Julianne Hough Working Out Details To Do Dancing With The Stars, Wedding Planning, And More
Today, Julianne Hough and her fiancé Brooks Laich answered questions from fans on a live stream on Instagram. Brad and Hailey Devine stopped into the chat. Brooks mom also made a surprise appearance. Here are some things said….
-Brooks said that before he and Julianne started dating, one of his teammates in Washington DC used to BLAST one of her songs in the locker room..
-Julianne and Brooks said they have their honeymoon figured out and they want to do something “beachy”, but, also want to do some type of service project. They also have chosen most of the songs for the wedding. They also have their dance song narrowed to about 5. They also have picked out their colors, the and photographer, and the videographer. So, quite a bit wedding planning has been done, and they are working on more.
-Julianne also mentioned doing Dancing With The Stars and working on the details for it and how she’d have to fly on Mondays during her and Derek’s Move Beyond Tour.
Too awesome. Special thanks to Lori and Jennie for all the info.

Re: Maks Is Back! Season 23
Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd open up about parenting
abcnews.go.com
murgatroyyd:
“Dancing with the Stars” pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd are adjusting to life as parents of their newborn son, Shai – including the challenges of exposing their child to the world.
Murgatroyd, 30, sitting with Chmerkovskiy, 37, called it “nerve-wracking” to show their son on TV in their first interview since Shai’s Jan. 4 birth.
“I specifically wanted to keep him very private from the beginning because we wanted him to ourselves,” Murgatroyd told “Good Morning America” weekend anchor Paula Faris. “I think he’s just so special that we wanted those moments, those first moments, to be for ourselves.
“And you know, there’s going to come a time where he’s going to be with us walking hand-in-hand down the street and everyone’s going to be able to see him,” she said. “And there’s so many moments and opportunities that are gonna come up very soon where you just, you can’t hide him any longer.”
“This is our child,” Chmerkovskiy said of Shai, whose name means “gift” in Hebrew. “Every time somebody comes over, you kind of share him with somebody else.”
Murgatroyd has been public about one thing – recognizing the challenges of parenting. She made headlines for posting a photo of herself eight days after giving birth and speaking honestly about being “disappointed.”
“I left the hospital literally looking five months pregnant and at first I was like, ‘Oh, wow,’ like, I was a little disappointed,” Murgatroyd told “GMA.” “And I just realized that I just did the most beautiful thing that a woman can produce and do in life and I need to just suck it up, move on, and you know not worry about the little things.”
Not worrying about the little things for Murgatroyd includes not yet worrying about whether she will return to “DWTS” for season 24.
“It’s not about me anymore,” she said. “It’s got nothing to do with me and how I look and if I’ve got mascara on to go outside.”
She continued, “It is all about Shai and it’s amazing. I’m okay with it.”
Murgatroyd admitted she was surprised by how long it has taken her to resume her fitness routine post-pregnancy.
“I could hardly move, like, I’m a professional dancer and it was difficult to get back because I haven’t done it since I won with Nyle,” she said, referring to her Season 22 “DWTS” victory with partner Nyle DiMarco. “I didn’t think it was going to take this long, honestly. I was, like, ‘Oh, I’ll be back running in three days.’”
Murgatroyd has started a lifestyle blog, “All Things Fam & Glam,” to reach out to other moms who may be going through a similar experience.
“I wanted other women to know that it’s okay and that this is all normal and you don’t have to feel bad about your post-baby body,” she said. “I mean, it was such a beautiful thing and you just have to be patient and you have to love yourself and love yourself through this whole process, because it’s a lot.”
