DISHING DIVA! Karina Smirnoff — Kate Upton’s Romantic Rivalry?

By Dishing Diva | July 4, 2013 | Dish!, Entertainment

Could a new Broadway show spell romantic trouble for new couple Maksim Chermnoskiy and Kate Upton?

On July 9, The Dancing With the Stars alum will be steaming up the dance floor in Forever Tango with his ex-fiance Karina Smirnoff.

The former couple, who have known each other since they were hoofing it in competitive dance as teens, had a whirlwind affair while starring in Broadway’s Burn the Floor back in 2009, but broke off their 9-month engagement. Is Kate afraid the dance floor will lure Maks back into KarinaΓÇÖs arms?

Sources tell the DivaGals the buxom model has nothing to worry about.
Karina and Maks have had their ups and downs, but they remain cordial. While they both realize that they do create chemistry on the dance floor, Karina has made it very clear to friends that theyΓÇÖll “never, ever get back together,” Karina has said.

Karina, who just finished starring in new movie Across Grace Alley that was directed by her DWTS partner Ralph Macchio, is eager to get back on the dance floor with Maks, but strictly as friends.

The girl with the bodacious bod, thanks to all her hours devoted to dancing, is spending the Fourth on a plane to New York City to gear up for her return to the Great White Way.
