Bethany Mota sent a special message to the "inspiring" Derek Hough on Wednesday.

Derek Hough Shares A Photo Of Himself & Bethany Mota, His 'Special Girl'

Two days after their Dancing With The Stars elimination, the YouTube video blogger took to Instagram, where she sent an emotional message to Hough, her dancing partner and rumored boyfriend.

"This guy is by far one of the most inspiring people I have ever me," Mota began in a post shared on Instagram on Wednesday. "Derek, you have been such a positive part of my life these past few months. Your passion for life and creativity in everything you do never cease to amaze me. Watching the way you visualize incredible ideas and bring them to life is beyond fascinating and I am honored to have been able to be a part of it for a while."

Bethany Mota Eliminated From 'Dancing With The Stars'

Since their Dancing With the Stars stint began, Mota and Hough have been romantically linked. Unfortunately, they never really gave a clear answer on whether or not they were an item.

Five days ago, Mota spoke to Ryan Seacrest (see video below) about who Hough may be dating. When she said she had "no idea," the hosts quickly called her bluff, pointing out that she spends several hours a day with him. Still, Mota played coy. "I'm not sure," she insisted.

Then, in her Instagram post on Wednesday, Mota revealed she loved Hough, but, as expected, didn't reveal whether or not that love was platonic.

"Thank you for everything," she ended her message to Hough. "You are one very beautiful person. Love you @derekhough."

On Tuesday night's Dancing With the Stars finale, Alfonso Ribeiro and his partner, Witney Carson, took home the Mirrorball Trophy.
