girls. And one of my biggest fears was stepping away from them and not having someone around me that I felt was my true family. The Cheetah Girls feels like family.

And the fact that Mark and I were able to get so close so quickly was so awesome. It made everything so comfortable. It made me able to trust him in ways that would've stopped or held back my performances had I not trusted him."

As you can see Sabrina could go on and on about Ballas.

But let's get to the juicy part: Are these two following in the footsteps of Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff, who began as Dancing with the Stars partners and are still going strong as a couple?

"We've been so focused on the competition," Bryan said. "But now that that has died down, we'll see where it goes. We haven't had a chance to do any of that [dating] or even talk about it. We didn't even realize that people would think that about us until they started asking us. Because you get so close to someone, you get so comfortable, that you don't even see it...

"I absolutely love and adore him."

And there you have it. We haven't been this excited about a couple since Olivia Mojica and the guy she made a sex tape with.
