Even Ryan's Girlfriend Thought He Was Gay
by Ryan Porter
Curse you and your misleading jokes, Simon Cowell! Julianne Hough turned Ryan Seacrest down for four years over rumours around his sexuality.
That
Ryan Seacrest is dating
Dancing With The Stars champ
Julianne Hough doesn't fully describe my surprise over this couple. It's more that the 35-year-old is dating a woman that's dropped my jaw. Well, Julianne and I are brothers from another mother. She blew off his advances for years because she thought he was gayer than
Paula Abdul's opera-glove-stocked wardrobe.
Julianne, who won
Dancing With The Stars with skater
Apolo Ohno and again with Brazilian race-car driver
Helio Castroneves, told friends over a birthday dinner at Morton's in Charlotte, North Carolina, that she's been rejecting him since she debuted on
Dancing in 2007.
"He was after me since I was 18," she said, TMZ reports. "He totally wasn't my type... I thought he was gay. After a few years, he was persistent... so I went out with him on a date and I realized how much I liked him."
They've now been dating for a few months, enjoying such
Bachelor-y dates as P.D.A.-ing on a yacht in Portofino, Italy. So that settles that. Ryan is not gay. He just likes 18-year-olds. And, yes, America is more comfortable with that.
