Discussing balancing her career and relationship with Seacrest, Hough told Parade in 2012, "It's a hard thing to do, especially when you're so caught up in your work and bettering yourself. It does get hard because you're so focused on that, but I think at the end of the day you have to find a balance with what's really important. I'm so lucky that I have a great relationship. I'm very blessed and I don't take anything for granted. I think if you alienate people and just focus on your work then it just becomes lonely and it's not fun anymore."
In March of 2013, it was reported that the media mogul and Hough had gone their separate ways. Despite splitting, they've remained friends. During an On-Air With Ryan Seacrest interview in 2022, Hough said that she and Seacrest have "respect and love" for each other.
