He may or may not have just parted ways with longtime gal pal Karina Smirnoff, but Mario Lopez certainly isn't moving on just yet!

The former Saved by the Bell star, who’s currently starring on Broadway in A Chorus Line, was recently spotted exiting L.A’s Red Pearl Kitchen restaurant with socialite Phoebe Price, but Mario tells OK! there’s nothing scandalous about their joint departure.

“I don’t even know who that is,” he laughs to OK!. “I heard that, and I was like, ‘Who is that?’”

As for Karina, the 34-year-old actor hinted that the sun may have set on their relationship when he spot to OK! last week.

“We’re both busy right now,” he said. “We’re doing our thing.”

Karina has recently been linked to another Mario -- the R&B singer who's her partner on Dancing with the Stars this season.
