Hok konishi lacey schwimmer dancer

Lacey Schwimmer and Hok Konishi are enjoying themselves on So You Think You Can Dance’s current North American tour. But the main source of happiness isn’t the grooving and/or the shaking.

“Being on tour is an amazing experience, but I couldn’t imagine it without Hok,” Schwimmer told In Touch Weekly.

The 19-year-old swing and international Latin dancer and Konishi, a 22-year-old break dancer, finally went public with their relationship a couple months ago. Now, they can’t say enough positive things about one another.

“He is by far the best thing that ever happened to me,” Schwimmer said. “It’s exciting to know that I have my best friend and my love with me at all times.”

Schwimmer said she was first introduced to her man by her brother – So You Think You Can Dance second-season champ Benji Schwimmer – who knew Konishi because he also competed during the show’s summer 2006 second installment, without making it as a finalist.

However, romantic sparks didn’t fly between the two until both appeared as So You Think You Can Dance third-season finalists over the summer. The rest is dancing and love-making history.

So You Think You Can Dance third-season finalists Lacey Schwimmer and Hok Konishi have confirmed they are dating.

But they weren’t anxious to share the news.

“Actually there is Hok and Lacey, I think they are official and I think they have been official,” fellow finalist Lauren Gottlieb told Access Hollywood last Friday when asked about any romantic relationships between third-season cast members.

So You Think You Can Dance 3 champ Sabra Johnson – as well as contestant Neil Haskell – then backed up this claim. It forced Schwimmer to come clean about her love life.

“What? Wait. Wait. Where did you get that information from?” asked Schwimmer when approached by Access Hollywood about her alleged relationship with Konishi. Once she learned it was her fellow finalists who let the news slip, Schwimmer said, “Alright, you caught us.”

Reality TV World reports that Schwimmer, an 18-year-old swing and international Latin dancer from Redlands, CA, was eliminated from So You Think You Can Dance 3 during the show’s finale last month; while Konishi, a 22-year-old break dancer from Los Angeles, CA, was cut on the cusp of the Top 10 being revealed.
