Julianne Hough may have found new love amid her divorce from her estranged husband Brooks Laich.
One year after filing for divorce from Laich, the "Dancing With the Stars" alum, 33, was photographed packing on the PDA with model Charlie Wilson in Los Angeles Friday.
In photos obtained by Page Six, Hough gave her rumored new beau a hug and a kiss outside an L.A. restaurant before they headed inside to pick up some takeout, including a few green juices.
The "Safe Haven" star wore a sports bra, fuzzy brown jacket, gray sweatpants, and slippers for the outing. Wilson, who is represented by Ursula Wiedmann Models, kept it casual in a bright green T-shirt with copper-colored trousers and white sneakers.
Hough's rep did not immediately respond to requests for comment, according to the outlet.
The former "America's Got Talent" judge was previously linked to actor Ben Barnes, with whom she'd been seen out and about multiple times since April 2020. In January, the pair were seen enjoying ice cream together in Los Angeles.
However, an insider told People at the time that Hough and Barnes are just pals. "They have been friends for eight years," the unnamed tipster said. "There is nothing more to it."
Hough and Laich, 38, announced their split in May 2020. She filed court documents to end their three-year marriage in November last year.
"We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate," Hough and Laich said in a joint statement to People. "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 the retired hockey player started dating in 2013 and married in July 2017 after an almost two-year engagement.
Months before announcing their split, there were already signs that the two were going through marriage problems. It was reported in January 2020 that Laich and Hough were spending time apart. The exes also quarantined separately, with Hough staying primarily in Los Angeles, while Laich was in Idaho.
A source told Us Weekly in May last year that Hough and Laich "argued a lot," adding, "[They] just had different viewpoints on important issues. [They were] trying to find themselves separate from one another and deal with any issues they’ve faced that were exasperated while married."
Months before Hough's sighting with Wilson, Laich went Instagram official with Icelandic athlete Katrín Tanja Davíðsdóttir in August.
