The Bliss Is Over

SOLVED!

[Blind Gossip] After this entertainer got married, her social media was filled with pics of her enjoying a blissful life with her hunky husband.

That bliss seems to be over!

She is a triple threat. She works steadily, and has been moving from TV gig to TV gig over the past few years. She recently left a show under controversial circumstances.

Her husband is an athlete. Not a big name, but he has played professional sports for more than a decade for several different teams.

Their marriage experienced four stressful events over the past year, the last three in quick succession.

He lost his job last year. Since then, he has been trying to pick up promotional work related to health and fitness, but the loss of his income must have been stressful.

The second event was a tragedy that occurred in their family. An announcement was made but neither of them actually explained what happened. Could one of them be blaming the other?

The third was a very personal announcement that she made. The interesting thing about that is that it came out of the blue and there was no public reaction from her husband. Could he have been blindsided by her announcement?

The fourth was her sudden departure from her TV show. She is keeping her head down on that one and simply moving on to the next project, but the unexpected dismissal had to have hurt.

There was too much stress over a short period of time. It broke them.

When marriage troubles hit, some couples are able to keep up public appearances as normal. These two are not on the same page about that.

They still follow each other on social media. However, there has been a significant shift in their posting behavior.

She suddenly stopped posting any pics of him. That is highly suspicious, given that her account has historically featured lots of photos of them together as a loving couple in all their photogenic glory.

She has also stopped wearing her wedding ring.

What about his social media account?

Well, his last photo of her was several weeks ago. It might have been an old photo. It’s hard to tell.

He is still wearing his wedding ring.

They separated several months ago but have been holding off on the separation announcement.

It should happen soon.

[Optional] Do you think they will reconcile or divorce?

Couple: Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich

Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich are dunzo!

Your friends at Blind Gossip told you in December that Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich had actually separated several months earlier and that we were expecting a formal announcement in the near future.

It dragged out for for six months, but here it is!

From People:

Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich Separate After Almost 3 Years of Marriage

“We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate,” they say in their joint statement.

“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.”

“It’s over, it’s been over for a while, and it’s time to just call it what it is — and it is over,” says one source with knowledge of the situation.

Blind Gossip told you that it was over last year… and this statement confirms that “it’s been over for a while.” Now you know that they were lying to you every time they said that they were still happily married this year!

“There is honestly no ill will. He loves her. She loves him. I can truly say they always will. But they both understand they are not meant to go through their lives as husband and wife to each other.”

According to the source, Hough, who revealed last year that she is “not straight,” is a “deeply different person than she was when they got married.”

Yes. She is a different person. More awful and manipulative than ever.

She is not some 18-year-old still trying to figure out who she is. She is 31 and he is 36.

What kind of person tells their spouse five minutes after they gets married that they are not straight?

“She is proud of those differences and changes she’s made and she doesn’t want to go back,” the source says. “He is the man he is and he shouldn’t change a thing. But they shouldn’t spend the rest of their lives together — not as spouses, anyway.”

A Laich insider confirms the two are “separated and not together.”

“They haven’t seen each other for almost two months,” the insider says. “It’s been a sad situation, but they have both realized that their priorities are too different for their marriage to work out.”

According to the insider, Laich, who has been spending time at their property in Idaho since April, is “very happy to be living away from L.A.,” while Hough wants to live in the city.

“They are two people that still love each other, but have decided that it’s time to move on separately,” the insider says. “The split is friendly. They hope they can stay friends.”

Of course.

Congratulations to LizardQueen for being first with the correct response!

Did you notice that the picture with the original blind item was one of a couple dancing? Julianne Hough was a cast member on Dancing With The Stars.

By the way, the TV show from which she was fired is American’s Got Talent. She was fired at the same time as Gabrielle Union.

    When they say “for better or for worse” what do they think WORSE might entail? Your partner springing their past relationship history on you AFTER you’re hitched is pretty underhanded and may well fall into the ‘worse’ category. Vows mean nothing these days.

  2. PomegranatePam says

    She’s grating. Seems like every week I see a new article where she’s explaining some emotion she had. “How I felt when I came forward about how I feel.”

  3. butwhatever says

    All else (such as thirst for fame) aside, if Julianne was raised Mormon, I’m gonna give her somewhat of a pass on taking so long figuring out her sexuality. The Mormons consider homosexuality to be like alcoholism, something that you are supposed to struggle against, and I can easily imagine it would be hard for her to put that notion behind her, and admit what she truly is, until she got married and it was inescapable.

