Hough's brother Derek Hough, who will serve as a pro dancer on the show again, elaborated on his sister's departure from the reality dancing competition.
"I think she did three great seasons, and it's time for her to go," Derek told ET. "She's got great things on the horizon, and she's doing great things. Len's coming back, and so, you know, I think four judges feels a little redundant anyways, so I think it's the right thing to do."
ABC declines comment on casting rumors.
