EXCLUSIVE: The showmance is real! Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson caught kissing and cuddling in Palm Springs after DWTS elimination

Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson may have been eliminated from Dancing With The Stars last Tuesday, but they looked far from upset over the weekend.

Instead, the 51-year-old Shark Tank entrepreneur and the 38-year-old professional dancer seemed to be celebrating with a trip to Palm Springs, California.

The two were spotted getting close and even sharing kisses while relaxing at a resort in the desert getaway.

Throughout Dancing With The Stars season 20, there has been speculation about the nature of the relationship between these two partners.

Robert, who separated from wife Diane Plese in July 2014, seemed to spark immediately with Australian dancer Kym.

With their chemistry seeming to be more than the standard for temporary ballroom partners, the couple gained even more attention on May 4, when their contemporary dance featured a rather passionate kiss.

'We were just in the moment,' Robert insisted to Us Weekly after the show.

'It was just part of the dance,' added Kym. 'It took me by surprise because I didn't know if he was going to do it or not.'

As for a serious relationship, the two continued to insist that they were nothing more than good friends who hoped to keep in touch after the season ended.

They did more than just keep in touch over the weekend though, when the couple was spotted with their arms draped around each other.

Robert and Kym also shared a kiss in their hotel's lobby.

While she stopped short of confirming anything explicitly, Kym dropped a hint on Saturday when she posted an Instagram photo showing a desert scene, fire pit, and the legs of two people.

Hints: 'Kick up your heels,' Kym wrote as the caption to a mysterious Instagram she posted on Saturday

'Kick up your heels....it's the weekend!' she wrote, choosing not to name her companion.

Perhaps partially due to their undeniable chemistry, Robert and Kym had an impressive DWTS run over the past several weeks.

Their downfall, however, came when faced with a double elimination that also knocked out former Bachelor star Chris Soules and partner Witney Carson.

That did not seem to be a sad thing for the happily relaxing Kym and Robert over the weekend.
