Julianne Hough has revealed that she husband Brooks Laich have ‘never tried’ to have a baby – but explains that she did make the decision to freeze her eggs as a ‘precautionary measure.’
The 31-year-old Dancing With The Stars vet- who is currently self-isolating away from her husband in LA while he remains in Idaho – spoke about the issue Women’s Health appearing on their June cover.
Hough revealed the decision was a result of her endometriosis diagnosis, as it means she may need to try IVF treatment to get pregnant.
Revealing: Julianne Hough has said that she husband Brooks Laich have ‘never tried’ to have a baby – but did make the decision to freeze her eggs as a ‘precautionary measure.’
On the possibility of motherhood Hough said: “I think the healthier I am from the inside out – as far as my beliefs, my energy, what I’m putting into my body – the better prepared I’ll be when the time comes.”
She added about her and husband Laich’s decision: “We never actually tried to get pregnant. It was more of a precautionary measure: Let’s do our due diligence for the future by freezing eggs.”
However, Hough adds that she is no apparent rush to become a mother.

“I believe in soul love, whatever that looks like. I kind of don’t believe in labels. It doesn’t mean that I won’t have a baby, etc,” she says. “It just means that I’ve unplugged from what I feel like I should be doing versus what I actually want to be doing.”
She also told the publication that her endometriosis is getting better because she is taking such good care of herself.
Endometriosis is an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus — the endometrium — grows outside your uterus.
The disorder most commonly involves your ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining your pelvis, according to the Mayo Clinic.
‘I will tell you, through this transformation of really connecting back to my truth, I haven’t had symptoms of endometriosis because of the love and kindness I’m giving to my body,’ Hough said.
‘I believe there’s stress, shame, guilt, and suppression of female energy that’s associated with endometriosis, so de-layering that has really helped.’
‘It can definitely cut things short,’ she said in January 2019 to Women’s Health. ‘Sometimes we’re in the middle and I’m just like “AH, stop!” It can be really frustrating.’
She was diagnosed at age 20.
‘I thought it was just what it feels like to be a girl with bad periods,’ she said. ‘I didn’t think to go to the gynecologist. Because I’m a competitor, I felt like I had to push through the pain and just work.’
Baby in the future? Hough also said she has frozen her eggs in case she had to undergo in vitro fertilization. ‘I think the healthier I am from the inside out — as far as my beliefs, my energy, what I’m putting into my body — the better prepared I’ll be when the time comes,’ she said
Now she is used to the idea of living with the condition.
‘It was an emotional trauma,’ she said. ‘At the time, I felt very lonely and like nobody understood me. I had no idea that [so many women] had endometriosis.
‘The more educated you become, the more powerful you’re going to feel,’ she added. ‘You have two choices: You can hate it, or it can just become part of you. It doesn’t need to define you, it’s just an aspect of who you are.’
SOLO: Meanwhile, she has been self-isolating alone, away from her husband, and has been documenting what she does on social media
Meanwhile, she has been self-isolating alone, away from her husband Brooks, and has been documenting what she does on social media.
Her KINRGY class includes tai chi, qigong, energy work, strength training, and cardio.
‘I believe we’re all dancers,’ she said. ‘We were much more self-expressed when we were kids. I’m trying to help people reconnect back to that inner child.’
No guilt: ‘I believe there’s stress, shame, guilt, and suppression of female energy that’s associated with endometriosis, so de-layering that has really helped.’
Back to her truth: ‘I will tell you, through this transformation of really connecting back to my truth, I haven’t had symptoms of endometriosis because of the love and kindness I’m giving to my body,’ Hough said
Careful: The wife of Brooks Laich also told the publication that her endometriosis is getting better because she is taking such good care of herself.
In great shape: Julianne Hough has never looked better thanks to steady workouts and an eye on her diet. And the 31-year-old Dancing With The Stars vet proved that again as she posed in a bikini for the June cover of Women’s Health magazine
‘It’s a blessing to be able to offer [via Internet] what people need most in this world right now,’ she said of her online workout class.
‘Which is to feel certainty that they’re going to be okay, and that they have the power to release all that stress and anxiety and fear.’
And she feels energy all around her.
‘Everything is made up of energy. If you think about the universe, only 4.6 percent of it is matter. So really, we’re all just made up of energy, and if we’re not focusing on our energetic health, we’re missing most of what this universe is,’ she said.
