Karina & Mario Spending the Summer Apart

Mario Lopez had Dancing with the Stars gal-pal Karina Smirnoff, 30, on the brain at the Lucky Club Suites in NYC on May 12. While the actor and TV correspondent appeared excited at the various swag he picked up, it was one particular item he couldn't wait to take home to his lady love: some Cosabella lingerie!

"He said he and Karina watch Sex and the City in their underwear!" a spy tells OK!. "So he picked a bunch to take home."

But the pair may have to wait to celebrate in their undies. "I'm in New York doing A Chorus Line on Broadway, getting ready for the second season of America's Next Dance Crew and promoting a fitness book," Mario,34, told OK!. "I really don't have a free day until September."
