Carrie Ann Inaba is apparently in the market for a new dancing partner.

In a surprising move, the stunning Dancing with the Stars judge and her fiancé, accountant Jesse Sloan, quietly called off their engagement a few months ago.

"They decided early in the summer to break off their engagement and have remained friends," Inaba’s rep said in a statement.

Sloan, 40, famously proposed to Inaba, 44, on Live! With Regis and Kelly in March 2011, when she was filling in as a special co-host.

The former couple first met on an online dating service.

“I met him on eHarmony!” Inaba told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Access Hollywood Live in October 2011.

“I was dating all these younger guys. I was like, ‘Maybe I need to change it up a little,’” she said, at the time.

While creating her online profile, Inaba, at first, kept her identity a secret.

“I didn’t put up a picture, I didn’t put anything about who I was,” she said. “I was like, ‘You need to be sexy. I need to be attracted to you.’ I really put exactly what I wanted. ‘I love cats!’”
