Getting candid: Julianne Hough shared that while going into lockdown without her husband: ‘I don’t feel lonely, but I definitely feel alone’
Julianne shared: ‘I think in my 30s, I’ve always been around people, and I’m always trying to create and do a lot of things…but this is new, it’s a little different. I don’t feel lonely, but I definitely feel alone. I think there’s a big difference.’
Said the hoofer: ‘I feel alone…I miss people a lot, I wanna hug them and talk to them, but I’m really enjoying this time where I can really connect to what’s really important in my life and look forward to when we get out of this, who do I want to step into? Who do I want to arrive in this new world as?’
Julianne also dished: ‘With everything going on, obviously my heart is with the frontline workers and the healthcare providers and giving them my absolute love and affection and feeling the weight of what’s happening – but at the same time, I’m feeling very blessed that I’ve had this time to stop and pause.’
Said she: ‘Being on tour for three months and traveling and starting a business…it’s a lot. So to be able to be home and stop and pause and look inward and connect back to myself has been glorious. I’ve been on my own.’

Meanwhile: ‘My husband is in Idaho doing lots of yard work…and so we’re kind of doing our separate things right now. But it’s really been a magical time.’
Earlier this week amid rumors of marriage trouble with Brooks, Julianne wrote on Insta Stories: ‘Never betray yourself to be loyal to others.’
Recently during an Instagram Live session for her dance-influenced Kinrgy workouts she spilled that she was ‘Releasing all this stagnant energy built up from what’s going on personally and in the world.’
Last week Julianne, who has described herself as ‘not straight,’ was glimpsed on a stroll with dashing 38-year-old English actor Ben Barnes who is an old pal of hers.

Meanwhile this week on his How Men Think podcast Brooks gushed that he was having a ‘great’ time in Idaho with his ‘awesome’ husky Koda.
Calling himself an ‘introvert by nature’ he acknowledged: ‘I love having my dog – if it wasn’t for my dog, I’d probably be a little more antsy with the isolation.’
‘They are still together, but just not quarantined in the same place. Their relationship has always been like this, though – they like to do their own thing,’ a People source gossiped about the couple, who married in 2017.
‘Their marriage is not perfect, but they continue to work on it. They speak all the time. Brooks is coming back to L.A. once the stay-home order is lifted.’

Brooks drew notice in January when he said on How Men Think that he was ‘really explore learning about sexuality’ going forward.
However on a later episode of How Men Think he clarified that he was looking into ‘exploring my sexuality, and by that I don’t mean if I’m gay or straight.’
Brooks explained: ‘I mean like in my sexual relationship, what is my sexuality and what am I craving and what are my desires and what are my wife’s, and like, how can we have this language to feed each other in – and get everything we want and be sexually expressed to the nth degree and everything?’
He also said: ‘When I think of being married and being in my relationship, truthfully at my core, I don’t see any other life for me. Like that’s the life that I choose.’
