Julianne Hough has an idea for who her life partner will be. 

Indeed, the Dancing with the Stars host, who shared she was “not straight” five years ago, recently explained why she believes she will ultimately end up in a heteronormative relationship. 

“I feel as if I am going to be with a man,” Julianne explained on the Sept. 23 episode of The Jamie Kern Lima Show, when asked how her ideal partner would identify. “I would like to have a partner and build a life with somebody, have a family. My heart is open.”

But while Julianne—who separated from ex husband Brooks Laich in 2022 after five years of marriage—has a prediction about her future, she also emphasizes that her mind is subject to change. 

“People are like, ‘Well what are you looking for?’ and I’m like, I’m a master manifester, I don’t want to put out exactly what I think I want because I will get that,” she added, noting that her parameters for a relationship are more figurative. “There are certain feelings I want to feel in a relationship. There are certain qualities and values that are important to me that are certain nonnegotiables.” 

Still, for right now, Julianne isn’t in any rush to find her person—no matter how they identify. 

“I’m content,” she said. “Content used to scare the s--t out of me. Now I’m like, ‘I’m so content.’”

The 36-year-old’s comments come just one month after she expanded on her experience coming out in 2019. 

"Coming out is one of the most vulnerable and empowering things that you can do," Julianne said on Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast last month. “I think for me, it was very much like, it's not about being straight or gay or bi or queer. It's more about, I think I'm just learning what love is and I love people and I don't know what I'm attracted to, but I choose you."
