Originally posted 11/20/2009 03:10PM
If big brothers excel at one thing, it's protecting their little sisters. But Dancing with the Stars pro Derek Hough says his sister, Julianne Hough, is doing just fine after her breakup with Chuck Wicks.
"She's 21 years old and her career is skyrocketing right now and it's tough to sustain a relationship, especially with somebody who's so much older than her," Derek, 24, told PEOPLE Thursday at Diddy's 40th birthday bash at New York's Plaza Hotel.
As for how Julianne, 21, and Wicks, 30, are each handling the split, Derek says, "They're both good. He's a great guy – he's cool."

Talk about job perks: In her upcoming music video for "99 Times," singer-songwriter Kate Voegele gets to don a fabulous wardrobe, play an empowered woman – and lock lips with Dancing with the Stars pro Derek Hough.
The video portrays Voegele, 22, "walking around a room filled with boyfriends who have lied to her and broke her heart," explains Hough, 23, the co-lead vocalist for the Ballas Hough Band. "At the very end she kisses me and then pushes me down, causing a domino effect with all her past boyfriends."
So, how did it go? "The video was so much fun to shoot and Derek was awesome," raves Voegele, who also plays Mia on One Tree Hill. "Great dancer, great musician, great kisser. That guy's got a few things
going for him!"
