Report: Mark Ballas and Pia Toscano Split

By Katelyn Mullen Posted May 13th 2011 06:01PM

It was the very definition of a whirlwind romance, and sadly it looks to be over. According to HollywoodLife.com, the 'American Idol' castoff Pia Toscano and her 'Dancing With the Stars' boyfriend Mark Ballas have called it quits.

Toscano is quoted as saying, "You know, he is so busy and I am so busy, we really are just friends! He is a wonderful person, who comes from a wonderful family! I'm really rooting for him..."

The relationship was nothing if not brief. Speculation that the two were dating first came about after Toscano was eliminated from 'American Idol' on April 7 and they were spotted having dinner together in Los Angeles. Fueling the fire more, reports surfaced that Toscano dumped her boyfriend of four years, Calros Nunez, for Ballas.

They really seemed to be a pair made in reality competition show heaven when Ballas was spotted in the audience of 'American Idol' and Toscano performed on 'Dancing With the Stars' while Ballas danced. Check out the video of the performance below.

Neither Mark nor Pia said they were exclusively dating...no boyfriend or girlfriend status. They had some dates and who knows if anything further had transpired. As for the nimrods here who think that because a guy dances, he is gay, you're just plain ignorant. Luis is the only gay dancer of the professionals on DWTS who dance with the stars. Obviously, you don't dance and are trying to use the "gay card" to justify your ineptness.

Mark was the ho he slept with every partner he's had on dancing with the stars. You know him and Chelsea got a thang goin on. Pia is a bore, nothing special. Pia I hope to see you taking my order at a local restaurant.

Remember when Mark popped a woody when Shawn Johnson and he were wearing silk trunks and she wrapped her legs around his waist? Sha-boing!

The buzz 'round town is that Derrick told Mark to drop the phony romance crap or else find another BF. Pia was just a victim of another ABC PR gimmick.

And I thought he was gay.

By Ricki

Derrick and his sister have long been reported to have lived with the Ballas family when training with Mark's parents and they are all like brother and sister. Enough of this GAY talk!

Believe me Ricki, when Derrick and Mark go clubbing, Pia would only be along for the ride.

Frankly my dear..I don't give a damn.

By gablegirl

Is ANYONE surprised? She is totally enamored with the Hollywood lifestyle and Mark was just the beginning.

Wonder if she still wants to be on Dancing with the Stars. Hmmm.

By jackie

i'm glad they're not together, he has a temper

and i also think he's gay

By Ernie D.

The only one who was hurt was probably her ex boyfriend who has been there for her and her family.
