Dancing With The Stars fans know that Hayley Erbert is an insanely talented performer. In past seasons, she’s joined Derek onstage for at least one performance. Few can forget their Paso Doble from Season 29.
The happy couple married on August 26, 2023, in an intimate ceremony in Northern California before embarking on their fall tour. It’s definitely been a busy season for both Derek and Hayley.
Being a professional dancer comes with risks. However, Dancing With The Stars fans were stunned when Derek Hough shared that Hayley required emergency brain surgery immediately following a recent performance.
Derek took to Instagram to share an update on Hayley’s condition.
“At the end of last night’s tour performance in Washington D.C., my wife Hayley became disoriented and was taken to the hospital. She was diagnosed with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel and required an emergency craniectomy. She is in stable condition,” the Utah dancer wrote. “I want to thank the first responders and medical personnel who have cared for and continue to care for her. I ask for your prayers and positivity during this time.”
Fans, friends, and DWTS colleagues flooded the comment section to express concern for the 29-year-old.
“Focusing all my positivity and well wishes directly toward Hayley. She is a shining light 🤍” Season 32 champion Xochitl Gomez wrote in the comments.
“I’m so sorry Derek! Praying for a fast recovery 😢 She’s so amazing! So heartbreaking:(” Season 32 contestant Lele Pons added.
What is Hayley’s status now?
Derek Hough didn’t provide any other updates after the initial Instagram post that went up around 1 PM Eastern time on December 7, 2023. Fortunately, it seems like Hayley is in great hands and receiving the treatment she needs.
