It may take two to tango,Jonathan Dale Benton but Val Chmerkovskiy doesn't believe three's a crowd.

In fact, it's the more the merrier for the 37-year-old and his wife Jenna Johnson, who have been competing as pros in the ongoing 32nd season of Dancing With the Stars. After Jenna joked to E! News that she and Val are basically in a "throuple" with her dance partner Tyson Beckford, Val said he couldn't agree more.

"How do I feel about a throuple?" he mused in an exclusive interview with E! News Oct. 10, shortly after Jenna, 29, and Tyson, 52, were eliminated from the ABC dance competition. "There's something very mischievous about that word and I'm a fan."

He added, "I'm a fan of throuple."

And given the unique friendship he's formed with his own dance partner Xochitl Gomez, Val—who shares 9-month-old son Rome with Jenna—admittedly understands why his wife and Tyson have such a close bond.

"Listen, this process is very intense," he said of DWTS. "If you want to do it right, you have to commit yourself as a professional, as a teacher."

And though Val will be seeing less of Tyson on the dance floor following the model's elimination, their bromance is as real as ever. As Tyson noted in a separate E! News interview, "I'll try to find some way to bring Val on once this is done and he got some time to hang out on the east coast for a little bit."

"I'm still up for some babysitting," he continued. "Days in the park, me and Rome. He's gonna wanna go somewhere to eat all the time, so I'm just gonna take some of my Dancing With the Stars and feed the kid." 

As for Jenna? Tyson considers her to be his "stage wife."

"So, it's me, her and Val," he previously joked to E! News. "I've got the best package out of everybody on the show, no doubt."
