Two hot Dancing with the Stars instructors Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff have found their groove off the dance floor. Karina Smirnoff, who had previously been linked to her celebrity dance partner Mario Lopez for two years – and Chmerkovskiy, who at one point was linked briefly to fellow celebrity dance partner Willa Ford, found love recently after Smirnoff's split with Lopez. The two have reportedly known each other for 15 years, but did not hook up until recently.

The couple were engaged on New Year's Eve, between their DWTS tour dates in Salt Lake City and Tulsa, Oklahoma. A wedding date has not been announced, but the pair will both be returning to the ABC show in March.

Chmerkovskiy reportedly sealed the deal with a Harry Winston ring.
