Julianne's take
Julianne Hough’s relationship with Ryan Seacrest, a prominent television host and producer known for his work on 'American Idol' and 'Live with Kelly and Ryan,' was a topic of considerable public interest.
The two began dating in 2010, and their relationship quickly became a subject of media fascination. Seacrest, born on December 24, 1974, in Atlanta, Georgia, has long been a staple in the entertainment industry, with a career spanning radio, television, and production.
"I remember when I decided to break things off," she told Dax Shepard on his podcast 'Armchair Expert' Aug. 12, "I had a lot of these Brentwood moms and producers in that world that were like, 'What are you doing?' And I was like, 'What do you mean?' They're like, 'Your life is completely set up.'"
But as the 36-year-old explained, she didn't feel like she'd built that life. "Of course, I was like, 'I need to create this,'" she continued. "Competitively, it's not mine. I need to feel the pride of doing it.'"
And Julianne was also afraid those looking in on the relationship would think she was using the 'American Idol' host for her own gain.
"I had this insecurity," she said, "that I was like, 'I don't ever want anybody to think that I'm with him for this reason.' And so I then started playing smaller."
Her rise to fame began as a professional dancer, a field in which she achieved significant success before branching out into other areas of entertainment.
Hough first gained national recognition as a contestant on 'Dancing with the Stars,' a reality dance competition where she showcased her extraordinary talent as a professional dancer. Her performances on the show were nothing short of spectacular, earning her two 'Dancing with the Stars' trophies for Best Female Professional Dancer. Her work on the show established her as a prominent figure in the entertainment industry and set the stage for her future ventures.
Following her success in dance, Julianne Hough transitioned into acting and music. In 2008, she made her film debut in 'Burlesque,' where she played 'Georgia,' a supporting role that allowed her to display her versatility as a performer. The film, starring Cher and Christina Aguilera, featured Hough in a glamorous and musical setting that showcased her talents beyond the dance floor.
Hough's musical aspirations also came to fruition with the release of her self-titled debut album in 2008. The album, which included country and pop influences, was well-received and demonstrated her ability to cross genres and appeal to a broad audience. Her subsequent album, 'Paradise,' released in 2014, further solidified her position as a versatile entertainer with a diverse skill set.
Despite their high-profile status and seemingly successful partnership, Hough and Seacrest’s romance eventually came to an end. In a recent interview, Hough revealed that the primary reason for their breakup was their divergent life goals and the differing paths they envisioned for their futures.
