Julianne Hough Says Her “Ovaries Are Screaming” to Be a Mom

Julianne Hough is ready to dance into motherhood.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m so excited for Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert as they prepare to welcome their little one! It’s such a beautiful time for them, and it’s lovely to hear that Derek’s sister is already dreaming of having a family of her own someday. It’s a ripple effect of joy when you see loved ones embarking on these amazing journeys!

I recently shared on The Jennifer Hudson Show that I’m really feeling my biological clock ticking! It’s a vulnerable thing, but I’m definitely at a point where I’m ready to start a family. Seeing someone close to me become a parent right now is really interesting – it’s giving me a whole new perspective on what’s to come, and honestly, it’s making those maternal feelings even stronger.

The 37-year-old predicted that Haley and Derek’s baby will be incredibly creative and talented, possibly a genius.

And she’s excited to witness their journey.

“Aunt Juju is gonna be there,” she continued, “just supporting it.”

Julianne explained to Jennifer Hudson that before fully embracing her identity as ‘Mama Juju,’ she needs to find love first.

Julianne Hough, who finalized her divorce from Brooks Laich in 2022, has been proactively taking steps to preserve her ability to have children. She recently shared that she had frozen her eggs for a third time this past June.

She explained in an Instagram video that she was doing it all for the sake of having a baby.

Dealing with fertility can be really challenging, especially when you’re also managing endometriosis and thinking about your future family. I’m currently going through my third time freezing my eggs, and it’s a personal journey that isn’t always easy to discuss, or even share with others.

Julianne, who first spoke about her struggles with endometriosis in 2008, hopes her experience will help others facing the same challenges. She said that even sharing a small part of her story is worthwhile if it makes someone feel less isolated or encourages them to seek answers and find the best path forward for themselves.

Julianne, who first spoke about her struggles with endometriosis in 2008, says she hopes sharing her experience will help others going through the same thing. She explained that even a small part of her story being helpful – whether it makes someone feel less isolated or encourages them to seek answers – makes it all worthwhile.

In June 2024, football player Jason Kelce responded to a fan’s comment on social media, jokingly asking, “What kind of weirdo washes their feet…?” The fan had observed that Kelce appeared to not wash his legs or feet.

The retired Philadelphia Eagles player later doubled down on his comments.

On his podcast, New Heights with his brother Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes jokingly asked, “What kind of person washes someone else’s feet?” He then added that he’d only scrub them if they were actually dirty.

More than ten years after Twilight actor Kristen Stewart shared a story about witnessing a clown’s death in a car accident at the circus when he was a child, he confessed that the story was made up.

Robert remembered telling The New York Times Style Magazine in December 2024 that he reacted with complete surprise, saying, “What on earth? Are you possessed?”

As for what he said during the 2011 Today interview promoting his film Water for Elephants?

He explained that one of the clowns had died in an accident. Their miniature car exploded while they were driving it, and it was a frightening experience for everyone there. People immediately rushed out after it happened.

Grandma knows best.

Kim Kardashian recently shared a personal story on her show, The Kardashians, about how her grandmother, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell, unexpectedly played a role in a private moment with her then-boyfriend, Pete Davidson. She revealed this during an October 2022 episode.

Kim Kardashian shared a story with MJ, Kris Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian about a weekend at the Beverly Hills Hotel. She explained that she and Pete Davidson were chatting by the fireplace for hours when she remembered something her grandmother told her: ‘You truly live life when you have sex in front of the fireplace.’ Inspired by this, they decided to act on it as a tribute to Kris.

Grandma’s reaction? A nod of approval.

Kim found it unsettling to think about her grandmother before being intimate, and MJ responded by saying she understood, but she had been younger once herself.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have a very close family with their two children, 8-year-old Wyatt and 6-year-old Dimitri, and their love for each other is endless.

So much so, that the Black Swan actress revealed they keep an open-door policy at home.

As a longtime follower, I remember when she shared with TopMob News back in September 2022 that it really extends to everything – even the bathroom. She explained it’s just become completely normal for their family, and the kids are used to, well, just dealing with natural body functions as part of everyday life. It’s a really open and honest approach they’ve taken.

Mila explained that she finally gave in after her family repeatedly asked to come inside. She said she eventually thought, ‘Never mind, I’ll just leave the door open.’

Pre-kids, she might not have imagined she’d flush that particular boundary away.

She said she never imagined she’d become comfortable enough to use the restroom with the door open.

Ghouls just want to have fun.

