Maksim Chmerkovskiy will not be participating as a dancer in season 19 of ABC's hit show, "Dancing With the Stars." On July 29, he revealed to the ladies of "The View" that this time around, fans will not be able to enjoy his bad boy moves every week.

"I'm done dancing...  I feel like it's time." the 34-year-old spilled to Sherri Shepherd and the gang.

Just after the crowd stopped gasping, he clarified that his announcement did not rule out the possibility of him taking on a different role. Also, this is not his first time leaving his coveted spot on the dance floor. After season 16, he took a small hiatus before returning to season 18 to dance (and go on to win the Mirrorball Trophy) with partner, Olympian Meryl Davis.

He revealed why he left the first time, adding, "When I came back to the show, it was not the same…I was different, probably…When I came back, I saw this amazing talent, Val [his brother] included…I looked at it and thought they can do much more and better, I was taking up a huge spot."

In an interview with Social Life magazine just after his big win, he seemed ready to move on from the dance floor, and expressed that he wanted to move on to happier things. "I am really ready to have a family now. I need an outlet. I have so much I want to give, and I need someone to give it to," he said.

After showing up to Jennifer Lopez's 45th birthday party in South Hampton, could the two stars possibly start a family together? Hmmm... Let Enstars know what you think in the comments, below.
