Actress Julianne Hough officially files for divorce from Brooks Laich despite recent reconciliation attempt

Actress and former US Dancing With the Stars pro Julianne Hough is putting an end to her three-year marriage with Brooks Laich.

According to TMZ, the 32-year-old officially filed for divorce from the former NHL player just six months after the pair announced their separation. 

"We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate," read the couple's statement released in May. "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."

But just three months later, they appeared to have reconciled when they were seen having lunch together in LA, after Laich returned from Idaho where he had been quarantining alone. Around the same time, the former ice hockey star also helped Hough celebrate her 32nd birthday, with the couple looking flirty in a series of Instagram Stories.

"Feeling super loved right now," she captioned one image. 

Just last month, they were also seen vacationing in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho — the same place they tied the knot three years ago.

The news would shock many who believed the couple were back on track. But according to People, Hough still had reservations about rekindling their relationship.

"Brooks really still wants to make it work and she's considering it but taking her time. He's open to whatever it will take," a source said. "Julianne likes the idea of freedom but doesn't want to lose such a good, solid guy. Everyone who knows him knows how grounded and great he is. Her friends and family don't want her to lose someone like that."
