Julianne Hough opens up about loss that changed ‘everything’
Julianne Hough tugged at some heartstrings looking back at the ‘darkest time’ in her life after divorce and losing her pet dogs.
The Footloose star opened up about the highs in her life that later led her to lower phase, sharing how it shifted her mindset towards life, friendship and work
Recalling her first job after “hustling in” Los Angeles, she told influencer Dhar Mann, who shares real life stories of people, she worked as a dancer on season 4 of Dancing with the Stars in 2007.
“I ended up doing the show and won my first two seasons back-to-back,” Hough began.“It was like a ripple effect. The stars were aligned.”
She went on to say, “I ended up getting a country music record deal and had a No. 1 album and best new female vocalist, best new artist.
“And then I started doing movies with Tom Cruise and had this amazing, like, momentum,” Hough noted.
But after “everything was going, going, going,” suddenly “everything fell apart,” in Hough’s life.
First her “dogs were killed by coyotes,” in 2019 and then her marriage with former professional hockey player Brooks Laichwith “started unraveling.”
For the unversed she and tied the knot in 2017, they parted ways in May 2020 and finalized their divorce 2022.
And then Hough shared, “My career, my friend group, everything that I had known really started taking a different shape. That was very much, like, probably the darkest time.”
The 37-year-old dancer and actress that started to gain control of life, learned the art of moving on but it was not easy on her.
“It was a process and it was timing,” she explained. “You can’t rush healing. You can’t rush the time frame that you need to go through to learn a lesson.”
“But I will say that I poured my energy into self-care. I poured my energy into things that brought me joy, which are friendships, and really invested into others. I think that the minute you feel isolated or lonely, the minute you can think about serving someone else, it brings you so much joy and momentum, and it literally changes the frequency and vibration in your whole body. But it’s a journey and it’s a process and it doesn’t happen overnight,” she added.

King Charles orders new safety measures after shocking incident
The royal family’s famouse show faces serious calls to conduct a review of its safety protocols after a heartbreaking loss.
The British monarch, 77, has reportedly taken an action to ensure safety meassure after a young soldier’s detah during a King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery performance earlier this month.
Lance Bombardier Ciara Sullivan, 24, lost his life after falling from her horse on May 15.
Heartbroken Britons urged officials to take notice of their concerns. They questioned whether traditional ceremonial practices, including the use of historic headwear rather than modern protective helmets, should continue in public displays.
She had been wearing the regiment’s ceremonial busby hat as part of the King’s Troop full dress uniform.
The insider claimed: “The organisers need to adopt smart strategy to save lives.
“We may face the same situation in the future if the measures are nt taken.”
The First World War-era QF 13-pounder field artillery, constructed from steel and wood with large spoked wheels, is pulled at speed by six horses arranged in three rows.
During performances, riders guide the heavy weaponry through complex arena manoeuvres and sharp turns.
“These carriages were invented centuries ago, before modern safety measures. They are not fit for purpose and nor are the hats. There should be a serious review of horse displays like this,” one source told the Mail.
Another said: “The continued use of traditional headwear that offers only limited protection has to be reviewed in an activity where serious head injuries are an ever-present risk.”
It announced the following morning: “The Royal Windsor Horse Show is continuing as planned, with the omission of The King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery display.”
After the shocking incident, Chief Superintendent Michael Loebenberg said: “We are appealing for anyone with information or material relating to the sad death of a military rider at Royal Windsor Horse Show yesterday to please get in touch.”
“At this stage, we have not found any suspicious circumstances. We are working with the Ministry of Defence, the Defence Accident Investigation Branch and Royal Windsor Horse Show organisers HPower to gather as much information as possible to understand how this happened.”
Buckingham Palace released a statment, saying that the King was “greatly shocked and saddened” by the tragedy.
The monarch also conveyed his condolences privately to her family.

Meghan Markle makes statement as William scones remark takes unexpected turn
Meghan Markle took a coy approach as she appeared to have doubled down on her stance after a new debate was triggered involving Prince William.
It was believed that the Duchess of Sussex had made a direct attempt to get the future King’s attention with a bold move, knowing fully-well how critical the dynamics are between Prince Harry and William.
The discussion, on the surface, seems to be merely about scones, but experts believes there is something more to it. Eagle-eyed royal watchers noted that only hours after William shared his preferred method to eat the famous British tea-time snack, Meghan’s As Ever had shared a post about scones.
As the debate made headlines over the weekend, Meghan seemed to have reacted to the whole thing with a statement, somewhat confirming suspicions.
“Inspired by the jams Meghan has created in her own kitchen and shared over the years, each spread reflects a small-batch, carefully balanced approach to flavour,” a message read on As Ever alongside a video of the founder.
“Bright and fruit-forward with just a hint of tartness and a whisper of lemon, these spreads are crafted to highlight each fruit’s natural essence without overpowering it.”
In the brief video clip, Meghan shared her family’s preferred jams – Harry likes raspberry, Lilibet likes strawberry and Archie likes both.
The relations between the Sussexes and the Waleses are still at an impasse even though King Charles has begun warming up to his younger son.
Meghan’s move has earned mixed reactions, where some believe this is her usual tactic to steal the spotlight from the royals, other suggest this could be an icebreaker to get a conversation moving between them.
