Julianne Hough has been spotted hanging out with a Bachelor Nation reality star.
In photos published by Just Jared on Friday, December 6, the Dancing With the Stars cohost, 36, was pictured spending time with Tanner Courtad.
The outlet reported the pair had dinner at the Sportsman’s Lodge shopping center in Studio City, California on Thursday, December 5.
During their outing, both Hough and Courtad chose to wear activewear for the early evening. Hough sported a green puffer jacket paired with black leggings, while Courtad went for an all-black look with a T-shirt and shorts.
Courtad, 31, vied for the heart of Charity Lawson on The Bachelorette in 2023 before later appearing on Bachelor in Paradise the same year.’
ABC described Courtad in his bio for the Bachelor franchise as “100% husband material.”
The bio of the fitness instructor highlights his close bond with his family and his desire to have a relationship as strong as his parents’. Growing up, Tanner and his family rescued more than 50 dogs, and he is eager to continue this passion with his future wife.
On the other hand, Hough enjoys a successful role as a host on Dancing With the Stars. She recently poked fun at her single status while performing a lively routine to the viral TikTok track “Man In Finance” during a November episode of the reality show.
“Great to see you out on the floor with the guys,” Hough’s cohost, Alfonso Ribeiro joked at the time.
In response, Hough quipped, “Yeah, the guys. Well, you know, I am single and I’m looking for a guy anywhere I can find one.”
Hough publicly came out in a September 2019 profile for Women’s Health, noting at the time that she informed then-husband Brooks Laich that she was “not straight.” The couple ultimately split in 2020 and finalized their divorce in 2022.
While Hough previously acknowledged she is “not straight,” the TV personality admitted in a September episode of the “Jamie Kern Lima Show” podcast that she believes she will eventually settle down with a male partner.
“I feel like I’m going to end up with a man,” Hough said, but noted she is open to this not being the case. “I want to be living and vibrating in the pace of my most authentic self for that to be what attracts whoever it is versus I’m gonna put what I think I want and need out there and then literally force-create it,”
Hough added she wants to have “a partner” and “build a life with somebody and have a family.”
She continued, “That’s still, like, where my heart is open, but I’m content, which content used to scare the s— out of me.”
