While many of the Dancing With the Stars duos have dating rumors surrounding them, it’s clear that Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson are not involved romantically.
First, their age gap (43 years old, 20 years old) means that Witney views her dance partner as more of a big brother than a potential romantic partner.
Posting on Twitter recently, Carson referred to Ribeiro as her “big bro.”
The other big reason is that Alfonso is married happily to Angela Unkrich, now Angela Ribeiro. In fact, Angela and the couple’s 11-month-old son AJ have been at most of the live competitions and at other settings with Alfonso, including an appearance on Extra.
She’s also comfortable with Witney, sharing a picture of the young professional dancer with AJ. Witney is also in other pictures holding the young child. AJ’s full name is Alfonso Lincoln Ribeiro Jr.

Unkrich, 33, married Ribeiro in October 2012.
“Last night I got married to the most incredible woman in the world,” Ribeiro said via Twitter, with Unkrich adding: “1st morning waking up as Mrs. Ribeiro = AMAZING!!! So happy and blessed!”
Unkrich, who stands about 5’3″, is from Winfield, Iowa and attended Northwestern University, where she competed in diving and also lettered in basketball and track, in addition to being vice president of the National Honor Society.
The Communication Studies major, who was born to Stan and Valerie Unkrich, describes herself on Twitter as an “Iowa Farm Girl, Former Springboard Diver & Gymnast, Travel Lover, Cubs Fan, & Golf Enthusiast.”
She also noted that she’s a wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend.
It’s been reported that prior to being a mother, Unkrich was a writer.
Before he married Angela, Alfonso was married to Robin Stapler from 2002 through 2006. He had a daughter with Robin.
