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.

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.

‘Teen Mom’ star’s wife taken into police custody for DUI
Amanda Conner, wife of Teen Mom star Ryan Edwards, was arrested on Sunday morning near Chattanooga, Tennessee, and charged with driving under the influence and child abuse and neglect after allegedly getting behind the wheel with the couple’s baby daughter in the car.
According to TMZ, which first reported the arrest, Conner was also charged with driving on the wrong side of the road.
A dispatch call obtained by the outlet indicated that it was her husband who alerted police, having grown concerned that she may have taken narcotics before leaving the house with the baby.
Her bond was set at $16,000, and she had not been released by 4:30 p.m. local time on Sunday. A court hearing has been scheduled for 3 June.
Conner, 35, and Edwards, 37, married in September 2025, just some time after he finalised his divorce from his previous wife, Mackenzie Standifer.
The pair had been friends for years before beginning a relationship in September 2023. Together they share a one-year-old daughter, Presley, who was in the car at the time of the alleged incident.
The arrest arrives against a complicated family backdrop.
Edwards has had a well-documented history of addiction and legal troubles stretching back years, including a 2023 court order requiring him to seek help for substance abuse following a series of arrests involving Standifer.
He is also father to Bentley, 17, with fellow Teen Mom original cast member Maci Bookout, as well as Jagger, 7, and Stella, 6, with Standifer.
Bookout, who married Taylor McKinney in 2016 and shares two children with him, has spoken candidly in the past about the toll Edwards’ struggles have taken.
“Obviously, when things first went down with Ryan and him having to go to jail and making stupid decisions and stuff, I definitely had a breaking point then,” she shared.
She described therapy and self-compassion as the tools that helped her through.
“I think the therapy I had done previously… and just making sure that I check in with myself and that I give myself grace and that I let myself fall apart and then pick myself back up is a game changer.”
