There’s breaking news about Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich—and it’s far from a 10.
On Friday, the previous Dancing With the Stars judge and her hockey professional hubby of almost 3 years collectively revealed they have actually chosen to separate.
“We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate,” they verified in a joint declaration to People, which broke the news. “We share an abundance of love and respect for one another and will continue to lead with our hearts from that place. We kindly request your compassion and respect for our privacy moving forward.”
Their statement comes simply months after it was exposed there was some range in between the well-known couple. “They have been spending time apart, but are not ready to share what’s going on between them,” a source informed E! News at the time. “They don’t even really know what to call it. There’s a ton of love and emotion there and they are going through something very personal.”
Then, as the coronavirus pandemic increase, they decided to social range individually in various states, even more stimulating speculation over an upcoming split.
“[Brooks] likes to be outdoors and in nature doing his thing which is great with both of them,” a source stated in late April while Laich remained in Idaho and Hough in Los Angeles. “She wants him to be happy and he wants her to be happy. If this is what it looks like, so be it.”
Following their main statement, the last chapter in their story as couple is ending—a romance that started years back in 2014, included a fairy tale wedding event in 2017 and is now ending with, as they stated, “love and respect.”
