Mario Denies Karina Split: "It's All Good"
Fame Pictures, Inc.
Karina Smirnoff and Mario Lopez aren't ready to end their pas de deux just yet.
Despite recent reports claiming the couple had called their relationship quits—and that she was moving out of his L.A. home—the Dancing With the Stars finalist tells E! News correspondent and DWTS cohost Samantha Harris, "Mario and I are fine. Everything's good."
That sentiment was echoed by a follow-up email from Lopez , who's in New York for his role in Broadway's Chorus Line: "It's all good."
The camera-friendly couple has been linked ever since meeting as partners during the third season of ABC's reality series.
And despite reports of cohabitation and snapshots of romantic vacations, the two have never publicly acknowledged their relationship—except to do damage control.
Lopez recently addressed rumors that Smirnoff was romantically linked to her current DWTS partner, R&B star Mario.
"He’s a great guy—really respectful, really cool, and I’m glad Karina got him as a partner. And I think they’re gonna go all the way and they’re gonna do great," he told E! News' Ryan Seacrest.
That's called keeping your eye on the prize at all costs.
