DWTS Derek Hough and wife Hayley Erbert expecting first child
Professional dancer and Dancing with the Stars judge Derek Hough and his wife, Hayley Erbert Hough, are expecting their first baby together. The couple shared the joyful news on Instagram on July 22, 2025, posting a heartfelt video where Erbert Hough revealed sonogram images while the two embraced, accompanied by the caption, 'We can't believe the biggest thing to happen to us could be so small ♥️.' Hough, 38, and Erbert Hough, 30, tied the knot in August 2023 in Monterey County, California, following seven years of dating. The wedding announcement came earlier that year in June when Hough spoke with Extra about his upcoming marriage before the start of their Symphony of Dance tour in September. In interviews prior to the pregnancy announcement, the couple discussed their hopes of starting a family. In September 2024, Hough told E! News that he and his wife were excited to expand their 'family dance crew' with children in the future. Erbert Hough also revealed in February 2023, during an Entertainment Tonight interview, that meeting fellow dancers Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson's baby influenced their decision to move up family planning. 'It was pretty special,' she said, while Hough recalled Chmerkovskiy's encouragement about fatherhood being 'your ultimate creation.' The couple got engaged in June 2022 and have been open about wedding preparations, including the costs involved. In a recent Brides magazine interview, Hough admitted they were surprised by the expenses, calling it an 'eye-opening experience.' As they embark on this new chapter, fans are eager to see the couple's journey into parenthood unfold after years of shared passion for dance and life together.

Derek Hough, wife Hayley Erbert Hough announce they are expecting
Derek Hough and his wife Hayley Erbert Hough are going to be parents. The couple announced the sweet news with an Instagram video Tuesday. "We can't believe the biggest thing to happen to us could be so small," Erbert Hough wrote in the caption of the joint post. In the video, the couple share a warm embrace before Erbert Hough reveals a series of sonograms. The couple got engaged in June 2022 and tied the knot on Aug. 26, 2023, in Monterey County, California. News of Erbert Hough's pregnancy comes a year and a half after she was hospitalized for an emergency craniectomy following a performance on Hough's Symphony of Dance tour. An emergency craniectomy is a type of brain surgery typically performed in emergency situations, which relieves pressure on the brain. During the procedure, a surgeon removes a piece of skull, which is later replaced during a surgery called a cranioplasty, according to StatPearls, an online library published in the National Library of Medicine. Two weeks after the emergency craniectomy, Erbert Hough also underwent a cranioplasty surgery, which is "to repair cranial defects in both cosmetic and functional ways," according to the National Library of Medicine. In October 2024, the couple performed on "Dancing with the Stars" during the show's "Dedication Night." Hough called his wife his "beautiful miracle" during the episode and said that he was "impressed by her strength." Erbert Hough called her husband her "rock throughout it all." Following Tuesday's announcement, the couple's comments section was flooded with congratulatory messages from their "DWTS" family. "Truly no words can match this blessing!!!!" "DWTS" pro Britt Stewart commented. "Auntie Britt is ready! Love you both so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️."
