Karina Smirnoff is engaged to Brad Penny!

Karina Smirnoff got engaged to Brad Penny on October 4th! Penny is a 32-year-old St. Louis Cardinal pitcher and they started dating in early 2010. Their wedding could be as soon as the New Year.

Karina was engaged to her Dancing with the Star's colleague, Maksim Chmerkovskiy. That engagement lasted only nine months. Hope this one means happiness at last. Congrats Karina!

I don't know if this is good news for people hoping for a Karina and Slavik reunion. I this it's going to be hard for her to balance her popularity in Hollywood, a marriage and a come back to the dance world. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that it will happen.

Check out her ring!

Loved Slavik and Karina together as partners!
