Julianne Hough, who was raised Mormon, says ex Ryan Seacrest introduced her to wine
foxnews.comJulianne Hough said this week that when she dated former "Live" host Ryan Seacrest more than a decade ago, he introduced her to the world of fine wine. "When I was 21, I actually ended up dating your former host, and he's very much into wine," the professional dancer and actress told Kelly Clarkson on her show Thursday while the two sampled Hough's wine brand.
