Karina quickly coupled up with baseball star Brad Penny, and now those two are engaged!
Karina Smirnoff and Brad Penny (Bauer Griffin)Brad got down on one knee and popped the question back on October 4, reports People.com, but the two wanted to keep their engagement on the DL until now so they could celebrate quietly with close friends and family.
The proposal was orchestrated by Brad and Karina's manager, who told the dancing queen that he had arranged a meeting between her and the president of Twitter at a super swanky restaurant.
Karina recalled: "We went to this restaurant and [my manager] got on her phone and said 'this guy is killing me,' and got up and walked away, Then Brad walked in and it still didn't register. He got down on one knee and he opened the box and I said, 'Thank you'. I honestly didn't expect it." Too cute!
Karina showed off her gorgeous 4.5 carat Asscher Cut diamond engagement ring last night at the 5-year anniversary party of Tao in Las Vegas, though her hubby-to-be wasn't able to make it. Instead, he sent her a hand-written note inside a fortune cookie, and included a diamond necklace for good measure! OMG.
