Coming Soon: Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff Reality Show, Divorce

at .

Why, oh why, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff?!?

The pair, who seems to be happy together, are setting their relationship up for failure by agreeing to star on a reality show.

The engaged Dancing with the Stars duo haven't fully agreed to a contract yet, but the series would premiere in the fall and would follow the couple's bi-coastal, wedding-planning lives. Sounds... exciting?

“We haven’t signed on the dotted line yet, but hopefully it’s going to premiere this fall," Smirnoff told Life & Style. "The show’s just us trying to have a normal relationship being in the entertainment industry and opening a studio together.”

Right. Because, as Jon and Kate Gosselin - among countless others - have proved, shows that follow "normal relationships" always turn out well for the couple.
