“Phaedra came up to Derek, and Val [Chmerkovskiy] was like, ‘She has the biggest crush on your husband.’ And I was like, ‘Who doesn’t?’” Hayley shared with Us Weekly after Tuesday night’s episode. “I love this little showmance that’s going on. And I just love Phaedra. So, I’m like, ‘Heck yeah, girl. Get in there.’”

The Houghs shared that they love watching The Traitors, which is where they became Phaedra Parks fans.

“We love that show so much,” Derek chimed in. “She was so great.”

According to Us Weekly, this epic showmance all began during the first episode of Season 33.

“You look incredible. You look fabulous, you really truly do,” Derek said after Val and Phaedra’s performance during the season premiere. “Oh, my goodness, I feel like I have to talk to you [with a deep, slow voice] the whole time. I just feel that energy between us. Sorry.”

Phaedra later admitted to the publication she finds Derek very “sexy.” But as for Val, the entire flirtatious banter apparently went over his head.

“I will go back and look at the tape and reassess the situation,” the dancer joked with Us Weekly.
