Castroneves Wins Dancing, Loses Fiancee December 6, 2007

It was just a day ago that Helio Castroneves was names the newest winner of Dancing with the Stars. Now, word has it that he and his fiancee Aliette Vazquez have separated.

He gave an exclusive statement to People Magazine, saying, “I can confirm that Aliette Vasquez and I have called off our engagement and are no longer together.” He also stated that he would like his private life to remain just that for now – private.

This isn’t the first wedding date change for Castroneves. He and Vazquez had already postponed it once earlier in the season. His explanation, “Everything is happening so quick. The championship is over, the dancing started, and basically, I was like, ‘Ali, let’s take it easy. Otherwise we will be divorces before we get married!’”

Now, this would seem like a normal, everyday occurance in Hollywood. Strange thing is, though, he isn’t the first member of the Dancing with the Stars crew to break off an engagement this season. In May, professional dancer Julianne Hough postponed her wedding to fellow dancer Zach Wilson. Why is this strange? In case you’ve been living under a rock, Hough was Castroneves’ partner for the show.
