DWTS judge Julianne Hough: Celebrity contestant Jonathan Bennett ‘is gay’
Not sure if Jonathan Bennett was planning to make some big announcement about being gay but he doesn’t have to now.
Dancing With the Stars judge Julianne Hough has done it for him.
(Spare the comments like ‘I already knew’ or ;’I saw him at The Abbey’ – it’s not the point)
The point is that it’s his news to share.
Here’s how it went down:
Julianne, during an appearance on the syndicated entertainment show Extra, was chatting with host Mario Lopez, and said of Bennett: ‘He tweeted me last year and said, like, I had a nice butt, but he also tagged my trainer. And so I was like, “Oh, he’s hitting on me. I should try to go on a date with him.”‘
Lopez asked if anything came of it.
‘He’s gay,’ Hough replied. ‘So, I was like, that’s not gonna work.’
Bennett, 33, is best known for playing Aaron Samuels in the 2004 film Mean Girls and reportedly previously dated actor Matt Dallas who is now out publicly.
In addition to Mean Girls, Bennett’s other film credits include Cheaper by the Dozen 2 with Hilary Duff and Lovewrecked with Amanda Bynes.
He also starred in the direct-to-video prequel The Dukes of Hazzard: The Beginning, in which he played Bo Duke.
He is paired with professional dancer Allison Holker on DWTS.
Part of Bennett’s motivation for competing on the show is because it was a favorite both his parents. His father died of brain cancer in April and his mother died two years earlier.

Considering her background including her own life style and dating history – JH has lost my respect for being incredibly pc ignorant if not stupid.
JerryP says:
Only confirms why I have always disliked JH. She has no business being a judge but it is obvious she is there to display her assets and gain viewers. She should just stick to being a dancer. No acting ability at all!
Gaspar Marino says:
I totally agree with her being out of place.
How would she like it if someone outed her brother, or Mark Ballas without their permission.
That’s their business, not hers.
Wasn’t she a beard for Ryan Seacrest?
tj says:
She dated Ryan Seacrest so she outta know!
Joe says:
It totally digusts me when people like Hough out someone without their approval or knowledge. She’s an idiot anyhow.
