Dancing With The Stars kicks off it’s new season Monday night on ABC – so what better way to drum up some publicity that by having DWTS’
ex-lovers Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff dance together at the Emmys Sunday night?

The pair, who broke off their engagement earlier this month, may not be entirely over. As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the couple was touchy-feely Saturday, holding each other at times, at the Lipton Green Tea VitaliTea gift lounge.

Chmerkovskiy teams up this season with Entourage's Debi Mazar, while Smirnoff's partner is teen idol Aaron Carter.
Chmerkovskiy and Smirnoff announced their engagement after just three months of dating, aiming for a June 2010 wedding; he proposed to the beautiful Smirnoff just before the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve, only six months after she split with her ex dancing partner, TV beefcake Mario Lopez.
Dancing With The Stars’ live, three-night premiere kicks off Monday at 8/7c on ABC.
