It's okay to cry, guys.

Julianne Hough says she really isn't returning to Dancing with the Stars next season.

The breathtaking professional made a similar threat in November, but changed her mind when the show paired her with real-life boyfriend Chuck Wicks.

"I wasn't planning to come back this season because I wanted to focus on my music," Hough said at Sunday night's Academy of Country Music Awards, during which she won Top New Artist. "But I went back and it’s been so much fun to dance with my good friend who happens to be my boyfriend."

Pressed about her future, though, Hough simply said: "I will be taking next season off."

So will millions of male viewers, Julianne.
