Derek Hough Shares Family Plans With “Miracle” Wife Hayley Erbert

As I delve deeper into the captivating world of Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert, it feels like I’m immersed in a heartwarming love story straight out of a fairy tale. The way they support each other, both on and off the dance floor, is truly inspiring. Their journey, filled with accolades, red carpet events, and shared adventures, is a testament to their unwavering bond.


Derek Hough is looking forward to adding to his and Hayley Erbert’s ensemble.

In truth, the judge on Dancing with the Stars didn’t evade or avoid questions about their family planning with his spouse.

He recently shared with TopMob News that they are eager to start a family someday. He added, “We’ll wait and see what life has planned for us. Perhaps some energetic little dancers will be part of our future.

Regardless of whatever lies ahead for Derek, he’s cherishing the present moment and the people standing beside him every step of the way.

The professional dancer expressed, ‘Hayley is nothing short of a miracle.’ She endured a cranial hematoma at the close of 2023. This isn’t a statement I make lightly,” added the dancer. (For further details about this season’s Dancing with the Stars cast, don’t forget to catch up on TopMob News tonight, Sept 24.)

For that newly married pair, having just marked their first year together in August, all their shared experiences have provided them with a newfound clarity about what truly matters.

So when their anniversary did come around, the two enjoyed a quiet moment to themselves.

The individual, aged 39, recounted that they re-read their wedding vows at the same clifftop in Carmel overlooking the ocean. They expressed it as a deeply emotional moment because as they read the vows, they found themselves reflecting on how those promises had been truly tested.

Due to an unexpected turn of events, only a couple of months following their wedding – a time that Derek described as “very special” – Hayley found herself in the hospital, requiring urgent brain surgery.

But now, nine months after her health scare, Derek added of Hayley, “She’s doing great.”

Actually, they enjoy spending time together by relaxing, watching a show or series sequentially, and munching on various treats.

After a long day, it’s essential to unwind and relax, and for me, that means indulging in some tasty treats while watching my favorite true-crime shows on streaming platforms. Derek emphasized this point.

Instead, it’s his wife who provides the snacks, so they both find Pepcid Max useful.

Derek said, “She’s got popcorn, chips and salsa, candy, and chocolates – it’s like a feast! I jokingly replied, ‘Wow, you’re really making me jealous right now.’ However, the issue is that she has just two snacks while I have a hundred. She’s got self-control, something I clearly lack.

Apart from lounging on their sofa and enjoying meals, the pair have plans to travel together this year too, as Hayley will be part of Derek’s “Dance for the Holidays” tour.

He noted that sharing the stage with her during the festive season is unique, “It’s particularly meaningful.” He expressed his eagerness for the upcoming tour, stating, “We can’t wait to spread holiday cheer, affection, and the very essence of the season with everyone.

To delve deeper into the remarkable love tale of Derek and Hayley, two souls kindled by a mutual ardor for dance, continue your journey ahead.

Furthermore, it’s his wife who usually provides the treats, hence they both rely on Pepcid Max.

Derek said, “She’s got popcorn, chips with salsa, candy, and chocolates. I told her, ‘You’re giving me a hard time.’ But the thing is, she has just two while I have 100. She can resist, I can’t.
