Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough ‘not returning’ to America’s Got Talent… but the men will be back

Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough will reportedly not be returning to judge the 15th season of America’s Got Talent.

The 47-year-old brunette (who replaced Melanie Brown) and the 31-year-old blonde (who replaced Heidi Klum) are vacating their seats, an NBC spokesperson confirmed to Variety.

By contrast, all three men on the NBC competition – judges Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel as well as host Terry Crews – are all expected to come back next year.
