Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy won Dancing With the Stars season 18, and the contestants in this season will be hard-pressed to match their passion and skill.
Maks has long been known as one of the most talented dancers on the show, while Davis displayed her athleticism and grace from being an Olympic figure skater.
Fans were enamored with the couple, with dating rumors circulating quickly during and even for months after the season.
While Meryl obviously won’t be back, Maksim has also decided not to participate in season 19.
