Julianne Hough celebrated her birthday with Brooks Laich. Nina Dobrev / Instagram Hough and Laich have yet to comment on the nature of their get-together, but at the time of their split announcement in May, they released a joint statement, which read: “We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate.“We share an abundance of love and respect for one another and will continue to lead with our hearts from that place.
