T.V. Guide posed a few questions, check out their answers.

TV GUIDE: When did you first notice each other?

Maks: When we were kids and she walked into the dance studio for the first time. I didn’t know what it was about her that I was noticing, but there were definitely sparks.

Karina: I’ve known Maks for about 15 years, but he was always a friend to me. We were never simultaneously single until the last season of Dancing. When we saw each other after summer break, something was different.

TV GUIDE: Describe each other’s sexiest feature.

Maks: Karina’s eyes-they’re always saying something.

Karina: Well, I’m biased since I love all his features, but the one that I like the most is his rear end.  It’s perfectly firm and perky!

TV GUIDE: Finish this sentence: “My partner is sexiest when…”

Maks: When she’s happy, when she’s angry, when she’s sad, when she’s frustrated, when she’s being goofy….She’s the sexiest woman I’ve ever met.

Karina: When he is cooking a surprise dinner for me while dorkishly dancing around the kitchen.

Oh to be a fly on their wall!
