Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert made their first red carpet appearance together since her brain surgery recovery at Hulu on Disney+ launch party in LA. The couple coordinated their periwinkle outfits. Hough wore a tailored suit with a floral brooch on his lapel, while Erbert wore a long-sleeved blouse and a matching full skirt.

In the bash, Hough reunited with his Dancing With the Stars judges and sister Julianne, who cohosts the competition. Friday's bash followed Erbert's emergency brain surgery five months ago. After the tour show in Washington last night, it happened. In December 2023, my wife Hayley became disoriented and was hospitalized," Derek shared on Instagram. "She was diagnosed with a cranial hematoma and needed an emergency craniectomy. I want to thank the first responders and medical personnel for their ongoing care." Please pray for a successful recovery.

Derek shared that Erbert had a successful cranioplasty and is expected to fully recover. After Erbert's successful surgery, a source told media that they were grateful and overwhelmed with Hayley's recovery. This situation has given them a newfound appreciation for their life together. One month later, Derek won an Emmy for choreography.

“Exactly one month ago, I was in the hospital. This was a different moment,” Derek said on Jan 7, dedicating his victory to Erbert. "A month ago, I had a life-changing moment that taught me to cherish and savor every day. Erbert's strength and courage during her health scare were unbelievable, inspiring me daily.

Now that she has recovered, Erbert is ready to join Derek on his live performance tour." "I'm thrilled to announce that I've been cleared to rejoin the Symphony of Dance tour and will start dancing on April 14 in Melbourne, Florida," Erbert stated on Good Morning America. Despite her fear, she leaned on Derek for support.
