Julianne Hough Details Freezing Her Eggs for the Third Time at 36 in Candid New Interview: 'I'm Reclaiming My Power' (Exclusive)
Julianne Hough is getting candid about her hopes for her next chapter of her life and career The Dancing with the Stars pro discusses her recent egg-freezing journey and went into the decision to do the process again for the third time She also reveals a non-negotiable when datingJulianne Hough was just 18 when she joined Dancing with the Stars as a professional dancer in 2007, with only $2,000 in her pocket after moving from Utah to Los Angeles. And now, 18 years later, Hough, 36, is reflecting on what she'd tell teenage Julianne, whose beginnings on the show would launch a career beyond her wildest dreams. After a pause, Hough says, "Honestly, I wouldn't tell her anything." "She got me here today," she continues. "It's so funny because I think we always want to give our younger selves advice, but you don't know what you don't know until you know it." "Every moment that I've gone through, whether it be painful mistakes, self-sabotaging, or being brave and taking a risk and putting yourself out there are just part of the journey," she says. "They build character." She left the show in 2009 and returned in 2014 to serve as a judge, a position she held until 2017. In the years she spent away from the show, she steadily carved out an acting career for herself with roles in films like 2010's Burlesque, 2011's Footloose, 2012's Rock of Ages and 2013's Safe Haven. She also played Sandy in the live Fox television production of Grease in 2016 and launched her Los Angeles dance and fitness studio KINRGY in 2018. "Being a founder is one of the hardest things you'll ever do because it's like you have an idea, and then you have to let it go and let it breathe and do its own thing," she says. "The best compliment I get is when people come up to me and are like, 'Wow, everybody who's here made me feel so welcomed. What you've created here has allowed me to connect to my body and my confidence." "I wasn't really showing it to be like, 'I'm going to make a big statement,' but with the response I got, I realized how important it was," she says. "I found out I have endometriosis when I was 19 or 20, and I wish back then I would've been told to freeze my eggs, but I wasn't told until later on." Hough's decision to undergo her most recent egg-freezing process, her third total, had a lot to do with freeing herself from the "psychological fear" of a ticking biological clock. Along with her endometriosis, "I have some other health implications that might make [conceiving] challenging, and I got a divorce and now I'm in a different stage of life," she says. "For me, it's never been about, 'I'm not ready,' but I know it is for some people. I think the time will be right when it's right." Since the first time she went through the egg-freezing process, Hough has noticed her growth. "It ain't easy when you're doing the shots, but I will say this time around, I had a much better understanding of what I needed," she says. "Also, the first time I did it, I didn't do the shots myself. I went in every day, and they did them for me. Then I was like, 'Wait, I feel really empowered doing them myself.' Along the way I was able to call friends who have gone through it at any moment and be like, 'Hey, I feel really crazy right now. Can you just come over and sit next to me?'" "I always cognitively tried to live my life where I wasn't concerned about what others thought, but to truly feel it is a different thing," she says. "Now, I see it as, 'This is my one life that I get to live, and I get to design it however I want.' I'm reclaiming my own power. Then, whatever is supposed to come will naturally come." "I think I have faith in general that I'm the person my person is also waiting for, you know?" she says. "If I'm ready for that next chapter of my life, it's because I'm in a really good place. So, I've just been focusing on what makes me happy and my vision of what I'm looking for, but not holding on too tightly. Me and my [dog] Sunny girl, we are happy, we are thriving, and creating space for whatever comes next." So "must love dogs" is a non-negotiable? "I'm not going to lie, I went on a date once and they said they didn't like dogs, and I was like, 'The date is over,'" she says with a laugh. "They even went one step further and were like, 'I mean, I guess I could like a dog if it was like a cat.' I was like, 'Oh my gosh, stop the car!'" Since 2023, she's co-hosted DWTS with Alfonso Ribeiro, and the duo are currently preparing for season 34 to kick off in September. She'll also return to the big screen in Maggie Gyllenhaal's Frankenstein-inspired film The Bride! premiering in 2026. "I haven't done a movie in a very long time," she says. "To be a part of this cast and to work with the director, Maggie, in a role where I felt like, 'Oh, I know I can do well in this,' after not having that be my focus for a long time was a beautiful experience and foray back into the world of acting and filmmaking." As she heads into a busy fall, Hough — who is also the new celebrity ambassador of Icelandic Glacial water — is debating on taking some much-deserved time off. "This year has been a little bit of a transition for me, and even during the pandemic I was building KINRGY, so I didn't really take a proper break," she says. "I'm about to start something new and it's going to take a lot of energy and focus, so I might just take July and August off." And yet, there's no doubt her vision for this next chapter will remain at the forefront of her mind. "I just want to be a space or a person or a product that allows people to connect to their most authentic version of themselves," she says. "This next season of my life is more about taking all the things that I've learned and sort of passing it along in a way where it activates other people to step into their power."

