Julianne Hough is officially calling it quits on her nearly three-year marriage to husband Brooks Laich, according to reports. 

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

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.
