Not even Ellen DeGeneres could get Canadian ice dance sensations Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir to say they are more than friends.

Virtue and Moir appeared on 香蕉视频直播淭he Ellen DeGeneres Show香蕉视频直播� Tuesday, and the popular host asked them point-blank what a lot of skating fans have been wondering 香蕉视频直播� 香蕉视频直播淎re you a couple?香蕉视频直播�

While pictures of the two-time Olympic champions香蕉视频直播� steamy routines danced across a large screen, Virtue poured cold water over the suggestion that the on-ice chemistry extended beyond the rink.

Canadian Gold medalists and are here. Are they a couple? Are they not? I asked. I asked twice. Okay, I asked three times.

香蕉视频直播淲e are not (a couple), but we always say 香蕉视频直播楾hat香蕉视频直播檚 a big compliment,香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈�� Virtue said. 香蕉视频直播淲hat we portray on the ice is really important to us, and we love getting into character and telling a story.

香蕉视频直播淎 lot of the emotions we portray are universal themes that resonate with everyone, so the fact that people feel invested in our partnership is truly remarkable.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淲hen the music ended (at the Pyeongchang Olympics) I just looked at Scott and I was so grateful to have lived the last 20 years by his side and to share in that moment together.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淪o you香蕉视频直播檙e a couple,香蕉视频直播� DeGeneres said to laughter from the audience, but the skaters weren香蕉视频直播檛 taking the bait.

香蕉视频直播淚f we were, we would announce it here,香蕉视频直播� Virtue said.

Moir admitted that he and Virtue did in fact date as children, to the amusement of their parents.

香蕉视频直播淏ut we didn香蕉视频直播檛 talk to each other,香蕉视频直播� Moir said. 香蕉视频直播淚 remember when we were skating, we would just hold hands and avoid eye contact.

香蕉视频直播淚n order to advance our partnership we had to put the hot and heavy relationship on the side.香蕉视频直播�

Despite adamantly denying they are an item, Moir and Virtue did do fairly well at a 香蕉视频直播淒ating Game香蕉视频直播� segment to test their chemistry.

Moir knew that Virtue would want Emma Watson to play her in a movie. Virtue correctly guessed that Moir香蕉视频直播檚 celebrity crush was Reese Witherspoon (at least in the film 香蕉视频直播淲alk the Line香蕉视频直播�) and that his greatest fear was mascots.

Virtue and Moir won their second career ice dance gold at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games in February while helping Canada claim the gold in the team event. The medals made the pair the most decorated Olympic figure skaters of all time.
