Former "Dancing with the Stars" lovers Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff have sparked speculation of a rekindled romance after sources claimed to have seen them canoodling during a night out in New York City. The twosome were seen enjoying dinner at Meatpacking District hotspot Bagatelle when the onlooker saw them getting close to each other.
"They were super-flirty and very happy, kissing and cuddling," the eyewitness told OK! magazine. After that the pair were seen heading for Kiss & Fly club for what was claimed as "after-dinner drinks."
Mario and Karina were partners on the third season of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars." They began dating after that but wouldn't officially confirm the status of their relationship. In between times, they were often hit with break up rumors which Karina once slammed, insisting she and Mario "are fine" adding that "everything's good. It's all good."
Following whirlwind romance, it was confirmed in early June 2008 that Mario and Karina have decided to end their almost-2-year-long relationship. A representative for her issued a statement, saying "Karina has parted ways with her two-year relationship with Mario Lopez. The relationship wasn't heading in the right direction."
As for Mario, he said through his representative that he and Karina "have the utmost respect for each other". He also praised her as "a phenomenal and talented woman" adding "I support her always and feel blessed to have her in my life."
Speculation that they have rekindled their romance remains unconfirmed as of press time.
