Maksim Chmerkovskiy & Kristie Alley Tension: Former Partners Break Ties

Maksim Chmerkovskiy is no longer on speaking terms with 'Dancing With the Stars' partner Kirstie Alley.

On the July 29 episode of Andy Cohen's 'Watch What Happens Live', the 34-year old dancer revealed that he no longer communicates with his former dancing partner after the show's host asked if Chmerkovskiy is getting along with Alley.

"Until recently... she stopped getting along with me. I think the world of her. I'm not judging people by their religion. I'm Jewish. I don't really believe in science fiction, whatever," said Chmerkovskiy.

Chmerkovskiy and Alley were partners in the twelfth season of the show 'Dancing With the Stars'. The pair's relationship developed rhythmically and physically. In one of the episodes that aired on March 2011, the pair even shared a passionate kiss after performing a routine.

"We had a great relationship. I thought we had a great relationship," admits Chmerkovskiy.

Chmerkovskiy also revealed that a mutual friend relayed a message from Alley as to why the former dance partners are no longer in touch with each other. "Now that I'm associating with other people, that [she said] she can't be associated with, I am no longer to be spoken with," he said.

Meanwhile, the host also mentioned Leah Remini during the interview. Remini, who also had a rift with Alley, is best friends with Jenifer Lopez with whom Chmerkovskiy has been recently linked romantically.

"I saw you at the birthday party the other night. Leah Remini said you're not together, but everybody keeps reporting that you're together," Cohen said to Chmerkovskiy.

Chmerkovskiy then replied, "Well, [Leah]'s the authority on everything J.Lo, so we should listen."

Lopez and Chmerkovskiy were reported to be "super cute" together at Lopez's 45th birthday party on July 24.
