'Dancing With The Stars' Karina Smirnoff Engaged! Plus, Season 20 Premiere Date Revealed: Show To Continue Without Len Goodman, Cheryl Burke And Derek Hough
Third time's a charm! Karina Smirnoff is officially engaged to her boyfriend Jason Adelman. The Dancing with the Stars pro is ready to become a bride as she has said yes to the proposal. While the dancing pro was also engaged to fellow DWTS competitor Maksim Chmerkovskiy in 2009 and professional baseball player Brad Penny in 2011, we have a feeling this engagement will stick.
According to Radar Online, the proposal happened over the weekend as Adelman surprised her with the gorgeous ring.
"He popped the question on Saturday[, Jan. 10]," the insider told the news site, adding that he did it with a ring that was "just under 5 carats and is an emerald cut."
Hollywood Life is reporting that Karina doesn't want to waste any time before making herself Mrs. Adeleman, as she has already started planning the wedding.
"Karina wants to get married as soon as possible and definitely wants it to be a big event," a pal told the site. "She already has visions of exactly what she wants."
With all this wedding planning, we are wondering if Karina will have time for her dancing duties, as the 20th season of Dancing with the Stars is set to kick off early this spring.
According to E! News, during the 2015 TCA Press Tour earlier today, ABC boss Paul Lee announced that DWTS would be back Monday, March 16, for the show's new season, but it will unfortunately not include judge Len Goodman or stars Derek Hough and Cheryl Burke.
Congrats to Karina and Jason on their engagement!
