‘DWTS’ Julianne Hough Remembers Her Rainbow Bridge Fur Babies

Julianne Hough is famous for being a dancer, but she’s just as human as the next person who lost a fur baby. Losing a pet over the rainbow bridge really is like losing a close member so this week, the Dancing With the Stars personality remembered her two fur babies who passed away in 2019.

DWTS Julianne Hough Suffered Heartbreak

The sister of Derek Hough is a successful dancer and an actress. And, she wrote a book. She seemed to have every success at her fingertips. She even made music and released a country album. But, she knew heartbreak, and she experienced dating and splitting from various men, including Ryah Seacrest. But it was the dissolution of her marriage to Brooks Laich that hurt the most.

When her pups passed away, Julianne Hough wasn’t in a good place emotionally. And although Dancing With the Stars fans didn’t know how Lexi and Harley died, at the time, they felt terribly sorry for her. Her pain was really so obvious. In fact, they were killed by coyotes, and she held a funeral for them per TV Shows Ace. 

Remembering Lexi and Harley

This weekend, the DWTS  co-host shared throwback photos of the saddest day. In her caption, she said:

September 28th, 2019 ️
I love you Lexi and Harley ❤️
Hard to believe it’s been 5 years without you in this 3D world.

Derek Hough commiserated with his sister, Julianne Hough, kindly writing in the comments on Instagram, “I think of them often and my heart still aches from that traumatic day. These pictures of memories brings a huge smile to my face. Lexi ‘s squishy face” and Harley’s “crazy hair” Love them dearly Love you sis.❤️”
