From their honeymoon to their lives as husband and wife, these two were total #RelationshipGoals, but alas, the bliss didn't last. In May 2020, the pair announced that they were separating after three years of marriage. Laich and Hough tied the knot in July 2017 in Idaho after dating since 2014. In the fall of that year, Hough told ET that she was loving married life, saying, "I'm really excited. This is a different chapter. I'm 29, and I feel like I'm sort of coming into my own being married. I feel this maturity that has kind of just happened, and a peace and a direction that I want to go towards." We're taking a look back at the happier times during the couple's adventurous marriage.
