Maksim and Karina: What Went Wrong?
Originally posted 09/09/2009 05:05PM
For many in show biz it's the time spent apart that kills a relationship. But for Dancing With the Stars pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff, who split last weekend, the opposite proved true.
"They both knew when they had been spending more time together recently things weren't going so well," a source close to Smirnoff tells PEOPLE. "She's not devastated but it obviously hurts, she's angry. She'll always love him and respect him but she always knew in heart of hearts from the beginning of their relationship that he wasn't the one for her."
Chmerkovskiy, 29, and Smirnoff, 31, who had gotten engaged on New Year's Day in Las Vegas, couldn't get past a major hurdle: they didn't see eye-to-eye when it came to children, pals say
