Julianne Hough is dancing with joy for her ex Brooks Laich.
The Dancing With the Stars host had nothing but kind words for the former hockey player—who she was married to from 2017 until 2022—after he got engaged to CrossFit athlete Katrín Tanja Davíðsdóttir on Dec. 16.
“Congratulations,” she wrote in the comments section of the couple’s engagement announcement on Instagram Dec. 27. “I’m so happy for you both as you step into this beautiful new chapter together.”
The 36-year-old added, “Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and endless adventures.”
But this isn’t the first time Julianne crossed paths with her former husband and his new love. After all, she previously ran into the couple—who went public with their romance in 2021—at a wedding.
“It was so beautiful,” Julianne recalled of the encounter during a September episode of The Jamie Kern Lima Show podcast. “I’m in this place where I now feel like I’m just beginning with so much wisdom, with so much insight, with so much empathy and understanding of what’s possible.”
