Season 33 of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" is underway and we have some juicy news to report.

Two members of the show, who are partnered up this season, got caught kissing backstage during Tuesday's episode. The 33rd season of the show made its premiere earlier this month. This year's cast features former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola, former NBA star Dwight Howard, U.S. Olympia gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue model Brooks Nader and plenty of other stars from across the sports and entertainment world. But two of them have been caught kissing backstage during Tuesday night's episode, in the second week of the season.

Unsurprisingly, TMZ Sports captured the footage.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue model Brooks Nader and her dancing partner, Gleb Savchenko, got caught kissing backstage prior to their performance on Tuesday night.

"Check it out ... the model plants a kiss on her dance partner's lips, and again on his cheek, while waiting backstage at the dancing competition. Gleb appears unfazed by Brooks' affection, holding her hands and rubbing the small of her back ... all while crew members look on," TMZ Sports wrote.

"The footage was clearly taken from Tuesday night's episode of the competition series ... Brooks and Gleb are wearing the same outfits they donned for their quickstep routine for Oscars Night."

It's not uncommon for "Dancing With The Stars" partners to end up dating. It's an intimate show and a pretty rigorous process. But earlier this month, Gleb denied any romantic interest.

From Page Six: 

The professional dancer, 40, exclusively told Page Six Friday that although the model, 27, is "great" and that they have "amazing" chemistry in the ballroom, there is no romantic interest.

Right now, they are simply focused on winning the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy, he added.

Perhaps things have changed.

Nader was previously married to advertising executive Billy Haire, who worked for Sports Illustrated's parent company.
