Dancing With The Stars made its much anticipated return to television on Monday evening, but many viewers were left wondering “where’s Julianne?”
A #DWTS season without @juliannehough is literally breaking my heart I NEED her sweet & positive attitude on the judges panel!

Judges Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba returned to fill their spots, but fourth judge, Julianne Hough, was nowhere to be seen.

Apparently Julianne, who just got married this summer, is sitting this season out.
Although Julianne has given no explanation, her brother Derek Hough told Entertainment Tonight his sister has a lot of things on her plate:
“We were supposed to go back on tour, she’s just newly married, she is a very focused woman,” Derek revealed to Entertainment Tonight. “She has her sights set on other opportunities and other things.”
