Julianne Hough's foray into the world of country music has already paid dividends with a number-one ranked album. Her self-titled CD, Julianne Hough, hit the top of the charts in May.

Now, the new career for the Dancing with the Stars professional - don't worry, she'll return to the series this fall - is paying off in personal ways, as well:

Hough is dating fellow country crooner Chuck Wicks.

"It's very difficult to date – I just got kind of lucky!" Hough said to People Magazine about Wicks, who she got to know when the two joined Brad Paisley on tour this summer.  "He's just a great guy! He's awesome and really, really talented."

Chuck Wicks better treat Julianne Hough well. We've got our eyes on him! (And on her, of course. Yowza!)
