Hough = Huff
Julianne Hough has reacted after claims emerged that Alfonso earns more than she does for hosting Dancing With The Stars.
A ballroom insider claims Alfonso earns around $1.75 million per season, while Julianne is estimated to earn $1.25 million. That’s a $500,000 gap, despite them sharing the hosting role.
The source says Alfonso’s higher pay reflects his experience. He’s been hosting since 2022, but he also has history with the competition, having won Season 19 with Witney Carson.
Julianne has plenty of experience herself. She’s a two-time champion, previously served as a judge and has been part of the show since she first joined as a professional dancer. So I can understand why some people might question such a big difference.
The insider also explained the thinking behind the pay gap, saying: “But Alfonso is considered the ‘main host’ so he gets more than Julianne.”
Julianne has now reacted to the figures herself. Underneath a post about the story, she commented, “And I’m fine with that!”
I like how calmly she’s taken it, but I definitely think that she deserves more.
Before you go, I wanna know, should Alfonso earn more as the main host, or should they be paid equally?
