Dancing with the Stars judge Carrie Anne Inaba has split from her boyfriend Artem Chigvintsev.
Inaba tells People the couple broke up in November after both realized that the other was not "the one".
Inaba calls the breakup amicable and praises her ex for being "a fine gentleman". She says, "I have never gone out with somebody that grounded, always ready to talk it out. I'm very happy for him and the success he's having."
Inaba, 41, first met Chigvintsev, 26, several years ago, while he was competing on the FOX reality show So You Think You Can Dance. The two began dating in 2006.
