- Val and his season 19 partner Janel Parrish hold the record for the earliest perfect score, receiving it during week 3 (matched by Bethany Mota & Derek Hough later in the same show).
- Val and his season 23 partner, Despite having 8 perfect scores according to the judges' 40-point scale in season 23 (Week 4, 5, 8 & 10 dances and scores not included)in fact also with no 4th judge in those weeks the perfect scores are excluded (only have 4 perfect scores)week 9 & 11

Personal life
Chmerkovskiy is a co-owner of six competitive dance studios under the brand "Dance With Me".[17] Five are in the New York metropolitan area (Glen Rock and Fort Lee in New Jersey, Glen Head, Long Island, SoHo, Manhattan and Stamford, Connecticut) and one is in Sherman Oaks, California.[2][18]
In 2016, Chmerkovskiy posted a meme of a girl drinking soda, which had previously gone viral in 2014, with the caption "Letting your kid become obese should be considered child abuse."[19][20][21] The family of the girl in the picture, who has Down syndrome, then sued Chmerkovskiy seeking $6 million for defamation, emotional distress, and invasion of privacy.[21] Chmerkovskiy deleted the post.[19]
