Tanner Courtad and Julianne Hough appear to be stepping into a new relationship. When the Bachelor Nation alum and Dancing With the Stars cohost were seen dining together in Los Angeles on December 5, it sparked rumors that they were dating.
Wearing sneakers, an olive green cropped jacket, and black leggings, Julianne held onto her dog's leash as she walked out of the Sportsman's Lodge shopping center for the outing in Studio City, California. The 36-year-old tucked her short blond hair behind her ears to complete her outfit for the event.
Tanner, wearing black shorts, white runners, and ankle socks, along with a black t-shirt, was carrying a to-go bag from Sugarfish, a sushi restaurant, next to her for the informal get-together. The 31-year-old wore a big smile and a black baseball hat to finish off his athletic look.
Tanner, who competed to win Charity Lawson's heart on season 20 of the Bachelorette before making an appearance on Bachelorette in Paradise in 2023, was linked to Vanderpump Rules alum Brittany Cartwright prior to his hangout with Julianne. He stoked dating rumors with Cartwright after the two were spotted together at a watch party in July with friends.
After five years of marriage, the dancer Julianne finally got a divorce from her ex-husband Brooks Laich in 2022. She also opened up about whether she felt prepared to enter into a relationship again last month.
During the Dancing With the Stars episode that aired on November 19, Julianne stated, "Well, you know, I am single, and I'm looking for a guy anywhere I can find one."
In October 2023, the update signaled a discernible change in her dating style.
At the time, Julianne told People, "To be honest, I am just keeping my heart open and kind of just letting the seasons flow and I'm focusing on Dancing With the Stars." "However, I'm prepared for it and my heart is open, but I'm not actively searching for anything."
