Julianne Hough opens up in the August 2014 issue of Redbook about her dating history and reveals what may have caused the demise of her three-year relationship with Ryan Seacrest.

“Every relationship, there was nothing wrong or bad, but there was nothing right,” she said of previous romances. “I had one foot out because I didn’t want to get hurt. And I didn’t say what was on my mind because I didn’t want to ruffle any feathers. I needed to be perfect.”

After the relationship ended the ex-“Dancing with the Stars” professional took a vacation with her family and came to a realization.

“I had this epiphany when my family went to a six-day seminar [last November] about creating your own destiny,” she revealed. “I learned so much about myself and why my relationships didn’t work that by the end I was on a high. I was seeing a couple people, but immediately [pretends to text guys], ‘You are nice, but this is going nowhere.

Soon after a mutual pal set the 25-year-old “Footloose” star up with hockey player Brooks Laich and the two have been an item since December 2013.

“We’ve been open and honest from day one,” she says. “Now I’m not holding anything back, because I’d rather get my heart broken than never know what it is to be completely, madly in love. If I had been this open in my last relationship, who knows?”
