We didn't see this coming! Dancing With the Stars alum Julianne Hough tells Women's Health magazine that, despite being married to a man, husband Brooks Laich, she's "not straight." Okay ... Well, speak your truth, girl!
She says to the mag, "I [told him], ‘You know I’m not straight, right?’ And he was like, ‘I’m sorry, what?’ I was like, ‘I’m not. But I choose to be with you.’" She goes on, "I think there’s a safety with my husband now that I’m unpacking all of this, and there’s no fear of voicing things that I’ve been afraid to admit or that I’ve had shame or guilt about because of what I’ve been told or how I was raised."
The couple were married last July so they've had a year to get into their marriage and Julianne explained the process -- and the process of her own personal growth at the same time: "I was connecting to the woman inside that doesn’t need anything, versus the little girl that looked to him to protect me,†she explained. “I was like, ‘Is he going to love this version of me?’ But the more I dropped into my most authentic self, the more attracted he was to me. Now we have a more intimate relationship."
Hough doesn't go into more details about not being "straight." Has she dated women in the past? Does she consider herself to be bisexual? Is she comfortable never expressing that side of herself again? We have a feeling her next interview is going to delve deeper!
