Derek Hough reveals whether wife Hayley Erbert will make dance comeback 3 months after brain surgeries

Hough has repeatedly referred to his wife as a “miracle” ever since she underwent emergency brain surgery in December 2023 after becoming “disoriented” during their tour.

Explaining her condition on Instagram at the time, he wrote, “She was diagnosed with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel and required an emergency craniectomy.”

Per the Mayo Clinic, the condition is a collection of blood within the brain tissue or under the skull that puts pressure on the brain.

A few days later, Hough revealed the professional dancer underwent another surgery to “replace a large portion of her skull that was removed during her craniectomy.”

Erbert got candid about her health scare last month while showing off her new buzzcut, telling her followers she is “grateful to be alive.”

“To this day, I still have really good days and I have really bad days — emotionally and physically. But I’m doing so much better every single day,” she said in a clip alongside her husband.
