Ex-Fiancee to Helio: Lights, Camera, Split!

Ooh, snap! The split between "Dancing With the Stars" champ Helio Castroramalamadingdong and ex-fiancee Aliette Vazquez is getting good!

Sources connected to the couple tell TMZ that the reason the duo split was simple -- Helio "went Hollywood!" We're told his newfound "fame" was too much for his longtime gal, who just couldn't deal. As his popularity grew, so did his ego! That's when Aliette alley-ooped and hit the road.

We're told she is much happier and "over him." Our spies saw her selling her jewelry line yesterday at the swank Biltmore Hotel in Miami.

We've heard she's waltzing on with her life.

154. I've watched DWTS every season. The men have it the hardest; they have to learn to lead. Helio had never danced before (as far as I know) but being the Championship Competiter that he his; he gave 110% and with their great dancing & his carisma, I was thrilled to see them win! To those of you that don't follow motorsports; Helio didn't "need" to go Hollywood. He was already a "STAR" before he went on DWTS's ! I really expected Mel & Max to win but obviously Helio has more fans than "Scary Spice". Congrat's Helio ! After the tour; I look forward to seeing you back on the track...

ByeBye, Ali !!

155. I think she dumped him because he appears to be crazy about his dance partner. And he probably is.

156. I think there were problems before the show or possibly when he agreed to do the show. If you think about it, she was never shown in the audience giving her support. She was proabably jealous, but dont blame her, he's a handsome man and those woman dont wear very many clothes.

157. Again, who CARES!!! Leave him alone. The world has bigger problems than this. LET IT GO!!!!!!!!

158. Helio is a celeb. He is a 2 time Indy winner + didn't do a bad job for somebody that doesn't dance or entertain for a living :)

John

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!

159. I was telling my husband weeks & weeks ago that his engagment was going south! I remember last year that Juliann was engaged when she was dancing with Apollo. I really wasn't surprised to hear this year that that didn't work out! Besides she is way to young to go getting married. Especially if she wants to be in show biz! Really never heard of Helio before this year, but I'm not a race car buff!

160. Like most car drivers, he decided to trade in the used model and get a new one. Can you blame him?
That Julianne is one beautiful new showroom model alright!

161. Sounds like a bunch of haters! They were great dancers and deserved to win! And like Helio said "my personal life is my personal life..." Let it go ... he deserves to be on cloud 9 and enjoy the 10-15 minutes of fame he earned from DWTS...

162. lala land is where most of you people live. A opne night stand can break up a 40 year marriage. So a ten week attraction can surely break up a 6 year relationship. It was more than a friendship trust me for this women to break up with him. I don't think she is a fickle girl. She would have witnessed much attention by other females and groupies in the six years they went out. Funny how the women always gets blamed. If she is all but ignored by her fiance and he is spending all his free time with a 19 year old and he changes. Drew spent much time with his dance partner but he has a little thing called interity. Some men can be near a beautiful youn thing and put it in perspective . Some can't Looks like Helio couldn't. Should his ex be blamed for that. Love to see how some of you would have dealt with it. Spare me

163. First off, I am a man and never thought for a sec I would be interested in watching a weekly reality show called "Dancing with the Stars" .........THIS IS GREAT !!! Three cheers for Helio and Julianne !!!!! Soap opera ? Get off that fake s___ Days of our JUNK and see what reality TV is all about ! talk about gossip! I knew from the start these 2 were gonna clash and I mean that in a hot steamy way! Spending so much time together in the start of a relationship is always great and brings out the best in people and man did it come out in them. I am not sure but it sure seems to me that Helios ex- fiancee looks older than him and to be honest, I think he lost what he once felt for her six loooooooong years ago after spending soooooo much time with his new found partner Julianne. Bottom line he likes her. BUT, they also have to play it right -- meaning -- she cannot look like a sleazy gold-digging girl (she comes from a Mormon family and probably wants to uphold the image of a nice good girl.) And he, cannot look like a dog in heat who doesn't respect that he has a fiancee or that he just goes from woman to woman. Remember this is all on international TV and they are aware that the images they portray, they must live with forever.
I mean he kissed her on that last dance and Tom the MC asked Julianne, something like " How bout that kiss he gave you? " and she without missing a beat responded "I gave it to him!"
Like I said , I would never watch any reality show before Dancing with the Stars. Now there's a treat ! Thanks to my lovely wife for turning me on to it. In a twist to what I've said, Go Helio!! Step up to the plate now! Who cares what they say>>> Go public with it! If it ever get to the point of marrage. My suggestion....Get a good prenup. lol Good luck to Helio & Julianne - Me and my wife feel you make a great couple.

164. Think about this ladies, if you were with a man for 6 years ,and he finally asks you to marry him ,and aftter a year of being engaged a date is set and plans are made,then just before its here your fiancee postpones your wedding to go on a danceing show!!!! How would you feel ? And then you go to one show and he tells you your presence takes away his luck, and you watch him on tv always hugging and feeling and actting like a giddy fool with a young lady almost half his age, what would you think and/or do.? Now be truefull. And another thing, just one of my pet peeves I hate hearing adults refered to as cute,! Little children are cute, puppies are cute , adults not so much. I'm just saying !

165. I keep hearing about how famous Helio is because has won the Indy 500 twice,well I live in Indy, have all my life, and I didn't know who he was. The raceing world is a whole different world than hollywood. In hollywood he's a nobody. tthats why this is so exciteing to him, i can see why he could lose all perspective, and of course it's flattering to any man for a beautifull young, and I repeat young girl shows you some attention.Some can deal witth it for what it is ,tv show behavior, and some can't. Oviously Helio took it to heart. I hope nextt year when she moves on to the next one , he wont be too brokenhearted, Ha! Ha!
