Brooks Laich is making a point of opening up about exploring his sexuality in 2020. On an episode of his podcast , which he co-hosts with singer Gavin DeGraw, the former athlete is opening up to listeners about his newfound exploration in sexuality and becoming more connected with his wife.
After saying on a that he is hoping to really explore learning about sexuality this year, Laich is now clarifying his comments.
Nothing dirty can exist between two people in love, he explains in the new episode. Ive shared this on the show many times, a big part of my journey in 2020 is exploring my sexuality. And by that I dont mean if Im gay or straight.
The former Washington Capitals player, who married former Dancing With the Stars dancer and actress in July 2017, then clarified his comment, stating that he was referring to his sexual relationship with his wife, rather than speculation of whether he identifies as LGBTQ+. What is my sexuality? What am I craving, what are my desires and what are my wifes? And how could we have this language to feed each other and get everything we want and be sexually expressed to the nth degree in everything.

Despite rumors of the couple swirling around in the press over the last few months, the 36-year-old insisted that this new sexual journey is due to Hough motivating him to find answers to his sexual questionsand not based on todays societal norms.
When you say sexuality, culture or society thinks its gay or straight, Laich points out. Some people are figuring that out, thats fine. But my journey is discovering and learning and figuring out my capacity for sexual feelings, which in my life has been very low on the priority list.
Ive discovered this, he added, and through doing this show and also through my wife, , and shared a lot of this with me and has perked my interest in it.
Ive been exposed to a beautiful new side of life that I never, ever explored or thought to explore before and its been amazing.
