End of the line: Brooks is moving on after his ex Julianne Hough, 33, filed for divorce in November 2020. They originally separated in May 2020 but reconciled briefly in September; seen in 2019 in LA
Brooks' newest relationship is heating up in the wake of his failed marriage to actress and dancer Julianne Hough, 33.
The two began dating in early 2014 and got engaged in August of 2015, before tying the knot on July 8, 2017.
In 2019, Julianne came out as bisexual, and Brooks later said that he hadn't 'fully expressed' his sexuality in January 2020.
However, he later clarified that he was talking about exploring sexual practices that he found enjoyable and fulfilling, rather than questioning his sexual orientation.
Despite the newfound openness, the two seemed to be having marital troubles throughout the early pandemic months, when they quarantined separately, with Julianne staying in LA while Brooks was in Idaho.
In May of 2020 they announced their separation. 'We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate,' they said in a joint statement. '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.'
The two reportedly remained on friendly terms, and Brooks attended his wife's birthday over the summer while her brother Derek attended his birthday celebrations.
They officially reconciled by September and took a vacation together to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in hopes of resuscitating their marriage. Ho
