Per TMZ, Hough, 32, filed the divorce papers on Monday in Los Angeles.

"We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate," they said in a joint statement to People at the time. "We share an abundance of love and respect for one another and will continue to lead with our hearts from that place. We kindly request your compassion and respect for our privacy moving forward."

Hough and Laich, 37, married in 2017. Rumors of relationship troubles intensified earlier this year after the pair revealed they weren't quarantining together during the coronavirus pandemic. 

The former "America's Got Talent" judge was living in her Los Angeles home while Laich was at his place in Idaho.

The insider added that "reconciliation is looking more and more likely." And in July, a source told Us Weekly that "they are both a bit anxious and in the past have gone back and forth in terms of their relationship, so things are always up in the air with them."

The insider added: “But they are not back together even though Julianne fully does want him back.”

Similarly, Laich was "definitely still open to getting back together with Julianne," an insider previously told People.
