While I try not to post a lot of things concerning Julianne’s personal life, I figured this one was important enough to merit a post. Please be respectful of Julianne (and Ryan) during this time.

E!’s Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough have broken up.

After more than two years of dating, the American Idol host and the Safe Haven star are no longer living together, sources confirm to E! News. They have amicably decided that they need time apart.

Insiders say that the duo’s respective busy work schedules proved to be too much, but they are still in regular contact and remain friends.

The other night, Ryan appeared on fellow E! host Chelsea Handler’s show and the pair discussed Julianne and the couple’s future. Ryan, upon seeing a photo of Julianne from the Golden Globes, calls her ‘stunning’ and says that she is ‘the best part of every day’. He kept coy about their plans for the future, but did mention that they both want to get married and have children.

You can check out a video of the segment (starting at 2:14) below!

On Saturday, Julianne joined boyfriend Ryan Seacrest and his family to go shopping in Beverly Hills. I’ve added 11 hq photos to the gallery of the trip!

Julianne’s been flying under the radar for the most part the last few weeks, so there hasn’t been much news to report on. For now, I’ve updated the gallery with a lot of high quality photos from the Safe Haven set and some of Julianne and her mother – Marriann – enjoying Oak Island in North Carolina!

Julianne,

I know there’s a good chance you’ll never see this (you probably have thousands of tweets to sort through!) but I needed the chance to tell you, on your birthday, just how much your fans love tou. I wanted to say how much you’ve inspired me. I look at all you’ve accomplished in twenty four short years and believe that no matter what, if I just keep persevering, nothing is impossible. You could have given up so many times in your life, but instead you believed in yourself. No matter what anyone said, you believed in your talent – in who you are – and you chased your dreams. Better yet: you made those dreams a REALITY. You are an inspiration, Julianne. Thank you. You will never understand how much I look up to you and how, truly, you’ve helped me to keep fighting. I know you’ve touched not only my life, but so many others. Please remember: you are loved by all of your fans. So on your days of doubt, remember we only see you in a positive light. For five years, I’ve been your fan and I think I will always be in awe of what a humble, kind, and selfless woman you are. You care so much about others and I hope you know that you inspire all of us to be a little more self-sacrificing. You inspire us to follow our dreams. You remind us to believe in ourselves and our dreams. Thank you for everything, Julianne. I can never tell you how much you’ve done for me, personally, and I know I’m not alone. Happy birthday! I hope you have a blessed 24th year and that every last dream you have comes true this year. We’ll be cheering you on! <3
