Though Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec and his partner Kym Johnson were eliminated on Tuesday night's Dancing With the Stars, turns out they've found something better than the coveted Mirror Ball trophy -- love!
The reported couple
have remained tight-lipped about their romance all season long. But on
their last episode, viewers saw adorable footage from their rehearsals,
when the 51-year-old multimillionaire tech mogul was caught whispering,
"I love you," to the 38-year-old dancing pro.

A
source tells ET that the two have been dating since the beginning of
the show, and that they "are inseparable and madly in love."

But despite their exciting new romance, Herjavec evaded the question when DWTS host Tom Bergeron pressed him on Tuesday night's episode.
"I've
known Kym, we've been friends for years, and Robert, you may not have
won the Mirror Ball trophy but I'm suspecting you've won someone's
heart," Bergeron said.
"Tom, I'm not sure I feel that way about you," the businessman joked back.
The
new relationship is coming at a good time in Herjavec's life -- in
March, he confirmed that he split from his wife of 24 years, Diane
Plese, and admitted he felt suicidal after their breakup. "I just wanted
to end it," he told People about
a scary incident last July when he contemplated jumping off the balcony
of his Toronto hotel room. "It's been a terribly difficult year."
In March, ET Canada caught up with newly eliminated couple, when Herjavec acknowledged his trying year and the great timing of his DWTS gig alongside Johnson.
"This
couldn't come at a better time in my life for me, right?" he said. "You
know, I'm just trying to stay positive and Kym's yelling at me a lot,
so that's a little negative, but I'm getting used to it," he joked.
