Julianne Living through a 'No Limits, No Rules' Mantra
According to a source that spoke to People Magazine, the changes going within the couple's marriage is more about Hough's personal evolution than anything in particular that occurred between them. The source was able to dish on this matter and what truly is going on.
"Julianne wants to become a new age, free-spirit, no boundaries guru, and she is living her life by this sort of 'no limits, no rules' mantra, and that doesn’t vibe with being a wife," they revealed.
These situations are never easy, especially when it wasn't one person's fault for creating a changing view of a marriage, but that's what is occurring with Hough currently, as she's had a total awakening.
"It’s still complicated because she loves Brooks and she always will — she just thinks she is a completely different person than she was when she married him," they continued. "She’s had a total awakening and transformation, and it’s ongoing, and she isn’t able or interested in going back to who she was."
Hough Reaching the Point of No Return
For Hough, she's already past the point of no return in her own personal development and doesn't see a pathway for her to go back. The source directly commented on this saying that the DWTS star has made 'real and deep changes' with 'no interest in going back'.
"Brooks can only change but so much to try to keep her," they said. "She’s spreading her wings now and no one, not Brooks or anyone, can really tie her down at this point." Although it seems that Hough is going in her own, personal direction, she still hopes to have Laich in her life in some regard.
"He’s always been her biggest fan and has been willing to back her up in anything she wanted to do," the source continued.
No Longer Insecure and Confused about the Direction of Her Life
When Laich and Hough first started dating back in 2014, Hough was a different person with insecurities and a lack of direction for where her life was going. Laich's presence was a steadying force for her, but now things have changed, at least now in the person she's become.
An insider revealed that when the couple started dating, it was 'a time when [Hough] really had so much confusion in so many other areas of her life'.
"And suddenly there was this guy willing to be her rock, to be her support no matter what, and that was just what she needed," they continued. "But since then, she’s started to get more clarity on other parts of her life."

"She's been very private about this time in her life and is not making any kind of official announcement," the source added. "She is honoring her work commitments, as is he, and it's kept them apart. But things have definitely changed in their relationship."
