Julianne Hough refers to feeling “lost” after a “high-profile” relationship

In a recent conversation with influencer Valeria Lipovetsky on Instagram Live, Julianne Hough talked about how living the high life with an ex, speculated to be Ryan Seacrest, shaped what she desired out of life and a career. She said that it was 2013 and she had just gotten out of a relationship that was “very high profile” for her. The artist mentioned that during her relation, she was on private planes and yachts and living in a very well-off house and her life was pretty different from where she grew up.

Hough shared that she did not feel like she had earned the luxuries she was enjoying. She stated that she had just gotten out of that relationship because she wanted to create that for herself because she kind of felt like she did not deserve it.

The Footloose star disclosed to Valeria Lipovetsky that following her breakup she initially struggled with not having many friends of her own age, as her ex was 15 years senior. Julianne Hough asserted that she eventually “met some girlfriends” and went to Coachella with them. She said that she did some certain things that she is “not proud of,” but she was like, ‘Get it girl!’ at that moment.

Hough explained how the experience ultimately taught her to find balance. She admitted that during that year, it was kind of her wild year of abandon and freedom and she realized that the pendulum swing went from one side to the extreme. The Rock of Ages star mentioned that she thought there is got to be something in the middle where she can find fulfilment without having to be so dynamic and extreme. This closed the chapter of Ryan Seacrest in her life.
