‘What’s the Opposite of Tradwife’?

Julianne Hough is heating things up in the kitchen.

On Sunday, Sept. 22, the dancer and actress, 36, shared a lighthearted clip on Instagram of herself whipping up a meal — while wearing nothing but a teeny white bikini and a pair of sunglasses.

She can be seen dancing by a stove in a kitchen as she cooks something in a pan and then assembles what looks like a salad. At one point, she picks up her dog for a cuddle and feeds the pet a bite of food.

The video, set to Rocketman’s “Orange Coffee,” ends with Hough digging into her meal al fresco, as her dog looks on. She cheekily captioned the post, “What’s the opposite of #tradwife😉,” a reference to the viral tradwife — or “traditional wife” — trend, which involves women practicing conventional gender roles within a relationship.

Content creators on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram have gained large followings by showing off their lives as homemakers, including preparing elaborate homemade meals and wearing modest, 1950s-inspired clothing.

Hough’s followers appeared to enjoy her spicy cooking video, with some even suggesting that she had hit on a new content niche for her account. “Omg. We need cooking with Jules 🙌🔥,” one fan commented on the post.

“Fab wife ❤️,” wrote another.

Hough’s cooking clip comes after she recently opened up in more detail about her sexuality, five years after revealing publicly that she is “not straight.”

During an appearance on The Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast on Aug. 27, the Safe Haven star reflected on how her life has changed since coming out in a 2019 Women’s Health article, an experience she described as both “vulnerable” and “empowering.”

“Coming out is one of the most vulnerable and empowering things that you can do,” she told host Jamie Kern Lima. “I think for me, it was very much like — it’s not about being straight or gay or bi or queer. It’s more about, ‘I think I’m just learning like what love is and I love people and I don’t know what I’m attracted to, but I choose you.’ ”

“I was starting to see people and seeing their hearts and seeing their beauty and their essence coming through in a way that I was like, ‘Wow, I love people,’ ” Hough continued. “And I don’t know if it’s a sexual attraction or a ‘this’ attraction, but I’m just seeing people. And that was such a beautiful revelation too.”

Shortly after the article’s release in 2019, Hough told Extra that she received a lot of love and support from her friends and family, as well as her fans. She acknowledged that isn’t always the case for everyone in the LGBTQ+ community.

“I feel really lucky, and a lot of people who don’t have the platform or the support that I have aren’t that lucky,” she said. “So I just want to say I’m super grateful for my family, my friends and the support from all my fans that I’ve had.”

Hough added, “But also to spread that … to the people who don’t have that kind of support. That would be my wish.”
