(April 29) - "Dancing With the Stars" pro Karina Smirnoff denies she has split from Mario Lopez.

"We're going on strong," she told PEOPLE on Tuesday. "As much as I love and appreciate the attention, this isn’t true." She adds: "For the record, I am not moving out. Everything is great."

The professional dancer, who is featured on ABCs 'Dancing With the Stars,' was paired with the former 'Saved By the Bell' hunk during the third season of the hit reality show, and they quietly began dating.

The pair were even living together, although they never acknowledged their relationship publicly.

Sources reported early this week that the couple had split, and that Smirnoff moved out of the home.

Kinda COLD of Kanye West to dump his girlfriend after SIX years. It means she was with him during the LEAN TIMES. I don't buy the "tour and music" excuse. You can ALWAYS find time when you TRULY LOVE someone. I think he wants his freedom so he can PLAY. Although it is much better to break up with her than to CHEAT on her, so I do give him credit for that, but be honest about why!

I really enjoy dwts....I think that just cause they dance all evil minds come out. the couple I think were real cute together and I mind you would've liked to see them coupled up is Julanne and Helio. they were real sweet together but asusal people have to make up goofy things and that drives them apart.I know she is young but how many yrs can she be 19.ever since the show started, so I guess that is her secereity blanket .I still think she and Helio
