Helio Castroneves got placed into the friend column by dancing partner Julianne Hough, but it still was enough to end his relationship with Aliette Vazquez. The relationship between Helio and Aliette actually ended almost immediately after Helio began rehearsing with his Dancing With The Stars partner. Helio had a huge crush on Julianne almost from the outset, and thinking it was going to be something real, told Aliette they should wait awhile to get married.
Aliette, not being stupid, deduced the real reasons and called off the marriage. However, out of respect, she volunteered to pretend that everything was normal until after the conclusion of the show because she didn't want Helio's chances of winning affected by him being a love sick jerk thinking he was going to score with a 19 year old.
Rumors are swirling that Helio lavished the young dancer with gift after gift, but he could just never get out of the friends column with her, and so far that is where he remains. Julianne has lots of friends. Kevin Connolly of Entourage also is in the friends column. He and Julianne are such good friends that he bought her a several thousand dollar 18K engagement ring last week which she wore on the last show.
Who knew that being friends with so many guys could be so profitable and lead to broken relationships. If the guys knew any better they would know that she will end up with a guy who doesn't buy her a damn thing, and in fact makes her pay for everything when they go out. He may or may not have a job, and will cheat on her often. Don't buy a woman any gifts before she is your girlfriend thinking that gifts will make her your girlfriend.
