How Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert Overcame a Scary Health Crisis

Shortly after they were married, the couple experienced a devastating setback.

In December 2023, Erbert became disoriented during their Symphony of Dance tour and was rushed to a hospital in Washington, D.C. after a blood vessel in her brain burst, causing a cranial hematoma. Due to the the bleeding and pressure on her brain, doctors performed an emergency craniectomy, a life-saving surgery where part of her skull was temporarily removed to relieve that pressure.

According to Good Morning America, doctors warned that Erbert might never return to dancing or regain the same abilities. However, she worked tirelessly through recovery and ultimately made a triumphant return to the dance floor on Dancing With the Stars.
