Is Helio Castroneves Playing With His Sparkly Ball All Alone?
I don't watch Dancing With The Stars, even though I like to see ballroom dancing (Strictly Ballroom is one of my favorite movies), but I kind of kept up on this competition because of one man: Helio. That's right, the two-time Indy 500 winner won the dancing competition, and all that was missing was a fence for him to climb.
So why isn't the champ celebrating with his fiancee? Well, it could be because his fiancee is no longer his fiancee:
"I haven't talked to him in two months," [Aliette] Vazquez said. "I am devastated."While Vazquez, a Cuban fashion designer, did not give a reason for calling off the engagement, she hinted that the nuptials nixing was a long time coming.
"I came out for the first episode of Dancing and haven't seen him since," she said.
Castroneves himself confirmed the split.
"I can confirm that Aliette Vazquez and I have called off our engagement and are no longer together," he said. "At this time, I would prefer to keep my private life private."
The former couple had already pushed back their wedding to 2008, for which Heilo cited his busy schedule of auto racing and dancing, while apparently the kiss in the above photo is a 'stage kiss' done as part of the dance routine.
But, there are rumors that there is more than just dancing between Helio and his dance partner, Julianne Hough:
Castroneves told entertainment news show "Extra" on Wednesday that he has split from his fiancée, Aliette Vazquez. There's speculation that the breakup may have been caused by a budding romance between Castroneves and his "Dancing With the Stars" partner, Julianne Hough. The two shared a kiss on Tuesday night's show."It was the beginning of something," Castroneves told "Extra," "[but] it [the relationship] was beyond that point. It was time to let go."
He had just been on the television show The View talking about his win, and about dancing at his wedding. But after the show, he indicated that the interview was about the dancing, not his personal life, and he preferred not to talk about that with the chatty ladies on the show.
So hmm. It could very well be that they are just platonic friends, but maybe Julianne taught Helio more than just how to ball change.