Tone, the Personal Care Brand Founded by Six Twitch Streamers, Is Entering Target
Is the era of Twitch streamer-founded beauty brands upon us? If the breakout success of Tone, a unisex personal care brand launched in February by Atlanta-based content group AMP, or Any Means Possible, to the tune of near-instant seven-figure sales is any indication, yes. More from WWD Berlin Retailer Solebox Brings Zellerfeld's 3D-Printed Shoe Experience In-Store Onitsuka Tiger Opens Champs-Élysées Flagship as It Sets Its Sights on a Century More Than 30 Convicted for Roles in Organized Retail Theft Ring The line, which debuted direct-to-consumer with body lotions, deodorants and lip balms coming in four scent families and each priced under $15, is now entering retail with a nationwide Target foray. As part of the rollout, Tone will add two products — body wash and a body mist, called Cologne — to its assortment. 'Part of the Tone concept was a focus on accessibility, so being in brick-and-mortar where we can tell the story behind the brand and the product in a higher-touch way is important,' said the brand's chief executive officer Nathaniel Weiss, previously president of clean body care brand Nécessaire. Tone launched in partnership with Night, the media company and talent agency which works with many of AMP's members, who are Kai Cenat, Duke Dennis, Fannum, Agent 00, ImDaviss and ChrisNxtDoor. Best known for their gaming broadcasts and challenges, the cohort are among Twitch's most prominent content groups and collectively counts tens of millions of followers across members' respective channels. (Cenat has the largest audience with 18.1 million followers on the platform, and anywhere from 1.5 million to 11.3 million views of his most recent, hours-long broadcasts.) 'The depth of connection between the viewer and the creator on Twitch is not like that of any other platform,' Weiss said. 'Being streaming-native is, in some ways, just more intimate — there's this constant, live reaction from the audience in the chat which creates a two-way dialogue; there are also people who subscribe and pay a certain amount each month to watch ad-free — it's very different from other channels.' AMP has leveraged these strengths in promoting Tone. The brand was unveiled via a Twitch broadcast, which led to more than 100,000 users being on the Tone website at any given point during the stream, and the Target partnership will similarly be revealed via an antics-filled broadcast. 'We're doing an overnight livestream inside a Target store where the guys will kind of have the run of the place while the store is closed and be able to tell people what's going on with Tone,' said Weiss, adding that 'there will be, as the brand continues to scale, a role for other social platforms, but we want to be where the core audience conversation is — and for most of the guys, that's Twitch.' The brand's four scent families are Coconut, Fresh, Citrus and Woodland, with the former two being the heroes thus far. Tone's deodorants are aluminum-free and key ingredients in the new body wash include glycerin and citric acid. 'We believe that what gets people excited about this category is how things smell, but also a focus on efficacy — marrying those two and doing it at an accessible price point, we felt, would be a powerful combination,' Weiss said. As for the core consumer: 'It's very clearly Gen Alpha through Gen Z, ethnically diverse; perhaps one of the things that has been surprising to us is that our consumer has been 35 percent to 40 percent female,' said Weiss, adding that AMP members have some minority female followings, likely contributing to this dynamic, and Tone aims to broaden its reach among consumers of all genders. The brand will double down on its fragrance-forward approach for upcoming innovations, catering to young consumers' growing interest in scent. 'We're thinking about what other form factors we could put fragrance in that are not your traditional deodorants and body washes, but also aren't eau de toilette and eau de parfum — you'll see some fun stuff from us on that in the next 12 to 18 months — as well as selectively adding to the scent portfolio,' Weiss said.

Meghan Markle Shares Adorable Tradition Started on Second Date With Prince Harry
THE RUNDOWN On July 4, Meghan Markle shared a post for Independence Day, which also happens to be the anniversary of her second date with Prince Harry. The short carousel included a photo with a plate of cupcakes in red, white, and blue, with the hand of one of her kids reaching for a sweet treat. The next slide was a selfie of her and Harry that may have been taken on that long-ago date, and then a final picture of a cupcake reading: '4th of July.' In the caption, Meghan wrote, 'Our second date was the 4th of July 2016 and H brought me cupcakes to celebrate. Now, all these years later, our two children are in on the tradition. Happy Independence Day! May your day be as sweet as these cupcakes 🧁' The pair has been together for nine years. In April, Meghan reflected on why she feels the marriage is definitely going to stand the test of time while being interviewed on The Jamie Kern Lima Show. The Duchess of Sussex and Kern are close friends off mic, and Kern asked if Meghan thinks she and Harry will 'be married forever.' Meghan responded, 'Yes,' adding, 'He's also a fox, if you haven't noticed. My husband's very, very handsome. But his heart is even more beautiful.' 'There's something that is not to be taken for granted when you have a partner and a spouse who is just so behind you,' Meghan continued. 'You know, I mean, H, that man loves me so much. And you know, look what we built. We've built a beautiful life, and we have two healthy, beautiful children, [Archie and Lilibet]. And you know, I always think about it like the end of Super Mario Brothers when you get to the final, final level. And what's the goal in Super Mario? They're like, slay the dragon, save the princess. I'm like, that's my just going to do whatever he can to make sure that our family is safe and protected, and we're uplifted and still make time for date nights.'
