On Monday night, Audrina was shown crying in rehearsal footage and being comforted by partner, Tony Dovolani, because it was difficult juggling DWTS with her relationship with the BMX rider. And after the show, she elaborated on what caused the waterworks: “My boyfriend and I were fighting and I was trying to come into the studio and block it all out and then Tony is telling me all these nice things and I just got teary-eyed.”

The Hills beauty says she and Corey talked it out: “Now my boyfriend understands that this means so much to me and I’m not going to let anything get in the way of it.”

Audrina says DWTS training is so intense that she doesn’t want Corey to visit at the studio. “When I’m in rehearsal, I just want to focus. Little things distract me. I’m not comfortable with my clothes or anything. All my focus needs to be on the dance.”

Tony told OK! Audrina can make more time for Corey “after the season’s over. This is such a special time for her.” Audrina added, “this is a one-time shot. I’m discovering myself, becoming a stronger woman and Tony is helping me. He’s a big brother.”
