Julianne Hough Says Sisters Felt ‘Sadness,’ Not Jealousy, About Divergent Paths

She describes repairing past distance by sharing successes more openly.

Overview

  • On the Sept. 9 Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Hough said her three older sisters pursued different lives after early performing together.
  • She recounted that withholding career news with brother Derek once created estrangement because their sisters felt excluded.
  • Hough said the family now prioritizes openness even when feelings are complicated, noting mutual envies of careers and family life.
  • She identified her sisters by name — Katherine, Sharee and Marabeth — and outlined their routes into early motherhood, a country music bid in Nashville and acting ambitions.
  • Entertainment Weekly reports all four Hough sisters appeared in the 2011 Footloose remake and that the older three now work as an esthetician, a realtor and a fitness instructor, as DWTS season 34 debuts Sept. 16 on ABC with Julianne cohosting and Derek judging.