  7. bluestocking says

    Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich. Their dogs both died on the same day (no explanation given), she came out as queer, he got booted from his team, she didn’t get renewed for AGT …
    I think they’re a cute couple but she sure is thirsty and seems to want to be in the news cycle an awful lot for a reality TV personality. I don’t think they’ll get back together

    Couple: Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich

    [Optional] Do you think they will reconcile or divorce? Probably divorce – too much to recover from, I think.

    Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich

    If he is smart he will leave her ass because she is desperate for the attention. I put her up there with Olivia Culpo in the annoying as * department.

  14. charlene2345 says

    Julianne Hough and her husband Brooks Laich (I think that’s his name).

    No recent pictures of him on her social media (mostly pictures of her with her brother Derek and singer Jordan Fisher), she left AGT, he last played hockey in 2018, she said she “wasn’t straight” in a magazine article but he said nothing, and two of their pets died suddenly in October 2019 but they didn’t explain what happened.

  15. aaaDacia says

    Julianne Hough and Brooks laich. He was a nhl player. Was let go from talent show. Both her dogs just died on the same day, different ages. Not said how they died. I always thought they were kinda miscast together but wth do I know lol

  20. trivialtime says

    Dwayne Wade Gabrielle Union
    Hopefully the stressors don’t win and they can work through this.

  22. carriebradshaw says

    Julianne Hough, Brooks Laich

    Optional:they shoud try to fix it. There is still hope, except one of them did something to the dogs on purpose, then the other should run and don’t look back.

  27. aaajrm68 says

    Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade, I guess the announcements were about their miscarriages and his gay son, but I don’t know much about either so, I might be way wrong.

  28. AmateurGossipHour says

    Julianne Hough & Brooks Laugh

    First event: Released by the Kings
    Second event: Dogs passing
    Third event: Coming out as “not straight”
    Forth event: Dismissed from AGT

    Don’t know enough about them to make a comment.

    • Max Power says

      Gosh dang it. Wrong triple threat host with sporty hubby. Changing to Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich- he is currently a “free agent” and she recently announced she is “not straight”.

  34. kristy.mariko says

    Julianne Hough and her hubby. So sad, I hope they can work through it, but that is a lot to get over. Especially if the passing of their two dogs was one of their faults.

  39. celebiddy says

    Julianne hough and brooks laich

    I was suuuuper curious what happened to them so thanks for this blind. That’s really sad 🙁 some accidentally definitely happened to their dogs because they apparently BOTH died at the same time. She also should not have pulled a miley by telling the world she’s actually ~NoT sTrAigHt~

  46. kathk567 says

    Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich. I think divorce is in the cards….her revelation that she is bi came from somewhere. Maybe feelings for a GF got too big? Maybe Brooks wasn’t into sharing? Or threesomes? Either way…..I feel bad for Brooks

  48. Spreechee says

    This is definitely Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich, which makes me sad…. They’ve definitely had more than their fair share of stressors, and have worked on their marriage.

    They lost 2 of their dogs at the end of September, and have never mentioned how they passed. Julianne had built her whole world around those two dogs before she met Brooks, and he, fortunately, felt the same about them. Losing one was bound to be incredibly traumatic for her, but losing both… I can’t imagine.

    Couple: Gab Union and Dwayne Wade
    Op: I’ve always been impressed by their bounce back and how they appear to be raising their family….

  55. wfreshie says

    is this julianne hough……BG posted before she keeps her head down and goes gig to gig….hubby is in sprts hockey player but he was let go

    didn’t her dog or dogs she had to put them DOWN earlier this year

    and she has bad fibroids and can’t seem to get pregnant

  57. aaaMisty says

    Couple: Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich

    [Optional] Do you think they will reconcile or divorce?: She’ll definitely divorce him

  58. StarryNight says

    Juliane Hough and Brook Laich.

    He was not signed to a team effectively retiring from hockey, their two dogs Lexi and Harley passed away, She announced she was bisexual and then she got fired from AGT.

    I think they’ll reconcile but make a big show about it to boost their socials

  60. theotherwoman says

    Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich. I feel bad for him. I dont think he knew what he was getting into.

