Would Derek Hough’s Wife Hayley Erbert Return to ‘Dancing With the Stars’?

Hayley Erbert, who left DWTS troupe seven years ago, remains open to future participation despite focusing on family and recovering from a serious medical emergency.

  • On the question of a comeback, Hayley Erbert, professional dancer and Derek Hough’s wife, says she is prioritizing her growing family but would consider returning if timing felt right; she also values her ties through a recent Wellness Pet Company partnership, TV Insider reports.
  • After starting on Move Live On Tour, Erbert later joined the DWTS troupe in Season 21, missing Seasons 28–30 during its hiatus, and was with the show for seven seasons.
  • Erbert's emergency drew immediate medical intervention after she had full seizures backstage and needed emergency brain bleed surgery, returning to performing just four months later.
  • Most recently, Erbert has popped up as a guest on the show and performed with her husband on a Season 33 episode, while Derek Hough, Dancing With the Stars judge, prioritizes their family.
  • Questions remain about Erbert's future with the show as Derek Hough recalled the stage manager announcing 'she's not coming onstage' and feared she might not return.
