About Julianne Hough

Without a doubt, Julianne Hough can outdance any want tobe pop-country. This multi-talented star of Dancing With the Stars is also a superstar in the worlds of singing, dancing, and acting.
The Dancing Clan
This Utah-born, at heart-Southern girl was the youngest of five children, all of whom began taking ballroom dance classes when they were very young. The close-knit dance family, which was raised as a Mormon, was known locally as The Blonde Osmonds. But Julianne’s parents separated when she was ten years old.
She put herself into dancing more than ever, the weight of the separation hanging heavily on her.
Derek, Julianne’s brother, shown a natural ability for dancing as well, and the two relocated to London to further their education. There, Julianne met fellow Dancing With the Stars cast member Mark Ballas, and the two quickly became household names in the ballroom, winning championships left and right. When Julianne’s brother agreed to join their successful duo, the three formed the pop music group 2B1G. (A.K.A. 2 boys 1 girl). The band, however, didn’t have much success, and Julianne quickly returned to the United States to finish high school before obtaining jobs as a back-up dancer in commercials and TV shows.
Show Me The Money
Hough achieved major success when she was cast as a Million Dollar Dancer on the game show Show Me the Money. But Julianne managed to get a seat on the dancing competition Dancing With the Stars in 2005, which helped her become a household celebrity. Hough was a champion from the start; on her debut season, she and partner Apolo Anton Ohno took home the prized Mirror Ball trophy. In her second season, she and partner and racecar driver Helio Castroneves replicated her debut triumph. After a performance, Julianne was rushed to the hospital and had to have her appendix removed, which made her fourth season less successful.
Even though Julianne was missing an appendix, she still brought the heat on DWTS and dominated the music industry. In 2008, to rapturous praise and a top spot on the country chart and the Billboard 100 chart, she released her self-titled debut album.
While on tour with Brad Paisley, Julianne began dating country crooner Chuck Wicks in search of a partner who could share in her fame. When the hot and heavy couple made an appearance as a dancing couple on DWTS, they quickly got engaged and brought their love to the dance floor. But Julianne and America weren’t convinced by their chemistry on the dance floor, and after the pair finished sixth on the competition, Julianne said goodbye to Chuck and the dancing competition.
Performing at her best
Julianne, however, didn’t sit around pouting; instead, she went on to appear in a well-known Juicy Fruit gum commercial, create a workout DVD, and win a 2009 Country Music Award for Top New Female Vocalist and Top New Artist. After dominating the dance and music sectors, Julianne set her sights on having it all. In 2010, she landed a role opposite Cher and Christina Aguilera in the musical film Burlesque.
Because of the popularity of her first movie, Julianne was chosen to play the lead in the 1984 classic Footloose. But when it comes to her new relationship with American Idol host and radio personality Ryan Seacrest, Julianne isn’t exactly footloose and fancy free. Around the world, people have seen the two of them getting quite close.
The aspiring megastar has a magnetic presence that has propelled her to the top of the charts, Americans’ hearts, and the heart of one fortunate AI host.
