Despite a people.com report, Dancing With the Stars' Karina Smirnoff says she and beau Mario Lopez haven't called it quits.
"You know, everybody goes through ups and downs in their relationships," she told Usmagazine.com in a telephone interview Tuesday. "That’s kind of a given, and it’s normal. But Mario and I are going strong."
Lopez, she said, "is a great guy, and I support him 100 percent, and I know he supports me.
"We are totally fine - and I'm not moving out!" she added. "You guys will be the first to know if I'm moving out."
Smirnoff met the actor on the third season of the hit ABC show when he was a contestant.
In March, Smirnoff told Us "there is nothing" to rumors she's hooking up with her current DWTS partner, R&B singer Mario.
"We have a completely professional relationship," she told Us. "I have a lot of respect for Mario. He is a great person."
Lopez told Us just two weeks ago that the rumor was "funny."
The actor, best known for his role in the '90s show Saved By the Bell, is currently starring in Broadway's A Chorus Line.
