In addition to the romantic "how they met" story, Hough and Laich have consistently expressed the open communication they have in their relationship. In 2019, Hough appeared on her husband's podcast How Men Think and revealed that the couple were seeing an online sex therapist to help them understand their "erotic blueprint." That same year, Hough opened up to Women's Health about being "not straight", and Laich's unwavering support of her sexual exploration.
It seemed like the perfect relationship, but in early 2019, Hough was spotted without her wedding ring on and People reported that the pair had hit a bump in the road. "They've been having problems for months," one source told the outlet. "She's very independent and a free spirit, and that's been tough for Brooks and their marriage."
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020, Hough and Laich decided to quarantine separately, and in May, announced their decision to separate in a joint statement. It seemed like the end, but in September, Hough hinted that the couple are trying to make amends by sharing a photo of herself with Laich's dog. It was also reported that the pair vacationed together in Idaho, where they got married. It's unclear what the future holds for Hough and Laich, but at the very least, the couple seems to maintain love and respect for each other, even during the rough patches.
