On May 30, the former couple confirmed they had decided to separate in a statement to People.
“We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate,” read the statement.
The 31-year-old dancer and 36-year-old hockey player announced their split in a joint statement, noting they still love and respect one another. Prior to the announcement, the two made headlines due to their decision to not quarantine together amid the coronavirus pandemic, Hough remained in Los Angeles, while Laich went to Idaho to work on his property there.
