Karina Smirnoff is engaged! People.com reported that the Dancing With the Stars professional has been engaged to boyfriend Brad Penny since October 4th, and has been able to keep the good news under wraps. “We kept it quiet because my family is in New York and Brad’s family is in Oklahoma so we kind of wanted them to come out and celebrate and be a family first before we let the cat out of the bag,” she said. Smirnoff, 32, now rocks a 4.5 carat Asscher Cut diamond engagement ring, but has yet to start planning her big day. Smirnoff has been dating Penny, also 32, since October 2009. Penny played baseball for the St. Louis Cardinals last year, and the couple was introduced to each other by a mutual friend, UFC fighter Chuck Liddell.
