Years after her breakup from "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest, Julianne Hough opened up about the cause of their split during an interview on "Armchair Expert."
The couple began dating when Hough was just starting her career, while Seacrest had already established himself in the industry. Hough explained it felt like "the rug was swept up from underneath me," and she was suddenly exposed to things she "didn’t even know existed." "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." Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital.
"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."
