14 Instagram Celebrity Pets Sadder Than You Today

Chmerkovskiy, 32, opened up about the difficult loss while speaking to Us Weekly on Thursday, August 23. “I’ve been kind of going back and forth between seeing the bigger picture of life, you know, ‘life goes on,’ and at the same time, I kind of confront that thought and say, ‘Look, it’s all relative.’ You know? You love the things that you love and it’s relative to you,” he told Us at Victoria Arlen’s Locked in book launch and screening in Los Angeles. “So, relative to me, she brought so much happiness to me and really changed my perspective on a lot of things. I didn’t grow up with dogs, I never experienced that love that you can have for an animal, so this was new. And again, the permanence of death is also really frightening and scary and how it came out of nowhere, so it’s definitely [been] a week-and-a-half for me.”

The Ukraine native added that “time heals all and keeps it moving and that’s what’s most humbling about this whole thing. It’s very devastating and there’s nothing I can do now.”

Johnson, 24, revealed via Instagram on August 16 that Anastasia, who appears to be a small brown poodle mix, “unexpectedly passed away” one day earlier and the Dancing With the Stars pros were “in complete and utter shock.”

The So You Think You Can Dance alum then penned a heartfelt letter to the late pup. “To my sweet baby girl… thank you for officially making us family. You made it there 3 of us. You had a very adventurous life! You went on two different tours, you traveled the country, you went on set, you refused to sleep anywhere but my face, you had a big crush on Daddy, your sassy energy was contagious and you brought immense joy into our lives,” she captioned a series of photos of the canine. “We treated you like our baby cause you definitely were. I wish you could have been a flower girl at our wedding, but I know you’ll be there in spirit. Go bark at everyone and everything and run round in heaven my love. We love and miss you so much.”

Red Carpet Date! Sophia Bush and Grant Hughes Attend WHCA Dinner

Finding The One! Sophia Bush has kept her romance with Grant Hughes relatively private since the pair were first spotted together in Malibu in May 2020. However, the FocusMotion Health founder has shared a few photos of the couple. Ever since landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill in 2003, Bush’s personal life has made headlines. That is something that the actress and activist has intentionally changed, she explained in June 2021. “It’s hard to have nothing that’s yours. And when you are a person who lives in the public eye, everybody wants to pick over everything and that can be really tricky,” the False Positive actress told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I also grew up in the early aughts when girls were raked over the coals for any choices that they made. And I just was like, ‘I don’t think I like this.’ I didn’t like having my private life lied about. There were times where someone would send through an article and be like, ‘Well, supposedly you’re dating t...
