Longtime DWTS Cast Member Sparks Dating Rumors

“Dancing With the Stars” co-host Julianne Hough may have a new man in her life. According to photos posted by Page Six, Hough had dinner at the Sportsman’s Lodge shopping center in Studio City, California, with a not-so-mystery man.

Hough was seen walking with Tanner Courtad whom fans may recognize from his time on Charity Lawson’s season of “The Bachelorette.” He was also on “Bachelor in Paradise.”

Both Hough and Courtad were dressed casually and she brought her dog along for the outing. It’s unknown if the two are romantically involved, but some fans think this could be a budding new romance.

Tanner Courtad Was in the Audience at ‘Dancing With the Stars’ on the Night Julianne Hough Danced

As it turns out, Hough and Courtad’s dinner in Studio City wasn’t the first time they’ve been in the same room together.

According to Us Weekly, Courtad was in the audience at DWTS season 33, seated next to Joey Graziadei’s fiancee, Kelsey Anderson. While it may seem obvious that he was on-hand to support his “Bachelorette” co-star, he was also there on the night that Hough had her solo dance moment.

Most DWTS fans will remember when Hough took the stage during the semifinals. She whipped off her outfit to uncover a dance costume and took the floor by storm. She danced an impressive number to “Man in Finance,” which was a surprise to almost everyone in the room.

To be fair, Courtad was at quite a few shows over the course of the season, cheering on Graziadei. However, it seems that he and Hough hit it off in some way and may be exploring something romantic together.

Tanner Courtad Was Linked to Bravo’s Brittany Cartwright Before Julianne Hough

Courtad didn’t find love on “The Bachelorette” but he doesn’t seem to be shying away from dating in the reality television world.

Prior to being seen with Hough, he was romantically linked to former “Vanderpump Rules” star Brittany Cartwright. According to the Daily Mail, the two met at a “Bachelorette” watch party. Said watch party held at Cartwright’s ex-husband’s eatery in Studio City.

“Brittany and Tanner have been hanging out together,” a source told the outlet. The source also said that Cartwright and Courtad had been getting to know one another. And that Courtad had been “tagging along as Brittany films ‘The Valley.'”

A photo of the two at Jax’s Studio City was also shared by the Daily Mail. It’s unknown if the two saw one another romantically or if they were ever officially an item.
