Don't expect
Julianne Hough to be at the center of dancing partner relationship rumors on this season of
Dancing with the Stars.
The ballroom beauty is apparently quite happy with her new country-singer boyfriend
Chuck Wicks. (Sorry, fellas!)
"He's just a great guy!," Hough
told People. "He's awesome and really, really talented. I'm having a great time getting to know him." Hough met Wicks this summer while both acts were on tour with Brad Paisley. Hough was out promoting her country album, which hit No. 1 on the country charts after its release in May.
Aside from their country careers, the couple has something else in common: Both recently ended long-term relationships. Hough broke off her engagement to former dancer Zach Wilson last year and Wicks split with his long-time girlfriend just before the Paisely tour.
Though she'll soon be waltzing with a new partner on the parquet of
Dancing while Wicks remains on tour, Hough says the couple should be just fine. "That's what's cool about being with an independent person." -
