Derek Hough planned a very special proposal for Hayley Erbert
Us Weekly had the chance to speak with Derek Hough shortly after the engagement announcement.
“I just love calling her my fiancée,” the Utah native told the publication. “I think that word now feels right to the way I feel and to my commitment to her and to our love and story and life together. … Hayley is The One.”
The couple doesn’t have any children yet but has several cats and dogs.
“I know she’s just going to be an amazing mother and amazing wife and she’s so thoughtful, so caring, so loving,” Derek said about his new fiancee. “Just seeing the way she is with our animals, I mean if she’s even a quarter of the way she is with our animals how she is with our kids I just can’t wait to see her be a mom.”
But even though Derek and Hayley enjoy traveling around the world together, he opted to propose at home. He said that they really enjoy being in their special place together.
“It felt special to transform the house into this beautiful sanctuary with candles and flowers and of course our special songs and music that mean a lot to us, playing at the same time,” he continued. “I don’t think I remember anything I said. I think we just hugged and cried for 20 minutes without words. It was honestly even more beautiful than I could have imagined with all the flowers and the candles.”
And of course, Hayley said “yes.”
Many fans awaited the proposal for years
Some fans thought that Derek Hough’s proposal would be more theatric. They believed he would actually propose on DWTS when Hayley and Derek performed together during Season 29. However, he disappointed fans when he revealed he was waiting for a more private moment to ask Hayley to marry him.
But now, the moment finally arrived. Fans can’t wait to hear more about the wedding plans that Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert make together. It’s definitely going to be a very special event.
