Julianne Hough and Chuck Wicks Break Up

Missy — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:32:48 +0000

Like many high profile couples, the time has apparently come for Julianne Hough and her country singing boyfriend Chuck Wicks to take a break. The celebrity pair mutually decided that they need some time apart.

The two will still uphold their obligations this evening at the Country Music Association Awards. Chuck with be interviewing on the red carpet for Entertainment Tonight and the lovely Miss Julianne will be a presenter.

They initially met through fellow country singer Brad Paisley while touring with the star. It only took a few weeks of dating for the two to start talking about marriage. Julianne said, “The minute we met it was perfect.”

Julianne, a professional dancer, has taken time away from Dancing With The Stars to test the waters as a country singer. With the split, it should be interesting to see if she goes back to her dancing roots in Los Angeles or sticks it out in Nashville.

Who knows—maybe a little time away will be just what they need and they will reunite and walk down that aisle together.

It was elimination night on Dancing with the Stars. The popular ABC hit celebrity dance competition was down to just six couples, with only a few weeks until the finale, where one couple will be crowned champions.

In a surprising twist of fate, one of the top competitors, Melissa Rycroft injured a rib and was unable to perform during Monday night’s competition. She was judged solely on an earlier rehearsal and ended up with the lowest score of the night.

Perhaps the weakest celebrity dancer, rodeo star Ty Murray had a middle of the road performance this week and was not up for elimination. Check out all of Monday night’s performances here.

Left standing for a suspenseful few minutes were Chuck Wicks & Julianne Hough alongside a teary eyed Melissa and her dance pro partner Tony Dovolani. In the end it was country singer Wicks and his fiance who took the floor for the final dance.

Chuck Wicks said, “This has been fantastic. I think the team dance did us in.” See the film clip from the elimination announcement below.

Missy — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 14:12:18 +0000

Dancing with the Stars pro dancer Julianne Hough may be laid up a little longer than she had planned. The dancer underwent surgery to have her appendix removed last week.

Derek Hough, also a pro dancer on DWTS, talked about his sister’s surgery and said, “She was in a lot of pain for a couple of days afterward.” He added that his sis is a fighter and that she would get through it.

The protective brother said that he is going to make Julianne stay in bed. Hmm, do you think he is in direct competition with her and knows that her return may be the demise of his chances of winning with partner Brooke Burke? Derek and Brooke scored a perfect 30 on last week’s competition. We’ll give Derek the benefit of the doubt but it is always fun to pit family members against each other in a competition.
