Julianne Hough Teases She "May Not Be Single" At Emmys 2026
Julianne Hough may have found herself a new dance partner.
The Dancing With the Stars co-host made a cryptic comment about her love life while walking the Emmys 2026 red carpet in her Antonio Grimaldi gown on Sept. 14.
"I might not be single," Hough teased to Justin Sylvester during an exclusive interview on Live From E!: 2026 Emmy, adding with a laugh, "There's a lot to discuss off-camera." (Click here to see all the celebrity arrivals.)
And when Sylvester quipped that DWTS contestant Sarah Jane Nader—whose sister Brooks Nader dated her pro partner Gleb Savchenko while competing on the dance show in 2024—might get "cuffed up" this season, Hough quipped, "You never know."
The 38-year-old, who was previously married to retired NHL player Brooks Laich from 2017 to 2022, coyly added, "I have some tea."
But dating talk aside, Hough does have predictions on who might take home the Mirrorball Trophy on season 35, premiering on ABC Sept. 15.
"There are the frontrunners. We've seen Amber Glenn, Jenna [Dewan], Harry [Shum Jr.]," she told Sylvester. "But I will say, Taylor Hanson's got some moves—and he's got a great head of hair."
Hough is also rooting for Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum Tatyana Ali, who she describes as "amazing."
"We're gonna have to watch," continued the Footloose actress, who has been co-hosting the ABC series with Alfonso Ribeiro since 2023. "I think this one is gonna keep us on our toes for sure."

It's a sentiment shared by her brother and DWTS judge Derek Hough.
"The cast is incredible," he raved during a Good Morning America appearance earlier this month. "The pros are energized. They're motivated. They're excited. They're ready to compete. It's gonna be an incredible season. I cannot wait."
The 41-year-old added, "This is just magic in a bottle, and it continues to create magic every single season."
