Derek and Julianne Hough, the renowned sibling duo, have taken a moment to express their heartfelt gratitude to their parents, who they credit for shaping not only their careers but their lives. In a joint tribute, the Houghs acknowledged their parents’ selfless sacrifices, love, and guidance throughout their journey in the world of dance and beyond.
“From the very beginning, our parents were there, tirelessly supporting us,” Derek shared in an emotional statement. “They believed in us when we were just kids with big dreams. They worked hard to provide everything we needed and never wavered in their belief in us, even during the most challenging times.”
Julianne, known for her powerful performances on both the dance floor and in Hollywood, added, “They gave us more than just the skills to succeed. They instilled in us a sense of kindness, humility, and determination that has carried us through everything. Their strength and love are the foundation of everything we do.”
Growing up in a household where dance was central to their lives, both Derek and Julianne saw their parents go above and beyond, sacrificing their own dreams to support their children’s ambitions. Their dedication to the arts laid the groundwork for the siblings’ success in both competitive dance and entertainment, with Derek winning multiple “Dancing with the Stars” titles and Julianne becoming a two-time champion herself, while also pursuing a career in acting and music.
As they continue to thrive in their respective careers, the Houghs remain committed to honoring their parents’ influence by living with the same passion, integrity, and love they received growing up. “We owe everything to them,” they concluded.