During an October 2022 episode of The View, while discussing a woman who claimed her home was haunted by “sexual ghosts,” Sara Haines posed a surprising question to her fellow panelists: Could a person actually get pregnant from a ghost?

Luckily, Joy Behar, her co-host, chimed in with a humorous response: “I’ve had encounters with ghosts and never gotten pregnant.”

“I’m going to leave that statement as is,” Whoopi Goldberg responded. “I’m not sure everyone heard what Joy said, but I’m choosing not to comment further on it.”

Okay, so you NEED to hear this! I’m completely obsessed with Hoda and Jenna, and I just found out the most hilarious thing! Apparently, while they were getting ready for their show, Today with Hoda and Jenna, Hoda discovered Jenna always goes commando! Like, always! I’m dying! Can you imagine? They’re so close, sharing everything, and Hoda had NO idea! It’s just… amazing. I’m officially even more invested in their on-screen chemistry now, knowing this little secret!

Hoda Kotb shared a funny story on the November 2022 episode of Today with Hoda and Jenna. She explained that they both needed to quickly change outfits and had to head back to the dressing room. While there, Hoda realized Jenna Bush Hager doesn’t wear underwear.

Jenna’s rationale? Well, no underwear might just be more convenient to her.

She explained that the outfit creates a more flattering shape and is also easier to pack, adding that there are many benefits to choosing it.

Looks like someone hasn’t been keeping up.

Britney Spears related to a popular line from Keke Palmer – “He could be walking down the street, I wouldn’t know a thing” – and confessed she wasn’t familiar with Pete Davidson or Scott Disick.

Britney shared a funny video from March showing Pete Davidson—who was dating Kim Kardashian at the time—and Kourtney Kardashian’s ex, Scott Disick, having a fun night out. She said the video had her laughing a lot.

Britney apologized for sharing the post, explaining she didn’t know the people in the video but found it hilarious! She has since removed the original post.

Before Chris Evans became famous as Captain America and was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2022, Jana Kramer dated him and thought he was a really cute heartthrob.

The singer shared on her podcast, Whine Down with Jana Kramer, that this happened over ten years ago. While she doesn’t remember exactly how many times they went out, she does clearly remember their final meeting.

I remember Jana telling me that Chris invited her to his place when he had some friends visiting all the way from Boston. She was around 26 at the time, and it just seemed like a casual get-together.

Jana recalled that the last thing she remembered was her partner going to the bathroom right after she’d eaten asparagus, which changes the smell of your urine. They didn’t end up intimate that night; he stayed out with friends, and the next morning she left his house feeling embarrassed – what she jokingly called the ‘asparagus walk of shame’.

She added, “I never heard from him again.”

Not all of these confessions are amusing.

In December, television writer Elisabeth Finch confessed that she had fabricated a story about having a rare form of bone cancer. She originally shared this false diagnosis with ELLE magazine eight years prior, and it even became the basis for a plotline on Grey’s Anatomy.

Elisabeth recently confessed to telling a lie at age 34, which she considers the biggest regret of her life. She explained to The Ankler newsletter that the lie grew over time and became a heavy burden. She also clarified, “I have never had cancer.”

Finch, who was temporarily removed from their role on the ABC medical show before ultimately quitting, admitted, “I made a mistake. It was completely unacceptable and wrong, in every way.”

Beauty is pain, but Kim Kardashian might be able to stomach it.

The reality star told The New York Times she’d consider almost any procedure to look younger.

She admitted in June that she’d even consider something drastic – like eating something truly unpleasant daily – if it meant she could look younger. She emphasized she was serious, saying, ‘I just might.’

In a July 2022 interview with Allure, Kim explained she was mostly joking when she made the comment, but admitted the idea wasn’t completely awful.

Kim thought for a moment and then said, ‘Honestly, I’d probably eat something awful if someone promised it would make me look younger—even if it meant eating a bowl of poop every day.’

When asked if she could eat some, she said she might be able to manage a small bite, but didn’t think she could handle a full bowl.

Jelly Roll could’ve used some saving from himself.

During an April 2025 interview on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the singer of “Save Me” shared a truly embarrassing story, and didn’t hesitate to reveal all the details.

“I pooped myself one time,” he admitted. “I did, I’m sorry.”

To be honest, Jelly Roll (whose real name is Jason Bradley DeFord) didn’t intend to cause such serious harm.

He firmly believed it was just a misunderstanding. “I really apologize,” he said. “I saw the audience turn from supportive to completely against me.”
