Chmerkovskiy apologized to Lachey on Twitter on Wednesday after he skipped Monday night's DWTS due to what co-host Erin Andrews called a "personal issue." A source later told ET that he actually refused to rehearse with Lachey earlier in the week, forcing Alan Bersten to fill in for him. 

According to ET's source, however, switching partners permanently isn't an option. 

"The producers wouldn't switch partners because two people aren’t getting along, it’s just par for the course," the source said. "Drama is expected and part of the show. When you train with someone for so many hours so intensely, tensions can run high -- for better or worse. In this case, the intensity led to bickering."

"He realizes that he messed up," the source claimed. "Vanessa isn’t afraid to stand up to him. She’s a very strong woman."
