So, will you be rooting Hudson on when DWTS: Juniors premieres? Comment below.
Watched the kids Tues.night, and they were very good. Our young Hudson was quite noticeable with all that blond hair flying around as he danced. I think the DWTS Jr’s.starts on the 7th of Oct.
Most of these kids are adorable and talented. But…I wince when I see kids this young being put in such public positions and high stakes competitions. I know we need child actors but this just makes me sad for these youngsters. I’m sure the show will be enjoyable on an entertainment level but, and this is just my opinion, I couldn’t expose my kids to this. Sorry if I sound old-fashioned.

According to court documents on Friday via TMZ, Justin is citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of the split.
The date of their separation is listed as July 8, 2019, which has perplexed those in the media when the pair have been seen together in recent months at Hollywood events and sharing posts of one another on their social media accounts.
Justin and Chrishell were last seen together in public last week on November 14th at a Hollywood Reporter-sponsored pre-Golden Globes party. Reps for both actors have you to share statements or make a comment.
Hartley and Stause tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Malibu’s Calamigos Ranch back in October 28th, 201, which was four years to the day after they met.
As daytime fans know, Justin and Chrishell met when they were both part of the soap opera community. Justin was last on daytime as Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless. Hartley has one child, Isabella, from a previous marriage to another soap actress, Lindsay Korman, who he met when they both were on the defunct NBC soap Passions. Justin and Lindsay were married for 8 years.
We will update you as they warrant in this developing story. And on personal note: we wish nothing but the best for both Justin and Chrishell.
