“Dancing With the Stars” duo Karina Smirnoff & Maksim Chmerkovskiy have recently called off their wedding engagement.

According to Maksim’s Twitter page the short engagement was just a chapter in his life, saying, “What was meant to be a ‘life long book’, turned into a ‘chapter’…….and now that ‘chapter’ is finished…… Se la vie….”

Karina and Maks were engaged in January this year after Maks proposed in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve.
