After some early rumors (that I didn’t pass on because the sources didn’t seem reliable), it would appear that rumors concerning Dancing with the Stars couple Karina Smirnoff and Mario Lopez are true. The couple have ended their relationship. Rumors started circulating back in April, but both denied the rumors and were seen together after that so it appeared to be just that – rumors, but now it appears to be true. Though the couple had been together for two years – even moving it together, it appears that they are now going their separate ways. Though I’ve not found why, I have found quotes from Mario about how he respects and wishes Karina the best of luck so it appears that this is a friendly separation.
