Julianne Hough is reflecting on the end of her relationship with Ryan Seacrest.
They dated from 2010 to 2013.
On Monday’s episode of the Armchair Expert podcast, host Dax Shepard said: , “I would imagine it would be so exciting and so privileged and so romantic and then also I would feel like I was losing myself to all of that”
Julianne responded, “That was exactly the dynamic. The rug was swept up from underneath me, and I was just flying and I was experiencing things that I didn’t even know existed.”
She continued, “I had this insecurity that I was like, ‘I don’t ever want anybody to think that I’m with him for this reason.’ And so I then started playing smaller. I know that that was his experience in past situations and stuff, and so I again overcompensated, [I] was malleable to fit into exactly what somebody needed me to be for them to be happy.”
Julianne revealed that Ryan Seacrest had experiences with people “using him,” and she wanted to make it clear that she wasn’t doing the same.
“I overcompensated, was malleable to fit into exactly what somebody needed me to be for them to be happy,” she explained. “And what I've realized over the years is I don't know if I've ever truly been in love with someone, but I have loved the feeling of being loved. And so let me be what that needs to be so that I can be loved.”
Knowing it was important to her to make a name for herself, she revealed not everyone agreed with her decision.
“I remember when I decided to break things off, I had a lot of these Brentwood moms and producers in that world that were like, ‘What are you doing?’” she recalled. “And I was like, ‘What do you mean?’ They're like, ‘Your life is completely set up.’ And I was, like, ‘But I didn't build it.’”
