Julianne Hough Approves Of Brooks Laich's Thirst Trap: 'This Is Awesome'

Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich appear to be on flirty terms, as per their Instagram exchanges.

On Wednesday (May 27), the former NHL player, 36, took to Instagram to share three steamy shots of himself in an attempt to drop his first thirst trap. Interestingly enough, he confessed he just learned what the term meant. "I just heard that term a few weeks ago, and our @howmenthinkpodcast producer @torrbelle challenged me do my best 'thirst trap' photo for this weeks episode!" Laich captioned his post. "So here's 3 ridiculous shots for you to choose from. Tell me which one is your favorite (photo 1, 2, or 3) and what the 'thirst trap' caption should be."

Laich called the move ”completely over the top and ridiculous,” but he wasn’t really thinking about it too much. "Best part was watching @hebercannon die laughing behind the lens. So here you go internet, feast your eyes on this senseless carousel!" he added. His post did what it's supposed to do and caught some comments, including one by Hough. "This is awesome haha," she replied along with laughing and fire emojis. "Also the fact that you just figured out what a thirst trap is...[laughing emoji]."

In late May, it was reported that while the two are continuing to spend time apart, they are indeed fighting for their relationship as Hough remains in Los Angeles and Laich resides in Idaho amid the lockdown.
