During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Julianne - who is currently single, after finalising her divorce from Brooks Laich in 2022 - shared: "My ovaries are screaming.
"I'm ready to be a mom, and so to be at this stage of my life while he's having a baby, I'm just seeing it through different eyes."
Julianne predicted that Derek and Hayley's child will be "the most creative, talented genius on the planet". And the dancer can't wait to support her brother on his parenting journey.
She said: "Aunt Juju is gonna be there, just supporting it."
Meanwhile, Julianne recently claimed that her dancing career has taught her some important "life lessons".
The TV star - who joined Dancing with the Stars back in 2007 - believes her career has taught her the value of "resilience and tenacity".
Speaking to Us Weekly, Julianne explained: "There were definite life lessons along the way.
"[Learning] dance and technique and professionally are important, but [also we learned] the life lessons of resilience and tenacity and how to show up and add value, how to be connected to your uniqueness. All of those things shaped us, from our guides and our mentors."
Derek also believes that his own dance career has helped to shape his character.
The TV personality - who has been married to Hayley since 2023 - said: "My coaches, my mentors [and] a lot of the lessons that I've learned [from the dance studio made me] who I am today as a man, and as a person.
"[It was] from my teachers, you know, the way they taught me [and] the way they [acted] toward me."
