Season 33 of Dancing with the stars is officially over, but we’re still talking about a few surprises and scandalous final moments. One example came courtesy of former NFL player Danny Amendola. During the November 26 finale, Amendola and dance partner Witney Carson performed in front of one Barbie-inspired freestyle that completes the number by meeting on a support bed designed to look like Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House from the film. Like every other dance duo that night, they then met with Julianne Hough to receive their grades.

“What’s it like dancing as Ken?” Hough asked Amendola. The athlete cheekily replied, “I think the real question is, Julianne, why are you in my bed?” Carson looked away and said an awkward “Oh,” but Hough was quick with a comeback. “Is that an invitation?” she asked Amendola with a laugh and added: “Let’s get your points!”

Although there have been rumors that Amendola is dating TikToker Xandra Pohl, he told E! In September there was news that Pohl was “a great friend of mine” – Hough recently announced that she was ready to date again. “Well, you know, I’m single,” she said during the Nov. 19 episode Dancing with the stars. “And I’m looking for a man wherever I can find one.”

Athletes seem to be Hough’s type. She was previously married to former NHL player Brooks Laich and divorced him in 2022. The dancer has previously stated that she identifies as “not heterosexual” but still wants a relationship with a man.

“I feel like I’m with a man,” Hough said on the Sept. 23 episode The Jamie Kern Lima Show. “I want to have a partner and build a life with someone, start a family. My heart is open.”
