Julianne Hough Reacts to Ex-Husband's Bombshell

Julianne Hough's ex-husband Brooks Laich and his fiancee Katrín Davíðsdóttir shared some big news on May 4.

Dancing With the Stars pro-turned-host Julianne Hough was in a relationship with professional hockey player Brooks Laich for over six years, married for three. But they split in late 2020, with the divorce being finalized in 2022.

Laich began dating CrossFit Games champ Katrín Davíðsdóttir in 2021, with the two announcing their engagement in December 2024. But now the couple has even bigger news — they are going to become parents in fall 2025.

"Our greatest blessing 🤍🫶🏼✨ Baby Laich coming this fall. Mom & Dad can’t wait to meet you, our little one!!!!!!" wrote Davíðsdóttir on Instagram.

In the comments, two of the first people to congratulate the couple are Hough and her sister-in-law, Hayley Ebert, who is married to Hough's brother and fellow Dancing With the Stars pro-turned-judge Derek Hough.

"Congratulations, you two on expanding your family - this baby is already so loved ✨," wrote Julianne, to which Davíðsdóttir replied, "@juleshough awwee thank you Jules!!!! 🥰❤️🫶🏼✨," and Laich added, "@juleshough thanks Jules, cannot wait for this new adventure to begin!!! Much love!"

"No joke, I woke up this morning thinking about how excited I am to meet baby Laich!! Could not be more happy for you both!! 🤍🤍," wrote Ebert, to which Davíðsdóttir replied, "@hayley.erbert love you Hayls🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🫶🏼✨❤️."

Laich and Davíðsdóttir must have stayed tight with the Dancing With the Stars family because the comments also have well-wishes from pros Sasha Farber and Emma Slater, plus season 33 finalist Ilona Maher.

"Ahhh this is so exciting! Congrats!," wrote Maher.

"Congratulations!!!!!! 😍👏👏👏," wrote Slater, to which Laich replied, "@theemmaslater thanks Em!!! We could not be more excited!! Hope you are well, girl!!!"

At the time of Hough and Laich's split, they released a joint statement saying that they still had so much love for each other but that it was time to separate.

"We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate. 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," said the couple in their statement.
