Here's why this baby news feels extra special
Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert tied the knot in 2023. Later that same year, the couple faced a terrifying experience that made this moment even more meaningful.
In late 2024, while on tour, Erbert suffered a serious medical emergency. She had a seizure backstage during a performance and was rushed to the hospital. Doctors discovered a severe brain bleed, and she had to undergo emergency surgery.
Her prognosis was uncertain at first, but Erbert made a full recovery and has since returned to everyday life. Now, less than a year after Erbert's health scare, the couple is celebrating a major life milestone.

Sarah Jessica Parker Bids Goodbye To Carrie Bradshaw: 'Been Frustrated And Rooted For Her'
Last Updated: Sarah Jessica Parker says an emotional goodbye to Carrie Bradshaw as And Just Like That wraps up with Season 3, calling it a 'joyous adventure.' Sarah Jessica Parker is officially bidding farewell to Carrie Bradshaw — the iconic character she embodied for nearly three decades. With HBO Max's And Just Like That concluding after its third season, Parker took to Instagram to reflect on her 27-year journey as the Sex and the City heroine and expressed heartfelt gratitude for the ride. 'Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all," Parker wrote in a deeply emotional post. 'I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her. The symphony of all those emotions has been the greatest soundtrack and most consequential companion. Therefore the most sentimental and profound gratitude and a lifetime of debt. To you all." View this post on Instagram A post shared by SJP (@sarahjessicaparker) Parker's co-star Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte York, also penned a touching note following the announcement. 'I am profoundly sad. I love our whole beautiful cast and crew. 400 artisans working so hard on our show with deep love. And to our loyal fans, we love you forever and ever," Davis wrote. The news of the show ending was confirmed just as Season 3 started airing. Showrunner Michael Patrick King explained that they had initially chosen to delay the announcement to preserve the audience's excitement. 'We didn't want the word 'final' to overshadow the fun of watching the season. It's with great gratitude we thank all the viewers who have let these characters into their homes and their hearts over these many years," he said. From chronicling the ups and downs of single life in Manhattan to evolving into a tale of middle-age and reinvention, Carrie Bradshaw has remained an enduring cultural icon. With And Just Like That offering a bittersweet close to the story, Parker's tribute reminds fans just how deeply intertwined her real-life journey has been with the fictional one.
