Feb.22, 2010--confirm to PEOPLE exclusively that they`ve been dating since last summer.
"We became good friends and have become really close since then," says Lysacek. The two attended the ESPYs together last July and the relationship picked up steam after that, they say.
In August, Lysacek went to Dallas to cheer on Liukin during her gymnastics comeback at the U.S. Nationals. "It was cool but nerve-racking watching her compete – to be on the balance beam like that? For me, it`s easier to do it then watch it," says Lysacek, 24.
The couple switched roles this week when Liukin, 20, traveled to Vancouver to root for Lysacek. "To see his dreams come true was amazing," Liukin says. "Even though we`re not in the same sport, we got to connect at the same level because there`s nothing like the Olympics. It was nice to be on other side of things and be the support system, but I was nervous."
"She been so helpful to me," adds Lysacek. "She has been through it herself. If I`m having a bad day, she tells me to have faith and to keep going. Sometimes your support system has more faith in you than yourself. And when she tells me things are going to be fine, I really believe it."
