Let’s get right to it. This is a fantastic dance on ice. It is stunning and beautiful to watch in that it almost seems like these two dancers know each other so well. As captivating and as riveting as it all is, here’s the story.
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have been dancing together for an astonishing twenty-two years. Over two decades. Like a match made in heaven, they were destined to be partners on ice and the world thanks the ice-skating gods for this.
Here they are dancing to Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect”, and believe me, you are not the only one getting a funny, curious feeling in the gut. The song is in itself a sweet, romantic ballad about a man swooning over his lady.
And why not if she is indeed so wonderful and “perfect”?
Scott and Tessa have spent their careers dancing with so much emotion and romantic tension that fans have been speculating for years if they were indeed a couple.
Now maybe they do it intentionally to sell their act. Perhaps they have to act like there is so much tension between them to convince viewers how it’s all very real and not just an act on ice. After all, if you look back on their other dances, it could suggest they really are a couple with Scott even planting a few kisses here and there.
We’ve all seen ice skaters. They move so gracefully on the ice, gliding and spinning with the occasional jumps and spins that continue to amaze audiences worldwide. Now that’s not to say it’s easy. Far from it. They take years of practice and dedication to get so good at it. But the thing about Tessa and Scott is that their chemistry together is what sells their dancing.
They exude a powerful tension and everyone knows it.
Just look at the way Scott holds on to Tessa. It doesn’t matter what her position is, or the angle in which she is to be lifted, he is literally hands on. And when he does, look how Tessa stares at her partner.
Now yes, they have gold medals and awards together at very prestigious events. They ARE that good. But really, most people care more about the story between Virtue and Moir.
The way she embraces him while dancing as he carries her through the ice is truly something else.
Naturally, their fans have been thirsting for the facts between the ice-melting duo. Well, when Scott and Tessa appeared on Ellen, they denied it. What they were doing for all those years was getting in to character and telling stories on ice. To say a lot of fans were disappointed is an understatement. They do look good together.
On September 17, 2019, everyone’s favorite couple on ice announced that they were stepping away and retiring.
In August of 2019. Scott announced he was engaged. And not to Tessa. It was a woman he’s been with all this time.
