Uh-oh….Did tough-talkin’ ballroom aficionado Maksim Chmerkovskiy — who recently ended his engagement to dancer Karina Smirnoff — have anything to do with Julianne Hough’s shocking split from up and coming country crooner Chuck Wicks?

Although the native Alaskan isn’t sure sequins and shimmy-shakin’ are his cup of tea.

“One thing I will always remember and take from this competition is the lessons I learned,” Aaron said to the judging panel. “I’ve grown so much with your compliments and your criticism, so thank you for helping me be able to grow on this show.”

Burke, Broadway-bound? PEOPLE sure thinks so! Former Dancing With The Stars champion Cheryl Burke is in discussion to make her Broadway debut in the Tony-winning musical Chicago this winter. “It’s always been a dream of Cheryl’s to perform on Broadway,” a theater tipster told PEOPLE on Wednesday.
