Julianne Hough, the celebrated dancer and former 'Dancing With The Stars' professional, has been soaking up the sun on a picturesque getaway in Costa Rica. The 37-year-old shared a series of vibrant photos from her tropical escape on Instagram this Sunday, showcasing a blissful retreat from her Los Angeles home.
Sun-Kissed Getaway in Paradise
The Utah-born star was pictured living her best life, dancing joyfully on a pristine white sand beach. Hough turned heads in a skimpy leopard-print string bikini, confidently displaying her toned physique and flawless figure as she enjoyed the coastal scenery. The photo set wasn't just about solo glamour shots; it offered a glimpse into her holiday adventures with friends, local culinary experiences, and even a muddy Jeep ride through the lush jungle, accessorised with a mini-skirt.
'My Ovaries Are Screaming': Motherhood on Her Mind
This idyllic vacation comes just months after Hough made a heartfelt revelation about her personal life. During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the star – who finalised her divorce from Brooks Laich in 2022 and is currently single – expressed a strong desire to start a family. 'I'm ready to be a mum,' she declared, adding emphatically, 'My ovaries are screaming.'
Her brother, fellow dancer Derek Hough, and his wife Hayley Erbert recently welcomed a baby girl, Everley Capri Hough, which has clearly influenced Julianne's perspective. She described seeing her brother's journey into parenthood 'through different eyes' and predicted their daughter would be 'the most creative, talented genius on the planet.' Ever the supportive sister, she pledged, 'Aunt Juju is gonna be there, just supporting it.'
Life Lessons from the Dance Floor
In a recent conversation with Us Weekly, Julianne reflected on how her long-standing dance career, which began on Dancing with the Stars in 2007, has shaped her character. She credits the discipline with teaching her invaluable 'life lessons of resilience and tenacity.'
'[Learning] how to show up and add value, how to be connected to your uniqueness. All of those things shaped us, from our guides and our mentors,' Hough explained. Her brother Derek echoes this sentiment, stating that the lessons learned from his coaches in the dance studio fundamentally shaped 'who I am today as a man, and as a person,' though he has previously admitted to placing immense pressure on himself in his youth.
From breathtaking beach moments to candid confessions about her future, Julianne Hough's Costa Rican holiday paints a picture of a star embracing life's adventures while thoughtfully planning her next chapter.
