Dancing With The Stars’ judge Carrie Ann Inaba and her boytoy of 2-1/2 years Artem Chigvintsev have split up.  Carrie Ann tells People:

“I’m single. Artem and I broke up in the beginning of November,” says Inaba, adding, “As much as our relationship was really good,” the two realized that neither “was ‘the one’ for the other. It was very sad to let go of something that was so good on so many levels.”

The 41 year old Inaba says that the 26 year old Artem is:

“a fine gentleman. I have never gone out with somebody that grounded, always ready to talk it out. I’m very happy for him and the success he’s having.”

Artem is part of the tour that is about to wrap up on February 8.  Dancing With The Stars airs on March 9!!!
