In a recent appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Julianne expressed that for the first time, her ovaries are “screaming,” signaling her readiness to become a mom.
Although she’s already an aunt to her three older sisters’ children, Julianne admitted that she’s now at a stage in her life where she can envision herself as a mother.

As their conversation continued, Julianne reflected on the joy of supporting her brother and sister-in-law as they prepare for parenthood.
In a separate appearance on the show, Julianne had the opportunity to walk through the “Spirit Tunnel,” a hallway filled with employees singing and hyping up the show’s guests. The experience resonated with Julianne, who expressed her gratitude for the warm welcome she received.
Derek and Hayley have been sharing their journey to parenthood on social media since announcing their pregnancy in July. The couple, both with ties to Dancing with the Stars, have shown fans glimpses of their nursery preparations and fun bump photos along the way.
Despite experiencing a miscarriage before this pregnancy, Derek and Hayley have approached this new chapter with grace and resilience. As they eagerly await their baby’s arrival, they recently celebrated with a baby shower organized by Julianne.
In conclusion, as Julianne Hough looks forward to becoming an aunt, her brother Derek’s journey to fatherhood has sparked thoughts of her own path to motherhood. With the support of her family, Julianne is excited to embrace this new chapter alongside Derek and Hayley.
