By: Shannon Gossage

Lopez, 34, and Smirnoff, 30, have reportedly called it quits on their relationship. The couple never really commented on the status of their relationship even though Smirnoff has reportedly been living with Lopez in his Los Angeles home. A source said that she is in the process of moving out of the house. In March it was rumored that Smirnoff was secretly romancing her latest Dancing with the Stars partner, singer Mario. Both Mario and Smirnoff denied the romance rumors and claimed to be only friends. Now she has reportedly been spotted getting cozy with E! Entertainment’s Michael Yo. The two were reportedly spotted together looking more than friendly at the Hollywood hotspot Beso. Lopez’s rep has said, "It’s my policy to not comment on my client’s personal life."

Lopez and Smirnoff met during season 3 of DWTS when they were partners. They quickly hit it off and began seeing each other outside the dance studio. As for the latest break-up rumors, Smirnoff reportedly told E! News correspondent and DWTS co-host Samantha Harris, "Mario and I are fine. Everything’s good." He reportedly agreed with Smirnoff in a recent email to E! that read, "It’s all good."

Lopez has been keeping pretty busy these days. He recently hosted the MTV reality show Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew and is currently starring in the Broadway production of A Chorus Line. He also recently taped a synchronized number with 18 Chorus Line dancers for DWTS 100th episode which is set to air on May 6. Lopez is getting ready to go on a national tour to promote his new book Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness. Smirnoff is starring on season 6 of DWTS.
