UPDATE: It’s now being reported that Maksim dumped the “high maintenance” Karina over the weekend.

Wow. Wow.

If Tom DeLay had you turning off Dancing with the Stars next season, this bit of news may have you turning back in. After nine months of engagement, Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have broken up.

The dancing professionals - who recently performed together in Broadway’s Burn the Floor - had been scheduled to marry in June 2010. The wedding would have come a year and a half after Maksim popped the question.

Back in January, Maksim, 28, and Karina 31, dished on the details of his New Year’s Eve proposal. Looking back—should we known something was wrong when he said, “I’ve been with a lot of women”?

Aside from a confirmation from Smirnoff’s rep, no other statement has been released on the split. Both dancers are expected to compete on the upcoming season of DWTS and have since requested separate dressing rooms.

And we thought Karina had a sour face before…
