...If the DA was romantically involved with counsel for a defendant, that could be a problem--each party could question whether they were getting effective representation. But if the romantic involvement is between two lawyers working together on the same side of the same case, I don't see the conflict. It doesn't seem to be a problem if they are married; why is it a problem if they aren't married?
