From Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff to Derek Hough and Shannon Elizabeth, Dancing With the Stars has always been a place for single stars to strike up a romance with their professional dance partners. But the newly announced cast of the hit ABC show will test the limits of three —yes, 3 — already established couples.
