Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert Reveal Exciting Family Plans After a Challenging Year
In a heartwarming revelation, Derek Hough and his wife, Hayley Erbert, shared their hopes of starting a family nearly a year after their fairytale wedding. The “Dancing with the Stars” judge opened up in an exclusive interview with E! News, expressing excitement about having “little dancing children running around.”
The couple, who tied the knot in August 2023, faced a tumultuous year after Hayley suffered a severe health scare in December. Erbert endured a cranial hematoma that required an emergency craniectomy. Hough described the ordeal as one of the most difficult experiences of their lives but praised Hayley’s miraculous recovery.
“She’s the strongest person I know,” Hough said, reflecting on the ordeal. “It taught us the importance of staying present and cherishing every moment.”
As the couple celebrated their first anniversary, they looked back on a year filled with challenges and triumphs. Hough shared his admiration for Erbert’s resilience and grace, stating, “Love truly conquers all.”
The pair, who met through their shared love of dance, is now gearing up for Hough’s “Dance for the Holidays” tour, set to kick off in November 2024. Erbert will join him on stage, marking another milestone in their journey together.
With brighter days ahead, Hough and Erbert are excited about building a family and embracing the next chapter of their lives. “The future is filled with so much hope and love,” Hough added. “We can’t wait to see what’s next.”
