Dancing with the Stars professional Julianne Hough is so close to her mirror ball trophy-winning celebrity partners Apolo Anton Ohno and Helio Castroneves that she apparently considers them kin.

"I wouldn't touch them with a 10-foot pole," Hough told Extra during Monday night's broadcast. "Not because they're dirty -- just because they're like friends and brothers."
After capturing Dancing with the Stars' fourth-season title with Ohno, the pair denied they were ever a romantic item.
Romance rumors surrounding Hough and Castroneves also surfaced after the two won the show's fifth-season title when he revealed the end of his engagement to Aliette Vazquez the morning after the fifth-season finale. Both Hough and Castroneves denied the rumors.
"I don't date really," Hough told Extra. "I am so focused on my career."

While she may not date, Hough was engaged to Zach Wilson -- a subsequent Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann "Team Bruno" winner -- when she first joined Dancing with the Stars. However less than two weeks before ABC's broadcast of Dancing with the Stars' fourth-season finale, she canceled their August 2007 wedding.
"I'm 19-years-old, I don't even want to think about marriage or anything like that," Hough told Extra.
Hough's self-titled debut album is scheduled to drop May 20 -- the same day as Dancing with the Stars' live sixth-season finale broadcast. She recently filmed the music video for the album's first single -- "That Song in My Head."
"I was so scared," Hough told Extra about shooting the video. "I was like, 'I don't know how to act in-front of a camera!'"
