Maksim Chmerkovskiy (Maks) and Karina Smirnoff Engaged

Dancing with the Stars pros Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are about to waltz their way down the aisle – Maksim “Maks” Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff are engaged!
And – so adorable – Maks and Karina got engaged just before the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve.
Question is – when did the two start dating? After all, Karina Smirnoff had a public relationship with Mario Lopez, and the two ended their two-year relationship just six months ago.
Maks Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff reportedly started dating during the recent DWTS tour. No details yet have been revealed about a wedding date.
Both Maks and Karina return to the eight season of Dancing with the Stars when it starts March 9.

I didn’t even know they were dateing. That seems fast but good for them. After being hurt and cheated on, Karina deserves to be happy. Eat your heart out Mario Lopez.

I think he could do much better. She is nothing but a poor sport on the show and a snot. She doesn’t take criticism well.
