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 91裸聊视频淭he Ellen DeGeneres Show91裸聊视频� Tuesday, and the popular host asked them point-blank what a lot of skating fans have been wondering 91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频淎re you a couple?91裸聊视频�

While pictures of the two-time Olympic champions91裸聊视频� 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.

91裸聊视频淲e are not (a couple), but we always say 91裸聊视频楾hat91裸聊视频檚 a big compliment,91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频� Virtue said. 91裸聊视频淲hat we portray on the ice is really important to us, and we love getting into character and telling a story.

91裸聊视频淎 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.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淲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.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淪o you91裸聊视频檙e a couple,91裸聊视频� DeGeneres said to laughter from the audience, but the skaters weren91裸聊视频檛 taking the bait.

91裸聊视频淚f we were, we would announce it here,91裸聊视频� Virtue said.

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

91裸聊视频淏ut we didn91裸聊视频檛 talk to each other,91裸聊视频� Moir said. 91裸聊视频淚 remember when we were skating, we would just hold hands and avoid eye contact.

91裸聊视频淚n order to advance our partnership we had to put the hot and heavy relationship on the side.91裸聊视频�

Despite adamantly denying they are an item, Moir and Virtue did do fairly well at a 91裸聊视频淒ating Game91裸聊视频� segment to test their chemistry.

Moir knew that Virtue would want Emma Watson to play her in a movie. Virtue correctly guessed that Moir91裸聊视频檚 celebrity crush was Reese Witherspoon (at least in the film 91裸聊视频淲alk the Line91裸聊视频�) 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.
