HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Julianne Hough is leaving "Dancing With the Stars." No, really!
The 20-year-old dancing pro insists she's taking a break from the series after she and her boyfriend, singer Chuck Wicks, were eliminated Tuesday night.
"I'm not doing next season," Hough told Access Hollywood. "I'm gonna take one off."
Hough was originally planning to take the current season off, but the chance to match up with her beau was an offer that she couldn't refuse. Now she'll use the time off to focus on her blossoming country music career, with the hope the couple's fans will join the party.
"We definitely went further than anticipated," said Hough. "I think he could have made it a little bit further. But you know what? It's the name of the game and it's about fan base and hopefully our country fans will follow us into music."
Hough released her self-titled debut album last May.
