Is Karina Smirnoff waltzing into a relationship with a Wedding Crasher?

According to Life & Style, after calling off her engagement to Detroit Tigers pitcher Brad Penny, the Dancing With the Stars vixen has started going out with Owen Wilson and a romance is heating up between them. The report doesn't sound too far off considering the actor recently split with baby mama Jade Duell.

But is this pairing for real? Well, E! News has taken the rumor out for a spin and can definitively say it's…

So false!

A source close to Karina tells E! News that the dancer is not dating Owen.

"There is nothing there," says the insider. "They ran into each other once randomly. They are friends but not dating at all."

Glad we could put that one to rest.

Before dropping Penny like he was hot, the 34-year-old Smirnoff had previously been engaged to her fellow DWTS hoofer Maksim Chmerkovskiy. The 43-year-old Wilson meanwhile broke things off with Duell in June five months after she gave birth to their son, Robert Ford.
