Hayley Erbert, who has been sporting a buzz cut since her surgery, has been receiving a lot of love from fans during the performances.
After her first show back, Erbert was moved to tears as the crowd cheered for her. A video capturing this moment was shared on TikTok.
Hough shared in December 2023 that Erbert had to go to the hospital because she felt confused after a performance on the Symphony of Dance Tour in Washington D.C.
In an Instagram post, Hough explained that Erbert was found to have a cranial hematoma caused by a burst blood vessel, and had to undergo emergency surgery.
Erbert had a second surgery called cranioplasty. Hough updated on Instagram that it was successful on December 21. Hough admired his wife's strength during an interview on Good Morning America in February.
He mentioned that during her health scare, he realized how important she is, not just as his love, but in everyday things. It was a moment for him to step up and he was amazed by her strength.
In that same month, Erbert shared about going through a range of emotions during her healing journey in an Instagram video update.
"I still have good days and bad days, both emotionally and physically," she shared. "But I can feel myself healing more and more each day."
Erbert first met Derek in 2014 when she was chosen to be a dancer in his and his sister Julianne Hough's Move Live Tour. Their relationship blossomed the year after and they got engaged in June 2022.
Erbert couldn't help but praise her husband's talent just one month after her brain surgery. He had just won his 4th Emmy for choreographing Dancing With the Stars.
In January, she took to Instagram to express her admiration, saying, "What a way to be welcomed home after such a challenging month. @derekhough, your drive, brilliance, and dedication to excellence never fail to impress me. I've enjoyed being a part of your journey so far and look forward to what the future holds. I love you more than anything and am incredibly proud of you, today and always."
