Julianne Hough's Ex Chuck Wicks Says Their Split Wasn't His Fault: 'S-t Hit the Fan'

Country singer Chuck Wicks is speaking out about his split from Julianne Hough after they broke up back in 2009, when they were linked.

“Everyone thought we met on Dancing With the Stars. We didn’t, we met on tour. We were out touring with Brad Paisley,” Chuck said on the “Talk to Chuck” podcast. “We’re both loving life, we’re on a high because both careers are going great. We bought a house together, we did all these things and then out of nowhere, you find out that they’re not the person that you thought they were. And you break up. And then everybody wants to know why.”

Chuck revealed they made a “pact” to not reveal what went wrong and pretend everything was “fine” between them after their split.

“It wasn’t fine. S–t hit the fan,” he said. “I’m not going to throw anybody under the bus but … it wasn’t my fault.”

“When Julianne and I broke up … I was like, ‘When am I going to see her?’ Because I played the game. In the public eye, I was like, ‘Oh, man, it’s great.’ But actually, I didn’t really like her at the time,” Chuck continued “Now, I just don’t even care … It’s on you. You get past it. I’ve seen her one time. I’ve seen her one time in 10 years [at a softball charity challenge].”
