Julianne Hough's boyfriend is anything but unhappy of his girlfriend's new endeavor. The Canadian ice hockey player is said to be very pleased with what's to come in Hough's career.
According to several sources, Julianne Hough's boyfriend, Brooks Laich is quite supportive of the dancer-actress' decision to accept ABC's offer of becoming part of the judging panel for "Dancing With The Stars" Season 19.
"Brooks is happy that Julianne is grabbing the promising opportunity," an insider close to the two said recently.
This week, news broke that Julianne Hough is officially joining the judging panel, which through the years since the reality dancing show started was composed of Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba, according to Washington Post.
It can be noted that after last season, Goodman has decided to bid goodbye to the show in time with Maks Chemrkovskiy's first mirrorball trophy win.
However, Julianne's judge status on the show is not free from controversy since along with the her new responsibility is the fact that she will be judging her brother, Derek Hough, the five-time champ of the show who is still returning in an attempt for his sixth mirrorball trophy.
While her career is obviously on the move, Julianne Hough and her boyfriend's relationship are also going smoothly for the two.
In fact, Julianne Hough's boyfriend and the 26-year-old country music singer are so in love to each other, they almost always forget that they are in a public place whenever they show their affection towards each other.
Since May this year, Laich and Hough were spotted enjoying some sweet and intimate moments on the streets of Santa Monica, California, according to Just Jared.
When Hough debuted her trimmed locks on May 23, she was accompanied by her boyfriend at the 901 Salon.
A day after, Julianne Hough's boyfriend and the DWTS dancing pro turned judge were seen walking their dogs to enjoy the summer weather.
With their consistent public appearance together, the blonde beauty and the Canadian hunky athlete have debunked rumors that they are separating. After all, it's pretty clear that the two are going strong since they met in December through a mutual friend.
In an interview with 106.7 The Fan in February, Julianne Hough's boyfriend even admitted that he never knew that his girlfriend was a famous DWTS pro dancer when they first met, reported E! News.
"To be honest, I had never seen an episode of Dancing With the Stars, but in my defense, she had never seen a Caps game either until she met Teddy," he said at the time.
"I don't want to get into a whole lot of it; I'm kind of shy on my personal life," Julianne Hough's boyfriend resumed. "But she's a cool, cool gal. She's just a sweetheart, very loving, very giving. She puts so much great out into the world. I'm a pretty lucky guy."
And, of course, the feeling is mutual for the two. When asked what her boyfriend is like, Julianne is all praises and even noted "He's a wonderful guy."
