Allen Genkin Shares Affectionate Birthday Tribute to Adele Zaikman

Professional ballroom dancers Allen Genkin and Adele Zaikman have publicly expressed affection for each other, after Genkin shared a birthday tribute to Zaikman on September 30 describing their connection as special and saying he loved her. Their relationship has been described as romantic in reports, but Zaikman has not directly confirmed that they are dating in the material available. Genkin posted photographs of the pair alongside his message on Instagram. He wished Zaikman happiness, health, love and success, and wrote that being by her side as she pursued her ambitions had been a blessing. He called her the best thing that had happened to him through Dancing With the Stars: The Next Pro, adding that he felt lucky and adored her. The tribute followed Zaikman’s September 19 appearance on the podcast Fire Chats: The Mindfire Pod, where she said she and Genkin were single and added that she would tell listeners if anything changed. That statement came before the birthday post. A previously reported account from an unnamed source said the two were dating, but no identity or basis for that source’s claim was provided.