  61. shellie says

    Couple: Julianne Hough & Brooks Laich

    [Optional] Do you think they will reconcile or divorce? More than likely divorce since so many found it weird they were together to begin with.

  62. TeacherKat says

    Julianne Hough and Brooks something

    Optional: probably not. Heres hoping 2020 is a better year for Julianne!

    • firefly nights says

      That was very kind. I hope she has a better year in 2020 as well. 2019 has been rough on a lot of people. Here’s to a better 2020 for everyone!

    Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich
    .
    I hope they can do whatever will make them both happy. It’s sad seeing marriages that weren’t business arrangements dissolve.

    • itstarapagain says

      You made me nearly spew my drink. Hilarious. So many arrangements it’s tough sometimes to know what’s real. (although others are transparent – Bey I’m looking at you dear)

    • xoxogossipgirl17 says

      meant to add — he retired from hockey, they lost their dog(s), she released a new song called “transform” and the other was her america’s got talent AGT departure?

  67. elphie says

    Julianne Hough and her husband the hockey guy… he’s a free agent this year.
    I thought her comment … I’m not straight… was very odd.
    Apparently has been going thru IVF… that puts a strain on everyone

  68. BeaNandSprouT says

    Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich. She came out as “not straight” and for someone that loves sharing TMI on social media, she hasn’t said jack about how their two dogs died.

    They’re done for.

  69. radmom says

    Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich. He’s a free agent- unemployed – hockey player. She just left AGT quietly, unlike Gabrielle Union. She just came out as bisexual, which was a surprise to her husband. I don’t think they’ll survive this, she’s not vested.

  73. hotwingz555 says

    Was thinking Dwayne wade and Gabrielle union but they post lots of family stuff. Has to be Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich.

  74. aaateebz says

    Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich (sp?)

    He is/was a hockey player. She was just fired from AGT, a few months ago announced that she’s “not straight” (personal announcement), and they lost both of their dogs under circumstances that I don’t think were ever explained (the tragedy).

  78. micabay says

    Sounds like Julianne Hough and hubby. I always wondered what happened to her poor dogs that died the same day. I don’t understand why people are so quick to divorce.
    I think they’ll divorce.

  79. gailpow says

    Julianne Hough and her hockey player husband. I guess he just could not handle the fact that she came out as a bisexual.

  81. BooStrawberry says

    Julianne hough and Brooks Laich

    They will divorce. He wants marriage w kids. She wants to become a big superstar/brand and enjoys the publicity, attention and hype.

  86. Ramblingirl says

    Julianne Hough
    Brooks Laich

    I’m surprised they’ve lasted this long. With her coming out with the bisexual bit….that must have thrown him for a loop. I think they will divorce.

    • Honey16 says

      Same thing I was thinking. If he was blindsided, then he should know he can’t satisfy her needs completely.

  88. quokka says

    couple: brooks laich and julianne hough

    optional: aw, i hope so. don’t know much about him but she seems so lovely.

  92. JoshuaTree says

    Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich.

    He lost his NHL job.

    Both her beloved dogs suddenly and mysteriously died.

    She admitted they rarely have sex cause its too painful with her endometriosis.

    She just got let go from AGT

  96. I Am PunkA says

    Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich.

    It’s probably over. She has some issues. Talented girl but really a hot mess of a person.

    • Baileygirl says

      Bingo! And they will divorce. He seemed to be a deer in the headlights when she came out with the “You know I’m gay, right?” announcement out of the blue. I read they were doing IVF. I think some family and or friends got to him and advised him to NOT have a child with this woman. She seems mixed up. That would be enough to stress anyone. I hope he is smart enough to run fast, run far. It would be unfair to bring a child into this strange relationship.

  99. LizardQueen says

    Julianne Hough… and husband?

    Shot in the dark guess. But she has been talking waaaaaaaay tooooooo much about stuff that should stay personal. I’ll wait to see the other guesses.

    • amagod121 says

      Julianne Hough and
      Brooks Laich

      Wow, I don’t know. Sounds like they both need some quiet, reflective down time on their own. Four big, unpleasant changes in a short time span is difficult for anyone to cope with (ask Tarik el Moussad.) I don’t think it’s impossible to get through, though. If they still love and respect the person they married then they might be able to pull it all together. Wishing them the best on this unfortunate situation!
