“Had I not been married … I would have actually hoped we would have had a love affair,” she told fellow “DWTS” alum Cheryl Burke during Sunday’s episode of the “Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans” podcast.
At the time, Brooke was married to ex-husband David Charvet during her winning 2008 appearance on the show, and explained her attraction to Hough (then 23).
“You are intertwined with someone’s body when you’re a dancer. There is no way that I have ever been so connected - besides with a lover or a husband - than I was with Derek,” she said.
“So for three months, you are in someone’s arms. Why do you think people fall in love?” Brooke explained.
“It can be more intimate than making love in a bedroom - you’re making love on a dance floor, you feel more connected. If you have energy, you’re doing this dance and you’re in the rhythm, and then there’s trust, then you’re sharing fear, you’re doing something you’ve never done. How many times do you go through an experience with someone where they’re all you’ve got?”
Brooke confessed that all that intimacy led her to start “crushing” on Hough.
“He was really tough, he was really hard on me. I’m OK with tough love. He did not love me through routines and support me and tell me that it was amazing. He was brutally honest,” she said.
David Charvet and Brooke would later divorce in 2018.
