Derek Hough -- one 'Dancing with the Stars' partner 'drained' him

As one of the most-popular pro dancers on "Dancing with the Stars," there's no question that Derek Hough has seen some major highs and lows during his time on the show -- however, what may surprise you is just how personal some of these relationships are.

As a part of some efforts to promote the ABC show on GSN (which is where it will premiere on January 21 at 6:00 p.m. Eastern time), Hough compared all eight of his former partners to wives that he would divorce after the season -- and he also said that one really caused him great turmoil:

"Surprisingly, one of my most challenging partners was actually ... I can't get personal ... This woman drained me. I cried at home every night." 

It's hard to really even guess here, since Derek has been through a number of emotional experiences on the show.
