During the auditions of Objetivo Fama in Los Angeles, Vélez met fellow contestant Erica Gonzaba, from San Antonio, Texas. Since they were both selected, they started a friendship which later developed into a formal relationship. This was announced at the sixth Gala (March 17, 2007) when Vélez and Gonzaba confessed they had fallen in love with each other. The couple broke up in September, 2007. After ending their relationship, Gonzaba was cast as a model for Vélez's video "Buscando Tu Sombra", which was the second single off his album.
