Aww! Take a look at the engagement announcement (below):
And guess who had nothing but kind words to say about the news? Julianne. The Dancing With the Stars host hopped in the comments section to congratulate and wish Brooks and Katrín a “lifetime” of happiness together, writing:
“Congratulations
I’m so happy for you both as you step into this beautiful new chapter together. Wishing you both a lifetime of love, laughter, and endless adventures!”
That is so sweet! And Katrín thought so, too! She replied to Julianne, saying:
“@juleshough you are so sweet thank you!!”
Brooks also responded:
“thank you for the kinds words, much love Jules!”
Wow! We love this! It’s not every day you see someone so thrilled about their ex’s engagement to another woman! Check out the comments (below):

As you may recall, Brooks began dating Katrín in the summer of 2021 – more than a year after the former hockey player and Julianne announced their divorce. The two had been married for three years before calling it quits. Despite the breakup, Brooks has maintained a friendship with the ballroom dancer’s brother, Derek Hough. He even served as a groomsman when the DWTS judge got married to Hayley Erbert in August 2023! Crazy! However, there is clearly no bad blood between Julianne and Brooks after their divorce, based on the beautiful words she had to say about his engagement!
