Zack Wilson

Hough, then 18 years old, became engaged to Zack Wilson, a childhood friend from her hometown, in 2007. In an interview with Glamour, Hough revealed, “When I first came to L.A…. I was engaged to someone else, a guy I knew from Utah who had served a Mormon mission.”

Hough was also raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. By November 2007, Hough and Wilson had separated.

Chuck Wicks

Shortly after splitting from Wilson, Hough began dating country music musician Chuck Wicks, whom she met while on tour with Brad Paisley in 2008. By December 2008, they had already discussed marriage.

Wicks appeared on Dancing with the Stars as Hough's celebrity partner in March 2009. “It has been so much fun and really hilarious to see Chuck try to dance,” Hough said on her MySpace celebrity blog. “Just thinking about it is humorous! He is doing extremely well, however. “I was very surprised.”

However, by November 2009, the couple had split their romance, which a source told PEOPLE was “mutual.” Despite their divorce, Hough and Wicks maintained their intention to attend the CMA Awards together.

Dane Cook

While Hough and comedian Dane Cook's romance was never officially announced, the two did spend time together. After Hough attended Cook's comic gig, the two were seen together over dinner in March of 2010. According to a source, after the show, Cook “kissed her, and they quickly left together.”

A few days later, they were seen again in West Hollywood, California. Hough and Cook never discussed their romance in public.

Ryan Seacrest

Hough began dating television personality Ryan Seacrest in the summer of 2010. She told Glamour that the two had been flirting long before they met; in fact, a mutual friend attempted to set them up when she first relocated to Los Angeles.

Hough and Seacrest met when she appeared on his radio show with her then-boyfriend Wicks. Although engagement rumors persisted for the majority of their relationship, Hough and Seacrest split in March 2013.

Ari Sandel

In July 2013, Hough reportedly began dating Academy Award-winning director Ari Sandel. The two were photographed eating dinner at Nobu in Los Angeles. Photos obtained by the Huffington Post show them leaving the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, California, together that August.

In November 2021, Hough was seen kissing model Charlie Wilson in Los Angeles. Just a few days later, a source told PEOPLE that Hough and Wilson were having fun, but it wasn't necessarily romantic.

“Julianne has not been dating Charlie Wilson very long but seems happy and enjoying her single life,” a source told me. “She is attracted to him, but it's early and could just be a flirtation.”
