UPDATES below.

I thought the kiss between Julianne Hough and Helio Castroneves looked a little warm last night. And Extra! may know why, according to this press release:

“Extra” can confirm that “Dancing with the Stars” winner Helio Castroneves broke off his engagement. Helio spoke to “Extra” moments after his appearance on “The View” this morning where he talked fondly about his fiancée and dancing at his own wedding. Helio came clean to “Extra,” confirming the split and explaining why he did not mention it on “The View." He says, “It’s about the show. I didn’t want to put my personal life in that moment.”

When asked if his fiancée was upset about last night’s kiss between him and his partner Julianne Hough he says, “It was the beginning of something [but] it [the relationship] was beyond that point. It was time to let go.”

Of course, I'm just guessing that there was something between these two. But I don't like his lying on "The View."

UPDATE: The New York Daily News says Helio and Julianne are an item. The paper says they "were spotted giggling and teasing each other while shopping for matching Ritmo watches together in Beverly Hills at the David Orgell store."

But Jennie Garth told "Inside Edition" that there was no romance. At the same time, she says Helio and his fiancee split before the show premiered.

Meanwhile, TV Tattle had a link to this bit of noteworthy news for us "Buffy/Angel/Veronica Mars" fans: Charisma Carpenter and her husband have split.
