The “Dancing With the Stars” Ukrainian born Maksim Chmerkovskiy had been once engaged to fellow reality star Karina Smirnoff and stepped out with Sports Illustrated cover girl Kate Upton.
NYDN reports, now Maks tells that after news of his dalliance with Jennifer Lopez hit the press a month ago, things hit a new level. NYDN broke the news last month that J.Lo had moved on with Chmerkovskiy after ending her relationship with Casper Smart, following claims by a series of transgender models about affairs with the choreographer. Maks and Lopez were then spotted together at Connecticut nightclub Shrine.
Speaking about his relationship with Lopez for the first time, Maks said, “With the Jennifer thing, look, we’re friends and … we’re friends. This is it. This is where it ends, pretty much.”
“I now understand why Hollywood is such a difficult place to have a good relationship in: because there’s all these interferences. Two people have to be so strong — and notice I didn’t say ‘in love.’ They have to be in love, but trust me, there’ve been situations when two people have been really in love, and all of this gets in the way and it completely ruins it.”
But sources tell us the pair remain in daily contact, although their schedules prevent them from spending lots of time together.
