Dance champ Castroneves loses fiancee
>> DANCING WITH THE STARS
BY ERIN CARLSON ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Helio Castroneves won the mirrortail trophy on ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," but lost his fiancée, Allette Vazquez.
Less than a day after Castroneves was declared the winner, Vazquez, a Miami-based business executive, announced she had called off her engagement to the Brazilian race-car driver. Castroneves out-danced finalists Melanie Brown and Marie Osmond on Tuesday night's show.
"There's been a lot of rumors
Sparks flew this season between "Cheetah Girl" Sabrina Bryan and her dance partner, Mark Ballas. Two seasons ago, Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff reportedly generated heat off the dance floor.
and a lot of stuff said, and she just wanted confirmed that they are no longer engaged. There's no animosity, there's nothing mean. Just a simple confirmation." Vazquez's publicist, Howard Bragan, told the Associated Press on Wednesday.
Was Bragman hinting at viewer speculation that something seemed to be brewing between Castronevex
Bragman said Castroneves and Vazquez had been together for more than six years and became engaged last year. Castroneves confirmed his split with Vazquez to People.com.
"I'm not gonna talk about the rumors. I mean, they're clearly out there," said Bragman.
and dance partner Julianne Hough?
Hough called off her engagement to dancer Zach Wilson earlier this year. Hough was also the partner of "Dancing" champion Apolo Anton Ohno. She told "Access Hollywood": "There was nothing with Apolo last season and there's nothing with Hello now."
