Ilona loved her time on DWTS.
She got emotional in November during the show when she thanked her partner Alan Bersten for all he had done for her.
‘Dear Alan, no matter what happens, whether we win or lose, I will forever cherish our time together,’ Maher wrote on behind-the-scenes action from their journey on DWTS.
‘I didn’t come onto this show thinking I’d make a connection like this. You are the best dance partner I could have hoped for.
‘We laughed. We cried. We gave it our all. It was not always easy (Actually, it rarely was), but it was so worth it,’ Maher added.
The dancing duo developed a deep bond and friendship during their months together on the show and she made sure to express how much that has meant to her.
‘It will be strange not to see you every day. Just know… You always made me feel beautiful, powerful and worthy out there.
‘You have truly changed me for the better. I hope to find a forever partner in you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything,’ she wrote.

As the video concluded, Ilona shared one last sentiment and through in a cheeky jab at Bernstein.
‘With so much love, Ilona (your DWTS Season 33 partner in case you ever forget).’
Bernstein shared a gushing comment on the post, echoing his dance partner’s sentiments.
‘@ilonamaher you are worthy! You always have been, you are truly one of a kind. You inspire so many people, you make people feel something, and I am so grateful for the show because they put me with you.
‘I couldn’t have asked for a better partner, or even more importantly a friend. I’m so happy I get to see you shine again tomorrow! Thank you for this incredible season,’ he wrote.

In a second comment, Bernstein wrote, ‘Who’s cutting onions?’
Fans showed their appreciation for the pair in the comments with one offering a good suggestion.
‘I’m trying to use telekinesis to send a message to CBS telling them to put you two on The Amazing Race,’ it was stated.
Another fan wrote, ‘This is the BEST friendship I’ve seen from the show in ages!
‘Y’all need to keep up shenanigans after the show.’
The compliments kept coming with someone writing, ‘I think it’s fair to say no other pair had more fun than you two.’
Another quipped, ‘Hear me out, what if they come back and host it so we never have to be without them ever again?’
