Both of them are on Ice Partner Search. Although Danil's hasn't been updated recently.
It looks like a case of "we are splitting, but to avoid getting competition rusty, we may as well continue skating together until one or both of us get sorted out with a new partner".
Reminds me a lot of the situation with Martin Bidař in Pairs last season. He had a new partnership with Anna Valesi lined up, but continued competing with Barbora Kucianová until Anna's embargo ended.
It'll be interesting to see what the body language is like between Irmak and Danil during this period when they are competing together while looking for new partners. Because it was not good between Barbora and Martin last season.

Wow!
I was expecting to be losing my older Pairs partnership to retirement, but I was not expecting to lose my younger Pairs partnership too. Zarah and Alex splitting was the last thing I would have imagined happening.
Such a shame. I really liked them.
It has been a pleasure to have been their adoptive Daddy on here.
I wish both of them all the best for the future.
By the way, the newest of my Pairs partnerships, Vayana Hristova / Axel Ahmed (FRA), are due to make their international debut at Skate Berlin later this month. They had just been doing small domestic events since they got together.

The Provisional Entry Lists for Skate Berlin were updated a few days ago, and Irmak YÜCEL / Danil PAK (TUR) have been removed:

So, maybe they haven't got back together after all.

Madison Tong and Michael Boutsan (Ice Dance, Canada) have split. She's on Ice Partner Search.
Michael is on NEXXICE Junior, so he may be concentrating on Synchro instead of finding a new partner.

So that means what about Michael Boutsan ? It seems like he has had many partners since Youth Olympics
I hit post before finishing by accident
. Michael joined NEXXICE Junior this season and he's had good success with it (National Champions with a new Canadian record). He may want to concentrate on it over Ice Dance.
