Back in May 2020, Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich shocked pop culture enthusiasts when they announced their divorce after nearly three years of marriage. “We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate,” they revealed to People in a joint statement at the time. “We share an abundance of love and respect for one another and will continue to lead with our hearts from their place.” Before their separation, the couple had made headlines for reportedly having “problems” in their relationship and quarantining separately during the height of the pandemic.

However, unlike many Hollywood divorces, their split was relatively easy due to their pre-marital legal planning. According to People, the two had a prenuptial agreement — which was signed 11 days before tying the knot in July 2017. Due to the aforementioned document in place, the division of assets was relatively easy, with Hough and Laich keeping the respective properties and the former denying spousal support. Nearly two years after their announcement, Hough and Laich finalized their divorce proceedings in 2022. “The parties have entered into a written agreement regarding their property and their marriage or domestic partnership rights, including support, the original of which is being or has been submitted to the court,” their court documents revealed, as reported by ET.
