Brooks Laich found his ultimate fitness buddy — and travel sidekick — with wife Katrín Tanja Davíðsdóttir.
Laich split from Julianne Hough in May 2020 after nearly three years of marriage. Several months later, he sparked romance speculation with Davíðsdóttir after “liking” several of her Instagram photos. While Hough filed for divorce in November 2020, it wasn’t until summer 2021 that Laich went public with his and Davíðsdóttir’s relationship.
The pair went on to get engaged in December 2024, writing via Instagram at the time, “12.16.24. Forever feels just right with you!” Laich and Davíðsdóttir announced in May 2025 that they were expecting their first child. The couple welcomed daughter Emberly Heba Laich later that year.
In August 2026, Laich and Davíðsdóttir tied the knot at their home in Idaho.
