Well, it looks like the cat is out of the bag: “Dancing With the Stars” judge Julianne Hough accidentally let it slip that “DWTS” contestant Jonathan Bennett (ex-J.R. Chandler, “All My Children”) is gay!

The singer/actress/dancer/ex-girlfriend of Ryan Seacrest revealed the news during an interview with Extra last week. While chatting with host Mario Lopez, she opened up about Bennett, sharing a cute story about how he once tweeted her with a compliment about her butt — but that she couldn’t return the flirtiness, considering the “Mean Girls” actor is gay!

Unfortunately for Hough, Bennett has never officially commented on his sexuality — meaning the “DWTS” judge is the first to let the supposed news slip. Oops!

Bennett has yet to respond to Hough’s comment, and his rep hasn’t offered an official comment, either.
