"It gets better," she posted on Friday.
She later added a photo of an Ed Sheeran quote written on a chalk sign at a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf that read, "I can't tell you the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everyone."

The couple's hectic schedules are reported to be the cause of their split, as Ryan, 38, is busy with multiple jobs including hosting "American Idol" and his own radio show, and producing numerous reality TV shows for E! and Bravo.
Julianne has been on a whirlwind publicity tour of late for her new film with Josh Duhamel, "Safe Haven." She and her "DWTS" pro brother, Derek Hough, are also working a ballroom dance-themed drama for Starz, titled "Blackpool" (in reference to the legendary dance competition held in England).
