...been romantically involved, ended that part of their relationship, and continued to skate together successfully:

I can think of a few; Brasseur/Eisler and Bechke/Petrov. I'd include Torvill/Dean in there as well! Are there any others?

Weren't Anton and Elena once romatically involved with each other?
 
Gordeeva & Grinkov - for many fans, the ultimate "figure skating love story"
Rodnina & Zaitsev (they later divorced)
Usova & Zhulin (divorced, too, and the soap opera with new partners continued...)
Klimova & Ponomarenko
Valova & Vasilev (divorced, and he is dating Totmianina now, right?)
Rahkamo & Kokko, happily married with two kids
Punsalan & Swallow
Grushina & Gontcharov
Drobiazko & Vanagas
Denkova & Stavisky
Abitbol & Bernardis
Kovarikova & Novotny
Berankova & Dlabola (?)
 
Sorry, I did not read the topic properly... Those I mentioned were, or still are couples, but I can't remember if they continued their career after they broke up.
 
Didn't know Brasseur / Eisler were an item at one time.
There are few past Russian dance late 80's / 90's that were married, dating and still married since I can't spell or come close to spelling their names.

Oh, that's wonderful :). I always thought they were such a fantastic couple and I was so happy when they got married!
 
I think it would be easier to make a list of dance & pair teams that have NEVER been a couple.

To cut the list, let's say "couples that have never been involved with each other or their coach, choreographer, or choach's/ choreographer's/ family" (eliminates Tot & Mar, Bourne & Kraatz, Belbin & Agosto, etc.).

Bestemianova & Bukin
Anissina & Peizerat
Belbin & Agosto
Ina & Zimmerman
Yamaguchi & Galindo :laugh:

Hmmm, OK, I guess there are quite a few...
 
NOT romantically involved:

Urbanski and Marvel! I think they had some good fights!
Blumberg and Seibert
Babilonia and Gardner
Bourne and Kratz
Wagner and Paul
Underhill and Martini
Hough and Ladret

and of course -obviously (!!!) the brother/sister pairs like the Carruthers or Kerrs. (I saw an ancient interview during their competitive days when Peter said he would love to date someone just like his sister! )

I guess we could add Kazakova and Dmitriev to the list of pairs who have never been romantically involved. I don't think I'd put Mishkutenok and Dmitriev on it, though. She was too heartbroken when he got married to someone else.
 
Aren't the Carruthers...es...adopted, though? Meaning it would be TECHINCALLY legal for them to have been involved, even if culturally creepy?

Didn't Mishkutenok end up with an American hockey player?

She got married to the hockey player, divorced after several years of marriage, and if I recall has re-married since.
