Maksim Chmerkovskiy Actually Likes Denise Richards

at .

Denise Richards stars in one of the most pathetic reality shows in television history, Denise Richards: It's Complicated.

However, Maksim Chmerkovskiy - her partner on season eight of Dancing with the Stars - says the actress herself is very simple.

“She is so kind,” the studly dancer told People. "I am not a morning person - our rehearsals are early for me, at 9 a.m. Denise brings me a fresh cup of coffee to practice every day. Sometimes she’ll make a nice sandwich for me and bring it from home."

Chmerkovskiy also claims Richards is focused on the task at hand.

“Denise is so dedicated to this show,” he said. “I don’t see any difference between how hard she works compared to working with [past partners] Misty [May-Treanor] and Laila [Ali]."

We admit, the actress does work hard... at exploiting her children every chance she gets!
