Dancing with the Stars alum Karina Smirnoff was seen with Kris Jenner in Los Angeles on Monday and her baby bump has grown big. The 42-year-old professional dancer was seen with Kris Jenner and her boyfriend Corey Gamble heading to the Woodland Hills dance studio. Karina was dressed in a black top and a pair of black leggings as well as black boots. Her hair was pushed back into a ponytail and she wore a long jacket and carried her stuff on her back.
The dancing star announced last year that she was pregnant with her first child. She had told the PEOPLE that she was excited about being a mom and also posted on Instagram a photo of her holding pregnancy test results as she displayed the peace sign. She captioned the Instagram post saying she was grateful that she would be having someone to train on the dance floor with and said that Baby Smirnoff would be arriving in 2020. She added that since it was the holiday season, she would donate $5k to support pregnant women and their families.
According to Dailymail, Karina had told the people that she had always wanted to be a mother as well as a wife. She said that she was excited to start a new chapter in her life. She admitted to having several emotions running through her such as nervousness and excitement and was overwhelmed with the happiness of being a mom. She said that she wanted to live for her child and give him/her everything that she has.
Although Karina dreams of having a family someday, she has kept the identity of her child's father a top-secret. She has had several relationships and even engagements in the past. She was once engaged to baseball star Brad Penny, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and Jason Adelman. Karina dated Mario Lopez in 2006 and they later broke up in 2008 citing Mario's infidelity. In 2008, she started seeing co-dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy and even got engaged in New Year's Eve but broke up nine months later.
Just a month after splitting with Maksim, Karina started dating baseball player Brad Penny and was engaged a year later. However, they broke the engagement in 2011 because they felt that they weren't compatible. Karina decided to stay alone for some time after the heartbreaks until she met Jason Adelman and started their relationship in 2014 that led to their engagement a year later. However, the engagement didn't last since it was called off after two months. Although she currently keeps her romantic life private, we know that she is going to be the best mom to her baby.
