During the “Dancing With the Stars” season finale on Tuesday, Julianna Hough engaged in a playful exchange with former NFL player Danny Amendola following his performance.
After completing their freestyle routine dressed as Ken and Barbie, Amendola and his partner Witney Carson joined Hough on a prop bed for their scoring. When Hough inquired about his experience dancing as Ken, Amendola responded with a flirtatious question, “I think the real question, Julianne, is why are you in my bed?”

As Carson glanced away with an “Oh,” Hough cleverly countered, “Is that an invitation?” before swiftly transitioning to announce their scores.
The interaction comes after Hough, who finalized her divorce from Brooks Laich in 2022, recently expressed her single status on the show. During the Nov. 19 episode, she had mentioned, “Well, you know, I am single and I’m looking for a guy anywhere I can find one.”
The judges awarded Amendola and Carson’s performance with an impressive 29 out of 30. Despite their strong showing, the season’s ultimate victory went to former “Bachelor” Joey Graziadei and professional dancer Jenna Johnson, who claimed the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.
