This photo opportunity provided Laich with time to focus on something other than why his relationship has been making headlines. Sources have provided details to the reported marital problems, telling E! News that the couple is spending time apart for various reasons. Although Laich and Hough don’t have plans to open up about the situation publicly.
“They have been spending time apart but are not ready to share what’s going on between them,” one source said. “They don’t even really know what to call it. There’s a ton of love and emotion there and they are going through something very personal.
“She’s [Hough] been very private about this time in her life and is not making any kind of official announcement,” the source continued. “She is honoring her work commitments, as is he, and it’s kept them apart. But things have definitely changed in their relationship.”
Alleged relationship issues aside, Laich has been spending time with his favorite dog. He has also been working on training his fans via social media. Laich has partnered with three-time Crossfit Games athlete Matt Hewett to provide training routines for those interested in getting fit.
These workouts, which are dispersed through Open Gym, give users a variety of options to train, whether they are in a traditional facility, a garage, or out on the go. Laich can be seen demolishing these workouts on Instagram in a variety of videos and photos. He even uses his beloved dog to help advertise the fitness program, as evidenced by one post from Dec. 23.
Interestingly enough, Hough also makes appearances in some of the Open Gym posts as she conducts workouts with Laich. They are seen together doing burpees or lifting weights, looking very happy in the process.
