Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich got engaged less than two weeks ago and it's been nothing but exciting moments for the happy couple ever since. After returning to social media following her quick break, the 27-year-old "Dancing With The Stars" judge showed off her engagement ring, making girls everywhere jealous of the massive diamond. One person who's extra happy for her, though, is her brother Derek.
"I can't wait. He's a great guy, he's a great dudw," Derek, 30, told Us Weekly about the news. "I'm excited to have a new brother, man. I'm excited!"
Typically, big brothers can be a little overprotective of their baby sister's, but Derek confirmed that he never had to have "the talk" with Laich about marrying his sister.
"It's funny because he's the kind of guy where you don't even have to have that kind of conversation," he explained. "He would never wrong her in that way ever."
It'll be exciting to see the two, who are obviously very close, reunite on the upcoming season of "Dancing With The Stars." When Julianne joined the judges last season, people wondered if she'd be giving her brother, who is a pro dancer for the show, any special treatment. She made sure to make it very clear that she would not be taking it easy on him.
"Everyone's fair game at this point," she told Hollywood Life at the time. "It's not me judging my brother - it's me judging the collaboration and connection that he has with his partner. I will call him out for sure. I'm not afraid of that. But he knows and hopefully everybody else knows too, it's never to diss anybody or call anybody out, it's because I really do want to see the people improve."
