But I choose to be with you,’” she said of a conversation she had with her husband. “I think there’s a safety with my husband now that I’m unpacking all of this, and there’s no fear of voicing things that I’ve been afraid to admit or that I’ve had shame or guilt about because of what I’ve been told or how I was raised,” Hough added at the time.Hough and Laich married in July 2017 after a two-year engagement. They had been dating for a year and a half when Laich popped the question. Prior to their alleged marriage issues, the pair opened up about their desire to start a family.
