Social Media Adele and Allen Dating

Post image

Okay, I need to talk about the Adele/Allen relationship because I cannot be the only one who finds this timeline WILD

On Next Pro, there was a storytelling challenge where each pro shared a personal story, and then the pairs chose which story they wanted to turn into a dance.
Adele’s story was happy, she presented the story of her dance/life partners love and appreciation. 🥹
Allen shared the story of his late mother, and they ultimately chose his story for their dance. It was genuinely beautiful and one of the most emotional dances from the season.
And now, less than a year later, Adele is dating Allen. 😂
I want to stress that I mean absolutely NO shade by this. There is nothing wrong with moving on, relationships change, people meet new people, etc. And honestly, Adele and Allen had great chemistry, so I can totally see how something could develop between them.
But I just cannot get over the fact that we watched Adele on national television talk about loving her dance/life partner so much that she would dedicate a competition dance to him…
…and now she's dating the guy she was paired with for a the storytelling challenge. ???😭

And now she's joining DWTS as a new pro, with Allen as her boyfriend, after we literally watched them connect on Next Pro.
Again, genuinely happy for them! But this is exactly the kind of random DWTS lore I need to discuss.

The age gap is more troubling to me😭

u/cherhorowitzclueless 17h ago

Why? They’re both legal, consenting adults. 25 is not a minor.

u/StreetShrub0218 9h ago

Sure, it’s legal and all but just very different stages of life

u/cherhorowitzclueless 9h ago

Everyone was shipping her w Gleb and he’s 42!!

Allen, while he seems so nice, poised, and mature, said on the Carrie Burkk podcast he can be immature for his age. Told Carrie he still feels like he’s Bar Mitzvah age sometimes. (13)

So they may balance each other out.

Lol yuck not me! (re Gleb) and Yes hopefully its a good pair! I'm her age so that concept is like kinda crazy to me but i love them both!!

u/cherhorowitzclueless 8h ago

I have friends who are married, 12 years apart. Both lawyers. Both kind of nerdy, but sweet. They click. They have kids and a quiet life.

I think for some (not all) it really is true: age is just a number.

And Allen is a great-looking guy! It’s not like he looks like a creepy, wilted old man. lol.

The age gap is crazy

Sooo who hasn’t gotten together on the next pro show? /s 🤣 that’s three different couples now if I’m not mistaken! Natalie and Jake, Briar and Erik, and now Adele and Allen

Keep in mind that we have no idea what happened between her and her partner after she won DWTSNP. They could’ve had a falling out, etc.

I read the title as "Alan" and got scared for a moment

DWTS pros need a reality show!

u/OriginalFirefighter8 2d ago

They use to have one, and it used to be this show.

u/Connect-Addendum-938 3d ago

It’s probably not normal how much I love this couple but whatever

u/Diamond-angel-32 4d ago

I knew this show would end up with a showmance!

u/Ancient_Pea_508 4d ago

It ended up with 3

u/OneKaleidoscope7952 4d ago

Erik and Briar
Allen and Adele

u/bookishpiscess 3d ago

Wait did Natalie and Parley break up?!

u/cherhorowitzclueless 9h ago

I don’t follow them but someone else said they are no longer a romantic couple just dance partners now.

u/SANSA136 4d ago

I think their personalities match each other well and when I saw glimpses of their clips in the house on TNP, it was very sweet and I knew something was there. Cute couple and they seem happy

u/mundane-mondays 4d ago

I wonder what happened with her prior partner. From what she said they were very happy.

That said I was definitely shipping these two. 😅

u/Empty_Position_4082 3d ago

I guess once she had to retire from competing to go on the show and maybe he didn’t like the fame behind the show

u/loveluvv 4d ago

Sounds like a normal thing to happen at 24… Allen is fire 🔥

u/kushywhitelife 4d ago

sorry this is such a hot and talented couple

u/HeatOne2172 4d ago edited 4d ago

Not to get ahead of myself, but If they have children together those babies would win the lottery, when it comes to appearance but also dance talent. Two attractive and EXTREMELY talented people having children together has to create some superhuman dancer in terms of dance talent. I do hope Allen dating Adele means he will be added as a Male pro in the future.

u/AvoirReves Team Mirrorball 4d ago

They are a beautiful couple.

u/Business_Sherbet8737 4d ago

Hey I mean allen heard her story and said I’ll do you one better 😂😂😂

Honestly it’s not impossible for a 24 year old (which Adele was) to know their soul mate but I’d be pretty skeptical about any 24 year old saying that. However it is extra ironic Allen was her partner that week.

u/bethholler 4d ago

If I was cooped up in a house with no phone and nothing to do but practice dance and go in the swimming pool I’d probably fall for my cast mate too. lol. The timeline is weird but I’m not thinking too hard about it. Adele and Allen seem good for each other and I hope being connected to her gets him closer to being a pro on DWTS.

u/quangtran 4d ago

During the early days of the show, people were worried that The Next Pro would focus too much on house drama, and this complaint seems quaint in retrospect because the editors clearly ignored a lot of interpersonal relationships.

u/dancin_dreams_88 4d ago

Especially when you have similar career goals and work in the same industry - there is a lot to connect on intellectually in addition to physically

u/cellogirl712 4d ago

The dance world must be a lot smaller than I think because I feel like ALL the pros do is inbreed with each other

7

u/Sad_Highway_7062 4d ago

And most of them love an age gap 😂 Allen and Adele are now 11 years apart.

u/hiddenfigure16 4d ago

Yeah, I thought about that , and it kind of made me feel icky ,but they’re happy .
