As a die-hard fan, I’ve always been in the know that Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest were an item from 2010 to 2013, but their split was something we never quite understood. Being huge fans of both, we’ve always wondered what led to their separation. But now, Hough has finally spilled the beans about one major factor that played a role in their breakup.

Here, we discuss what happened between Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest and why they parted ways.

Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest split explained

Julianne Hough disclosed that her separation from Ryan Seacrest was due to her desire to establish a separate career path.

Apart from that, Hough opted against leveraging her connection with Ryan Seacrest to further her own reputation, since she had already garnered fame as a host of American Idol. In a recent chat with Dax Shepard on his Armchair Expatriate podcast, the actress reminisced about their past relationship.

In this context, the Dancing with the Stars performer shared an interesting detail about her past – she confessed that many people close to her were puzzled by her choice to end things with Seacrest. She explained, “When I chose to part ways, there were quite a few Brentwood moms and industry figures who reacted with surprise, saying things like, ‘What are you doing?’ To which I responded, ‘Why not?’ They seemed to imply that my life was already perfectly arranged.”

Furthermore, Julianne Hough disclosed that Ryan Seacrest’s past relationships often involved partners who were attracted to him because of his fame. This dynamic led Hough to feel the need to “make up for” this lack of authenticity in their relationship. She admitted that she aimed to fulfill her partner’s expectations, doing so to maintain their happiness during her relationship with Seacrest.

In spite of their split, the pair have successfully preserved a solid friendship throughout the years and remain close today. This aspect of their relationship was discussed during Julianne Hough’s interview with her brother Derek Hough on the On Air with Ryan Seacrest podcast. Ryan Seacrest shared his bewilderment over the idea that exes could maintain friendships following a breakup, but he emphasized that there was nothing odd or awkward about their continued camaraderie.
