The Dancing with the Stars pro – still single despite rumors linking her to everyone from ex-fiancé Maksim Chmerkovskiy to former contestant Jacoby Jones – was the object of some very ardent attention on Saturday.
At the HBO's Luxury Lounge celebrating the Golden Globes Awards, Smirnoff was spotted getting flirty with Orange Is the New Black's Pablo Schreiber.
Schreiber, best known as corrupt corrections officer George "'Pornstache" Mendez on the hit Netflix drama, first approached Smirnoff, who split from Chmerkovskiy in 2009.
"You could tell he was trying to figure out some kind of smooth way to go up to Karina," an observer tells PEOPLE of Schreiber, whose wife of six years, Jessica Monty, filed for divorce just before Christmas.
His pick-up line? "Hi, I'm Pablo ... Juan Pablo, that is. The new Bachelor," he said, according to the source, in a cheeky reference to The Bachelor , which, like, Dancing with the Stars, airs on ABC.
Smirnoff laughed it off "but seemed charmed," says the source, and the two stayed together during the rest of their time in the suite. They ultimately made their way to Pandora's lounge, where rings were being gifted to celebs.
So just how serious was the exchange? "Pablo joked about getting Karina a ring right then and there," adds the observer.
