Tears for Fears' Roland Orzabal, 64, and his wife Emily, 38, announce they are expecting their first child together
Tears for Fears musician Roland Orzabal and his wife have revealed that they are expecting a baby together. The musician, 64, and his spouse, photographer Emily Rath Orzabal, 38, shared the happy news on Instagram as they prepare to welcome their first child together. Emily shared a photo of her showing off her baby bump on social media and captioned simply with a red heart emoji. The couple 'secretly eloped' and married on Aspen Mountain in Colorado in 2020 after having to postpone their original wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Revealing their private nuptials, Emily posted on Instagram: 'We had to postpone our original wedding date in September 2020 because of Covid. 'I felt as all corona brides have been feeling: angry, sad, gypped, and confused as to when we should have a wedding. 'Roland and I were in the States for work. We desperately wanted to get married, even just legally, and so to honour our original date, we secretly eloped, just the two of us, atop a mountain in Aspen. It was the most magical moment of my life. 'It breaks my heart that my family could not be there to see it, but no one wanted to risk their safety. 'Two weddings was never my dream, but we adapted, separating the legal wedding from the celebratory wedding to come.' She continued: 'In September we were able to use the autumnal flowers we'd originally wanted, and next year we can have all of the spring flowers! 'We got married at 11,212 ft high on Aspen Mountain, whereas next year will be inside an incredible venue. 'I wore a stunning Amanda Wakeley dress, which flowed in the wind so beautifully, and next year I will be wearing Phillipa Lepley. 'I still don't feel as though I've had a wedding, because it was just the two of us, and it was a secret. We have yet to have a first dance or a honeymoon! 'But, six months into marriage, I am so happy, and cannot wait to marry Roland again next year, with all of our favourite people around us. We've been planning that one for a very very long time, so it should be extraordinary!' A year after Roland and Emily's elopement in 2020, they had a celebratory wedding with friends and family at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. Roland is one half of Tears For Fears with Curt Smith and their hits include Everybody Wants to Rule the World and Head over Heels. He already has two sons, Pascal and Raoul, from his previous marriage to Caroline Orzabal. Caroline died in July 2017 aged 54 after suffering from alcoholism-related dementia and cirrhosis, which followed a depression diagnosis. Following the passing of Caroline with whom he was married to since 1982, Roland told The Irish Times that his life 'sort of fell apart in 2018' and he went to rehab. The traumatic events in his personal life eventually led to Tears For Fears writing their seventh studio LP The Tipping Point. Tears For Fears released the song Emily Said on October 25, 2024, inspiring which Emily to post on her Instagram: 'It's a good day for Emilys around the world because @tearsforfearsmusic just released a song about us.'

Derek Hough has a baby on the way! DWTS legend announces wife Hayley Erbert's pregnancy
Derek Hough and his wife Hayley Erbet have a baby on the way. The couple announced they are expecting their first child together in sweet video posted to their Instagram accounts on Tuesday. Hayley, 30, unfurled their future child's sonogram, a burgeoning bump visible beneath her white dress. She shared a tender kiss and embrace with her husband, 40. The mom-to-be captioned the clip: 'We can't believe the biggest thing to happen to us could be so small.' It comes nearly two years after she suffered a terrifying health scare that led to her undergoing an emergency brain surgery. She recovered from the procedure and has returned to dancing on stage with her husband, 40. Derek and Hayley have been married since 2023 and envisioned welcoming children at some point. 'We definitely want to have a family eventually,' Derek told E! News last year. 'We'll see what's in the cards, what's on the horizon. Little dancing children running around.' It was nearly a year earlier the couple were grappling with uncertainty. Hayley was rushed to the hospital after suffering a cranial hematoma in December 2023 while they were performing at their Symphony of Dance tour in Washington D.C. and subsequently underwent an emergency craniectomy. A cranial hematoma happens when blood accumulates, 'within the brain or between the brain and the skull,' according to Mayo Clinic. Weeks later the Step Into... The Movies dancer underwent a cranioplasty to replace a large portion of her skull, which had been removed during the emergency procedure. Erbert's recovery was so successful, the couple were able to complete their 70 city Symphony of Dance tour, which ended May 19, 2024. Since her surgery, the couple went on to celebrate their first wedding anniversary on August 26, 2024. Last year, the couple recounted the terrifying health scare on an episode of Dancing With The Stars. 'I was on stage, and she's supposed to come out,' Derek shared. 'The stage manager walked out and just said, "Hey, she's not coming on stage." She was on the side of the stage having full seizures and, essentially, dying. It's really hard to even put into words other than just pure fear.' 'We rush her to the hospital, she's still in her costume, and the doctor came to me and he said that, "She has a severe brain bleed, so we have to operate right now."' 'He said that she might not make it and that even if she does make it, she won't be the same person.' Derek then remembered the moment when his wife woke up. 'She goes, "What happened? Weren't we just dancing?"' 'I can't even tell you, just knowing that she was there, she was in there, the relief I felt. She was Hayley. She was my wife. And then the journey began.' He then shared that her recovery included learning how to walk again and wearing a helmet as her skull recovered. 'I was struggling. I was just so impressed by her strength. She's my beautiful miracle,' he said. Hayley then shared that when she woke up doctors told her she might not be able to walk. However, Hayley didn't accept that possibility, sharing that as a 'stubborn' person she 'pushed herself to the limit' to not only walk, but to also dance again.
