What Broke Up Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough?
by Shannon Keirnan
Busy schedules, say sources close to the pair.
Late last night came the announcement that “American Idol” host and all-around good guy Ryan Seacrest had parted ways with his beautiful “Safe Haven” girlfriend of two years, Julianna Hough.
“Dude works all the time,” said a source. “He never sleeps… It was a lifestyle she couldn’t handle anymore. Work always, always came first [for Seacrest]. She wants a more low-key life.”
Some may have seen the split coming. Recently Hough told PARADE, “It’s a hard thing to do (relationships), especially when you’re so caught up in your work and bettering yourself. I think at the end of the day you have to find a balance with what’s really important.”
She also said that while shooting “Safe Haven” in North Carolina, “We were working really hard, so we were really focused, but he came by a few times.”
Sounds a little lackluster for a couple who had cornered the market on adorable -- especially when Seacrest told Chelsea Handler,“She’s so beautiful…stunning. She is phenomenal. She’s the best part of every day.”
On the day of the break-up, Hough took to her Twitter with a cryptic Ed Sheeran quote.
“I can’t tell you the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone,” along with a photo captioned “It only gets better,” though both have since been removed.
With the success of “Safe Haven,” no doubt things will get better for the dancer-cum-actress… and as for Seacrest, well… no one has to worry he won’t be able to distract himself with work.
Were you sad to hear of the split?
