'Dancing' pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff break-up
"I am confirming that they did indeed break up," Sminoff's representative told E! News Tuesday.
The Dancing with the Stars professionals began dating last summer following Smirnoff's breakup with Mario Lopez -- her dancing partner on the show's third season. They subsequently got engaged last New Year's Eve.
When asked by E! News on Tuesday for the reason behind the break-up, Chmerkovskiy said it was a "little personal."
"It's a little rough right now," he told E! News outside West Hollywood's 3rd Street Dance Studio.
Smirnoff and Chmerkovskiy made their Broadway debut last month in Burn the Floor and are also scheduled to dance at the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards on September 20, which E! News confirmed they intend to follow through with.
With both of those commitments on-top of training for Dancing with the Stars' upcoming ninth season, the couple recently told E! News they had decided to delay their wedding until next summer.
"The only thing we've decided on is next year in June," Karina told E! News at the time. "We were supposed to pick the place, but we've never actually had the time to go further... As long as we're together, tying the knot is a plus. It's something extra."
Dancing with the Stars ninth season will premiere with a two-hour performance episode on Monday, September 21 at 8PM ET/PT. Chmerkovskiy is partnered with actress Debi Mazar, while Smirnoff will be competing with singer Aaron Carter.

Our 1st injury.....
Tom DeLay suffers foot injury during 'Dancing with the Stars' practice
By Christopher Rocchio, 09/16/2009
So much for Dancing with the Stars' new training safety measures to help its celebrity participants avoid injury before the season starts.
"Old age is catching up to me, may have a stress fracture in my foot," indicted former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay posted Tuesday on his Twitter page, adding he wasn't too concerned about the possible injury.
"No worries, it'll take more than that to keep me off the dance floor!"

A Dancing with the Stars representative subsequently confirmed the injury to People and added the 62-year-old DeLay was having his foot examined in Los Angeles.
Despite the scare, DeLay apparently received good news following the exam.
"No stress fracture," he posted on his Twitter page on Tuesday afternoon. "It's a pre-stress fracture. I live for another day."
DeLay will compete with two-time mirror ball trophy winner Cheryl Burke when Dancing with the Stars ninth season premieres next Monday at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
It was Burke who last month revealed that Dancing with the Stars producers had implemented new rules to help curtail injuries to its celebrity participants.
"There's a rule now that we're not allowed to train for more than five hours a day for the first two weeks," Burke told E! News at the time. "After every two hours, you have to have a 30-minute break. And we have to have one full day off a week."
Injuries plagued Dancing with the Stars eighth season this past spring, as singer Jewel and Access Hollywood co-anchor Nancy O'Dell were both forced to withdraw prior to the premiere after sustaining serious injuries while training for the reality dance competition.
In addition, Sex and the City star Gilles Marini injured his groin and subsequently needed surgery to repair a shoulder injury; Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak fractured his foot and was forced to wear a cast; and Steven "Steve-O" Glover suffered nerve damage in his back.

Dancing with the Stars will honor Patrick Swayze on its Sept. 23 live results show, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.
“We have some very fond memories of [the late actor] coming to help us our when we were a tiny little show way back when,” Dancing’s executive producer Conrad Green says.
Swayze, who died of pancreatic cancer on Monday at the age of 57, made a guest appearance on Dancing’s inaugural U.S. season in 2005, teaching friend and fellow actor John O’Hurley a few dance moves in rehearsal. He also came to the show and supported O’Hurley by attending the season 1 finale.
“He was one of the few people to integrate dance with being an A-list actor,” Green says. “He inspired many people and many of our pros to dance. We want to honor the great moments he’s brought to film by getting our dancers to do their interpretation to some music from his films.” –Monica Rizzo
