"Julianne Hough Dances Through Labels: 'Not Straight, Just in Love with Humanity'—Five Years Later, Still Stepping to Her Own Beat!"
In a candid reflection, Julianne Hough—known for her killer dance moves and even slicker revelations—has once again addressed her journey of self-discovery. Nearly five years after she dropped the mic on her "not straight" bombshell, Julianne is back to remind us that sexuality isn’t about fitting into neat little boxes but more about embracing the chaos of love in all its forms.
In a recent chat on the Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast, Julianne mused, "It's not about being straight, gay, bi, or any of those things—it's about learning what love truly is. I love people, and I’m still figuring out what attracts me, but guess what? I choose you!"
She went on to describe a revelation that would make Cupid blush: "I started seeing people for who they are—hearts first, bodies second. Suddenly, I was like, wow, I love people! Not sure if it’s a 'hey, let’s hold hands' kind of love or more of a 'you’re my soul mate' kind of deal, but it’s beautiful either way."
And let’s not forget her time with ex-hubby Brooks Laich, who played the role of "Father Figure," helping Julianne reconnect with her inner child—a 10-year-old in need of safety and stability. Though their marriage ended in 2022, Julianne looks back fondly, saying their relationship was "the greatest thing that could have happened to me at that time."
So, whether she’s dancing with the stars or dancing around labels, one thing’s for sure—Julianne Hough is still leading with her heart.
