Former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Mario Lopez has split from his girlfriend, professional dancer Karina Smirnoff. The two became a couple during the third season of "Dancing With the Stars."

According to People.com, the pair recently split. They were living in Lopez's Los Angeles home, but Smirnoff is now moving out. During their relationship, they never publicly acknowledged their relationship.

The show "Dancing With the Stars" has been known to start a relationship or two. Now speculation is running high on dance partners Shannon Elizabeth and professional dancer Derek Hough, especially after the two shared what looked like a kiss on the beach last week.

Host Samantha Harris asked the couple if they were in fact a couple after their dance this week. While waiting for the dance scores Hough joked around, but wouldn't give Harris a straight answer.
