A source earlier today had said that Karina moved out of Mario’s home, but the pair had not ever acknowledge they were having an intimate relationship, until today. In light of the rumor the pair had split, Karina has now confirmed they are a couple, and are in fact living together in Mario’s Los Angeles home.
Karina was also spotted recently dancing with Michael Yo at Beso. Karina took the opportunity to clarify her relationship with Yo:
“Michael and I have known each for a long time, and there’s nothing romantic whatsoever. He’s a great guy and I really respect him, but we’re just friends.”
She’s keeping her eye on the prize … Mario. Why hasn’t Mario said anything? Is he keeping his options open?
