Are DWTS’ Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Erin Andrews Dating?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Dating, Videos, Rumors,
Although she’s used to delivering the tough questions, ESPN’s Erin Andrews had a hard time answering them last night.
After her Week 2 performance on Dancing with the Stars, the ballroom competitor was asked twice about rumors she is dating partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. The first time, she either completely misunderstood the question or tried to blow it off completely. The second time, she opted to go with the witty response.
“I think Maks is romantically involved with himself, don’t we all know that?” she told the photographer.
Note to all the secret lovers out there: If you don’t want people to believe the gossip, just try saying “No.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Break-ups,

UPDATE: It’s now being reported that Maksim dumped the “high maintenance” Karina over the weekend.
Wow. Wow.
If Tom DeLay had you turning off Dancing with the Stars next season, this bit of news may have you turning back in. After nine months of engagement, Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have broken up.
The dancing professionals - who recently performed together in Broadway’s Burn the Floor - had been scheduled to marry in June 2010. The wedding would have come a year and a half after Maksim popped the question.

Engagement for DWTS’ Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Engagements,
To call these dancers “quick movers” would be an understatement.
Although they’ve only been together for less than six months, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff are now officially engaged. The two Dancing with the Stars competitors - who have known each other for about 15 years - began dating shortly after Smirnoff, 30, ended her relationship with Mario Lopez last summer.
According to sources, Maksim, 28, popped the question to Karina on New Year’s Eve while they were celebrating in Las Vegas. The proposal happened in between stops of their DWTS tour. (Both dancers are expected to participate in the next season of the ABC show when it returns on March 9.)

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff: DWTS’ Latest Couple
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Hook-ups,


Over the past seven seasons, Dancing with the Stars has had its share of interesting relationships. We’ve seen celebrity/instructor couplings (Sabrina Bryan/Mark Ballas, Mario Lopez/Karina Smirnoff, Shannon Elizabeth/Derek Hough), married pros (Alec Mazo/Edyta Sliwinska, Jonathan Roberts/Anna Trebunskaya), father/son competitors (Corky Ballas/Mark Ballas) and sibling rivalries (Julianne Hough/Derek Hough). But we haven’t yet heard of any romances between the ballroom professionals, at least up until now.
