The NY Daily News reports: Hough, 23, who is currently starring in the film adaptation of “Rock of Ages” and played the lead in last year’s “Footloose,” says the hard work involved with balancing her career with her relationship with Seacrest, 37, is well worth it, however.

“It’s a hard thing to do, especially when you’re so caught up in your work and bettering yourself,” she said. “It does get hard because you’re so focused on that, but I think at the end of the day you have to find a balance with what’s really important.

“I’m so lucky that I have a great relationship,” she added. “I’m very blessed and I don’t take anything for granted. I think if you alienate people and just focus on your work then it just becomes lonely and it’s not fun anymore.”

Hough and Seacrest have been dating since 2010, though the “Dancing with the Stars” alum reportedly said that the E! host had been chasing her since she was 18.
