J
ULIANNE Hough was
finally ready to bare all — in
more ways than one. Posing
naked on the September
cover of Women’s Health,
the dancer and actress, 31, who’s
married to Canadian hockey pro
Brooks Laich, revealed in an
interview that she’s bisexual.
Julianne said she’s been on a
“transformational journey” that
started a few months after tying
the knot in July 2017, and that
disclosing the shocking news to
her husband wasn’t easy. “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.”
Julianne’s been opening up a lot
lately. In June, the America’s Got
Talent judge disclosed that she’s
been struggling with endometrio-
sis and that she and Brooks, 36,
began IFV treatments last year in
the hopes of conceiving. On his
“How Men Think” podcast on
July 8, she let spill that they con-
sulted an online sexologist to come
up with an “erotic blueprint” and
forge a more intimate connection.
Despite her trepidation,
Julianne’s shocking revelation
has brought her and Brooks even
closer. “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,” she said. “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.” ★Julianne
