Life’s a dance! Between 2014 and 2020, Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich were only interested in each other.
Teddy Sears, a Curve co-star of the former Dancing With the Stars pro, introduced the couple in December 2013, but the actor had been trying to set them up for quite some time.
“On set, apparently, he was talking with Julianne… and asked her if she’d been seeing anyone, and she said no or whatever, and he was watching our hockey game at the time,” Laich told 106.7 FM The Fan in 2014. “He always uses Game Center on his iPad to watch the game.” “I guess he just handed her the iPad and said, ‘Well, I’ve got a guy for you,’ or something along those lines.”
“Until she met Teddy,” Laich laughed, the NHL player had never seen an episode of DWTS and Hough had never seen a Washington Capitals game.
The two hit it off immediately, and Us Weekly confirmed their relationship in February 2014. In August 2015, they got engaged, and in July 2017, they married.
In April of this year, a source exclusively told Us, “Brooks is a huge support system for [Julianne].” “He’s the nicest guy you’ll ever meet, and he’s incredibly patient with her.” When they’re together, he always has a passionate look on his face. He treats her as if she were the only one in the room.”
In January 2020, multiple sources told Us that after two years of marriage, Hough and Laich were having problems. “Everyone is aware that something is wrong,” a source claimed at the time.
After nearly three years of marriage, Hough and Laich divorced in May 2020.
