Dancers Karina Smirnoff, left, and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have split according to a rep for Smirnoff.
The Stars‘ Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff have called off their engagement with dancing. It was Breaking News to People.com, and newsworthy enough for an Update by E! Online’s Marc Malkin, who reports that the duo will fulfill their obligation and dance together at this month’s Emmys (but have now requested separate dressing rooms). With EW’s Dancing With the Stars expert Annie Barrett out of the office, I thought I’d be able to get through the day without having an actual conversation about the break up. Jessica Shaw and I, however, just had an impromptu meeting in the ladies’ room about it (her initial response: “Duh”).
"I can confirm that this is true," the rep says. No reason was given and the rep says no further statement would be issued. Chmerkovskiy's rep didn't immediately comment.
Smirnoff, 31, and Chmerkovskiy, 28, who became engaged in December, had planned on getting married in June 2010, but prolonged their engagement in July because of their busy Broadway schedules.
"We're not rushing," Smirnoff said at the time. "As long as we're together, tying the knot is a plus, it's something extra."
