“Eyebrows low key looking flawless,” another commenter added.

DIVORCE DETAILS
Julianne and Brooks finalized their divorce in June, nearly two years after they initially filed.
Us Weekly obtained court documents that laid out their settlement and revealed plans to decide what they would do with the engagement ring the actress was given.
The Dancing With the Stars alum and athlete tied the knot in July 2017 after dating for four years.
Rumors began swirling that the duo had called it quits in 2020 after they spent time apart during the lockdown in the midst of the pandemic.
They officially announced their split in May 2020.
In a joint statement, the couple claimed: “We have lovingly and carefully taken the time we have need to arrive at our decision to separate.
“We share an abundance of love and respect for one another and will continue to lead with our hearts from that place. We kindly request your compassion and respect for our privacy moving forward.”
A source told Us that the couple “argued a lot” before calling it quits.
“[They] just had different viewpoints on important issues. [They were] trying to find themselves separate from one another and deal with any issues they’ve faced that were exasperated while married,” the insider added.
Julianne filed the paperwork to dissolve the marriage in November 2020.
Earlier this year, Us confirmed that the divorce was nearly finalized after the actress submitted a Declaration for Uncontested Dissolution.
“The parties have entered into a written agreement regarding their property and their marriage or domestic partnership rights, including support, the original or which is being or has been submitted to the court,” a February filing revealed.
Per their settlement, the couple had a prenup in place prior to their marriage.
Both declined to receive spousal support at the time.
In the process of figuring out the terms of their separation, the exes paid for their own attorneys.
They did not own any physical property together and, as such, walked away with everything they personally owned prior to the marriage.
Prior to the split Julianne and Brooks bought a joint property in the form of a membership to the Gozzer Ranch Gold and Lake Club.
Legal paperwork obtained by the outlet revealed that they each own 50 percent of the property, which means they do not have to divide the asset.
Both parties requested that the divorce judgment go into “immediate effect.”
They also both agreed to come together at a later date to “confer to effectuate the disposition of the engagement ring.”
If they can’t agree, a judge will step in to settle the dispute.
NEW BEGINNINGS
Following her split from Brooks, Julianne was linked to Ben Barnes.
She was also seen packing on the PDA with Charlie Wilson – a model.
In August 2021, Brooks made his relationship with Katrin Tanja Davidsdottir official.
About two months before her divorce, Julianne packed up and moved to New York.
She gave fans a glimpse at the next phase of her life, writing in an Instagram caption: “This spot on the floor has been where I eat my breakfast, listen to music and drink my own wine out of my one coffee mug.
“Where I contemplate this next chapter of life, and how things are so different than they were before.”
Julianne went on: “‘New beginnings’ was a phrase I heard a lot yesterday with some new friends that welcomed me into their home for Easter.
“When I truly think about it all, I have everything I need in this empty house.”
