The dancers on Dancing With The Stars are getting to be as famous as the celebrities they’re partnered with, but sadly it looks like the power couple of the show, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff, have decided to call it quits. The couple was engaged on January 1st of this year and planned to wed in June, 2010, but due to their hectic rehearsal schedules, they could barely make time to plan the wedding.
Smirnoff told E Online earlier this summer, “The only thing we’ve decided on is next year in June. We were supposed to pick the place, but we’ve never actually had the time to go further.” The couple has been busy dancing in “Burn The Floor” on Broadway while also prepping for season 9 of DWTS. Prior to dating Chmerkovskiy, Smirnoff was involved for two years with Mario Lopez, a former contestant on the show. If this trend continues, we expect her to start dating Tom DeLay any minute now.
