Divorce was not the first choice for Brooks Laich when it came to his estranged wife Julianne Hough.
The couple announced their split with a joint statement in May.
"We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have needed to arrive at our decision to separate," they told People magazine 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."

Now, a source close to the duo has claimed to Us Weekly that Laich, 37, felt "pushed toward" divorce.
“[Hough's] actions are what caused her divorce with Brooks,” the insider alleged before further claiming: “Brooks did not want a divorce, but he felt pushed toward it because of how Julianne was behaving. But Brooks is not the one who is bummed now.”

Additionally, the source revealed that Laich "doesn’t have anyone new in his life right now, romantically speaking."
