...while on vacation together in Mexico AFTER spending Thanksgiving together at Mario's sister's house!
Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff are still standing by the story that the two are just friends. He does however categorize his friendship as "a very special relationship". I am glad that the two of them can have a good time together. But I just can't get over what he did to Ali Landry.

"We're definitely overdue for a break," Lopez, 33, told PEOPLE while sitting knee-to-knee with Smirnoff during a celebrity stopover in San Antonio's Club Posh. "I want to take a little time off, go to Mexico." "It's very flattering when people want to see us together and like to see us be together," he said about the romantic sparks that viewers saw as the two sambaed their way to a second-place finish this month on Dancing. "We're great friends and very supportive of each other." (source)
