'I love dancing with him!': Maria Menounos and Derek Hough lock eyes while practicing moves in the street
They have gradually been getting
closer and closer as they approach the Dancing With The Stars final.
And there is clearly a special bond that has formed between Extra host Maria Menounos and her handsome partner Derek Hough.
Yesterday, the pair locked eyes intensely as they danced at The Grove for an upcoming segment on Extra, the series 33-year-old Maria currently hosts.

Last weekend, the pair were seen playing around in the swimming pool at Bud Light Lime 'Lime-A-Rita' Cinco de Mayo party in Las Vegas and looked very cosy together.
Maria looked stunning in a green string bikini as Derek grabbed her and dipped her in the popular dance move.
On the last episode, the Greek-American TV star broke down into tears after their first performance, a Viennese Waltz. And as soon as she faced the judges, she was reduced to tears.
'I loved the dance, and I love
the music, and I love dancing with him,' she said through tears.
Derek, who said Maria looked
'beautiful' for the waltz on his website also tweeted about being
'proud' of his brunette partner who has been dancing through the burden
of broken ribs and a broken foot.
Even the judges noticed the emotional connection between Maria and Derek, who often fraternise outside of work hours.
The couple didn't fare any better with Goodman in the second round either, when Maria slipped into a racy bra and harem trousers to do a Bollywood-inspired samba.
This time the contestants were doing the second round with a twist - a trio round. Derek and Maria were joined by Henry Byalikov, but their samba didn't resonate at all with former ball room champ, who couldn't connect with their version of the quickstep.
The couple ended up with a
total of 25 points for the round, with an overall score of 53 out of 60.
The Boston native revealed that she gets 'violent' while watching Celtics' games with the blonde dancer.
'I'm such a die-hard fan,' the Dancing with the Stars contestant recently told People Magazine.
'Derek [Hough] is a little scared. I get a little crazy.'
