Julianne Hough stirred up excitement during the Dancing With the Stars Season 33 finale when a playful moment with contestant Danny Amendola took an unexpected turn. Her response to his bold comment quickly became a hot topic, leaving fans eager to know more. So, what did Hough say about Danny Amendola flirting with her?
Here’s a closer look at the moment that stole the spotlight.
Julianne Hough, co-host of Dancing With the Stars, had a moment with Danny Amendola that left fans buzzing during the Season 33 finale on November 26. After Amendola and his partner, Witney Carson, performed a Barbie-themed freestyle to Lizzo’s “Pink” and Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken”, the trio gathered on a prop bed inspired by Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House to receive their scores.
Hough initiated the banter by asking Amendola how it felt to dance as Ken. The former NFL star cheekily turned the spotlight back on her, replying, “I think the real question, Julianne, is why are you in my bed?” Without missing a beat, Hough grinned and quipped, “Oh, is that an invitation?” before seamlessly returning the focus to the scores.
The flirty interaction drew laughter from the audience. It even caught Hough’s brother, fellow judge Derek Hough, off guard and prompted his amused reaction, “What is happening?!” Meanwhile, Carson appeared surprised.
Although Amendola and Carson finished fifth in the competition, the lively exchange became a standout moment of the finale. It also aligned with Hough’s recent comments about her single status. Having finalized her divorce from Brooks Laich in 2022, she joked during a prior episode, “I’m single and I’m looking for a guy anywhere I can find one.”
Meanwhile, Amendola has downplayed dating rumors involving TikToker Xandra Pohl, describing her as “a friend.” (via E! News)
