Julianne Hough says she and her first husband Brooks Laich are 'sorry' their marriage 'didn't work out'

He announced their separation two years ago and filed for divorce from his wife in November 2020.

At that time, he told that I think our relationship and our marriage was perfect and it is the right end.

Now we just could not know each other and further Hough said that we just went into our own protective mode.

Hough and Laich started dating in November 2013 and announced their engagement on Instagram in August 2015 and dated for the first 2 years.

When I introduced Brooks to the lake, he fell in love with this special place.

After the two were separated due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and amid growing speculation about the breakdown of their marriage, Hough and Laich announced their decision to separate in a statement shared with PEOPLE in May 2020.

Now the actress revealed that she is enjoying life as a single woman but is "ready for whatever comes."
