After finally winning the big mirror ball trophy, Maksim Chmerkovskiy is officially retiring from the popular show, Dancing With the Stars.
He announced his retirement during his appearance on The View this week. He said he was done dancing.
“I feel like it’s times,” said the 34 year old.
The dancing stud returned for season 18 after he missed the previous two seasons. He won the title last season for the first time with Olympic skater, Meryl Davis. He hinted after the finale that he wanted to retire when speaking with Social Life Magazine.
“I want Meryl to be the last person I dance with,” he explained. “The last person I got to be passionate with and care so much for,” the gifted dancer said.
Rumors of the two dating escalated after signs of flirtatious tweeting appeared on social media. They have denied reports.
