Dancer, actress, and all-around-star Julianne Hough and her former NHL player husband Brooks Laich are the epitome of modern-day couple goals. Their commitment to being open with themselves and each other.
It all started when Julianne revealed to the world that she was ‘not straight.’
Julianne revealed last year that she had said to her husband, “‘You know I’m not straight, right?’ And he was like, ‘I’m sorry, what?’ I was like, ‘I’m not. But I choose to be with you.'”

For the start of 2020, Brooks also implied he was going to go on a journey to understand his own sexuality.
Filling out a questionnaire about 2020 resolutions on his Instagram stories, Brooks fi”I want to learn” question with “more about my intimacy and sexuality.”
Brooks has now expanded on what this means for him and how he will be living his life.
“One of my goals this year is to really explore, like, learning about sexuality,” he said on an episode of the podcast How Men Think . “”The amount of time in my life that I’ve studied hockey, athletics, training nutrition…”
“People think that sexuality is just the act of sex, of just having sex,” Brooks continued.
“There’s so much more to it.” Brooks went on to ask, “Are you fully 100 % expressed in your true sexuality with your partner? With everything? You could not imagine having a better sex life? Are you truly there?”
“I’m not either. So that’s what one of my goals this year is to really dive into.”
“It doesn’t mean you’re the best performer. It just means, ‘Are you fully expressed?’ Do you even know who you are sexually? And I truly, to my core, do not.”
“I’m super excited about that journey to really learn about sexuality and also get better at the performance of it, but also just the understanding of who I am, who my wife is, that sort of dance.”
Brooks then noted that he plans on taking a “pleasure first” approach to life in the new year, adding, “So the most important thing in your day is pleasure, but what if I looked at my life, and what would the quality of my life be if I woke up prioritizing pleasure as the absolute most important thing in my day?”
“Pleasure first is a new concept that I’m trying to explore in my life because it has not been,” Brooks continued.
“It’s been almost last in the course of my life.”
