Julianne Hough recently shared insights into her past relationship with Ryan Seacrest, shedding light on the reasons behind their breakup. The former couple dated from 2010 to 2013, a period during which Hough was on the cusp of stardom while Seacrest was already a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
Hough expressed her concerns about being perceived as using Seacrest's fame for her own benefit, as she navigated newfound experiences and insecurities. She revealed a tendency to mold herself to meet others' expectations, driven by a desire to feel loved and accepted.
Despite her genuine care for those she dated, Hough admitted to questioning the depth of her romantic feelings, realizing that she may have been more enamored with the idea of being loved than truly in love.
Their relationship came to an end in 2013, with Hough recalling the pressure she faced from peers to maintain the status quo, despite feeling disconnected from the life she had built with Seacrest.
Following their split, Hough went on to marry Brooks Laich in 2017, a union that ended in divorce in 2020. Seacrest, on the other hand, has been romantically linked to several women post his breakup with Hough over a decade ago.
Seacrest's dating history includes relationships with model Aubrey Paige, model Shayna Taylor, model Renée Hall, and Hilary Cruz, each marking a chapter in his personal life post his time with Hough.
