Many have argued that the romance that started on Dancing with the Stars between Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough was staged only to keep them on the show. But during the after elimination television tour on all of the TV talk shoes they sure looked like a young couple in love. Now a report from Star Magazine claims they have taken it to the next level.

Star reports that now that they've been hustled off Dancing with the Stars, Shannon Elizabeth and her partner, Derek Hough, have even more time to spend with each other. In fact, 22-year-old Derek has moved into the 12-years-older actress' L.A. home!

"Shannon doesn't like to live alone, and Derek is at her house all the time now anyhow, playing with her dogs and watching movies, so it's no big deal for him to move some of his stuff in," a source tells the magazine.
The report claims that Shannon is so determined to make the romance work that she's even teaching Derek how to play poker. Says the source, "Poker is her passion. She's won a lot of money in poker tournaments." As Star first reported, Shannon took up with Derek soon after splitting with math teacher beau Brett Estrada.
