The 2018 Winter Olympic [gold medalists](http://time.com/5166108/tessa-virtue-scott-moir-ice-dancing-canada-gold/) in ice dancing — and most-decorated figure skaters in Olympic history — put on quite a show during their [PyeongChang appearance](http://time.com/5157649/tessa-virtue-scott-moir-valentines-day/), executing flawless versions of a passionate _Moulin Rouge_ medley for their free skate and a dramatic Latin short program. But they’ve stayed mum about how that chemistry translates off the ice. Leave it to _Today Show_ hosts [Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie](http://time.com/5083901/today-hoda-kotb-co-anchor-news/) to try to get to the bottom of the mystery. [In an interview](http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/winning-gold-just-sweet-virtue-moir-imagined) with the skaters following their win, Kotb and Guthrie came right out with the question, asking about their dating status and calling their chemistry “undeniable.” “Would you guys just give us a little 411 on that situation?” Kotb asked. Virtue and Moir responded with laughter. “Well, that’s such a compliment that you feel that when you watch us skate,” Virtue gracefully responded. “We absolutely love performing together. We love storytelling, especially with Satine and Christian in the [_Moulin Rouge!_ program](http://time.com/5144173/virtue-moir-free-dance-2018-reactions/). That was really close to our hearts. We knew we wanted to skate to that music.” “Guess mission accomplished,” Moir continued, completing her thought. “That was the story we were telling, so I’m happy that you fell in love with that.” Looks like they’ll be continuing to play coy about where their hearts lie when the skates come off. And as for their professional future together? “We have to let the dust settle before we make that decision,” Moir noted about their plans going forward. The many mysteries of Virtue and Moir remain alive and well. > [](https://twitter.com/TODAYshow/status/965936574381875201) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5167100/virtue-moir-dating-rumors/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5167100/virtue-moir-dating-rumors/"},"headline":"Here's How Internet Darlings Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir Respond to Those Relationship Theories","datePublished":"2018-02-20T19:32:42.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:50:47.477Z","description":"Olympic ice dance gold medalists Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue keep the focus on the PyeongChang performance in response to dating questions.","url":"https://time.com/5167100/virtue-moir-dating-rumors/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Winter Olympics","2018 Pyeongchang Olympics"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf5f3f859223b5915/6989284c0a4a22c5619d1d72/tessa-virtue-scott-moir-medals.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf5f3f859223b5915/6989284c0a4a22c5619d1d72/tessa-virtue-scott-moir-medals.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Medal Ceremony - Winter Olympics Day 11","caption":"Medal Ceremony - Winter Olympics Day 11","creditText":"Tom Pennington—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5167100/virtue-moir-dating-rumors/","name":"Here's How Internet Darlings Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir Respond to Those Relationship Theories"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Internet Is Thrilled About Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir's Ice Dancing Gold Medal","description":"Come what may, ice dancing virtuosos Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir of Canada were determined to finish on top at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/1cAg85AB/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-02-20T15:20:50.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/1cAg85AB.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5167100/virtue-moir-dating-rumors/","duration":"PT1M8S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5167100/virtue-moir-dating-rumors/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
