Julianne Hough Still Adjusting to Paparazzi Hounding Her and Boyfriend Ryan Seacrest

By Zach Dionne Posted Apr 12th 2011 01:20PM

'Dancing With the Stars' performer Julianne Hough covers the May issue of Women's Health, and she's not too shy to talk about boyfriend Ryan Seacrest.

On a recent vacation in Mexico with her beau, Hough was rubbed the wrong by paparazzi. "I was thinking, 'Oh, crap, maybe I should've sucked in a little.' They were photographing us from a boat, and it was the first time I've gotten upset, like 'I can't just lay out and stuff my face?' It really messes with you," she said.

Asked who would be a great match for 'Dancing With the Stars,' Hough, a professional dancer as well as a recording artist, said, "Justin Timberlake would not be a bad dancing partner!"

On her favorite 'Dancing With the Stars' partner of all time: "I hope my partners don't get mad at this but Apollo is probably my favorite because he was my first partner. You know, it was my first time. I got three tens for the first time, got to do the Pasa Doble for the first time and just experience everything for the first time so [Apollo] was definitely my favorite."

A family is in her future: "I'm starting to be more passionate about [eating natural foods]. I don't want to have kids anytime soon, but when I do, I want my body to be healthy."

On staying fit while she's on the road: "It's so hard to stay fit while you're traveling, but for me it always makes me feel better on the inside if I've worked out."

On being fit: "It's what you want to feel on the inside, not necessarily what you want to look like on the outside."

On her body: "Growing up, I could eat anything, but the minute I hit 22, I stopped dancing and kept eating whatever I wanted, and I gained weight. Then I started reading [critical] comments in blogs. That freaks you out and you get caught up in it. But if I deprive myself, I end up binge eating. I didn't want to do that. Now if I want something, I'll have it and I won't feel guilty. Then the next day I won't crave it."

Andrew, something tells me the same thing!! She wants all the attention she can get. Probably feels like Ryan can take her to the top. She's an opportunist, in my opinion.

I've always ABSOLUTELY LOVED Julianne since the very 1st time she appeared on "DWTS". She was just 18 (going on 19)at that time. I've REALLY, REALLY missed her since she has taken the 'time off' DWTS to pursue her singing & acting career(s). She really is a "triple threat" (Dancing, Acting, Singing)! Do wish she would go back to DWTS every once in awhile. I so, so ENJOY her dancing. I imagine, though, that since she & her brother, Derek (who is 25) have been dancing since she was like 9 or 10 (over in England). Mark Ballis' dad, Corky, trained Mark, Derek & Julianne for around 8/9 years in England and they (Julianne & Derek) are like a brother & sister to Mark Ballis. They grew up (and trained together)! Mark & Derek are also part of a band/singing group! I believe Julianne that NOW @ 22 years of age (and since she is no longer dancing so avidly...either practicing or chorographing or being on the DWTS live TV show) that she would (now) be in the position of needing to watch what she eats and to eat healthfully, etc. Before she was dancing soooo much that she'd easily burn up tons of calories even IF she were to indulge in eating less than healthy foods (especially when she was a teenager or even at 20 years of age).
When she was touring (and singing...with that former boy friend...with whom she "partnered up with" on her last season while on DWTS); she said that she gained weight (like 8 or 10 lbs) b/c they were constantly eating/snacking, etc. Apparently, being on a "singing/concert tour" does not burn up the calories that dancing does. She did lose the extra lbs and then danced with her boy friend at the time & I believe that is the LAST TIME we saw her on DWTS. (Wish I could remember her (former) BF's name). Oh well. She really seems to ADORE Ryan Seacrest, though. And Ryan seems to be absolutely "head over heels" SMITTEN with Julianne! He has taken her to Pairs with his parents & his sister and taken her on/(to) little vacation spots (like in the Caribbean & other out of the way islands, etc)! She does tend to gain an extra few lbs (like at least 5 or so) when she is going with Ryan to all these special getaway resorts, etc.
She has a dance workout video. She could very easily use her workout video to get her exercise to "counter-act" any extra lbs which she may gain while being 'whisked away' to special cities (IE: Paris) or these resort (islands)! Also, her DWTS "buddies"...like Karina and a couple others have dancing video workouts out as well. If she just did the dancing videos..she should be able to maintain her tiny cute shape (along w/eating a better balanced/healthy diet!). I'm not sure about the "age difference"...Julianne is 22 and Ryan just turned 36. Guess that's "plausible"...but it is a 14 year age difference. (Not quite the difference bvetween Katie (Holmes) Cruise & Tom (Cruise). I really hope that Julianne does go back and do a DWTS season or two, though!

Doubt that Ryan's into producing children...unless a turkey baster was involved.
