‘At the end of last night’s tout performance in Washington, D.C., my wife Hayley became disoriented and was taken to the hospital,’ he wrote. ‘She was diagnosed with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel and required an emergency craniectomy. She is in stable condition.’
‘I want to thank the first responders and medical personnel who have cared for and continue to care for her. I ask for your prayers and positivity during this time,’ Hough added.

‘Oh my friend sending love and keeping her in our thoughts for a full recovery. So scary ❤️,’ Josh Groban wrote underneath the post, which has received 206,184 likes in just two hours.
Erbert’s medical emergency comes almost a year exactly after her and Hough were involved in a a ‘scary’ car crash.
At the time, she told her social media followers they had been in a ‘pretty scary car accident in the mountains’ on December 12, 2022.
She went on to describe the terrifying elements of their crash: ‘Our accident involved a steep hill, icy roads, a tree, and worst of all, the fear that we would slide off the mountain.’
‘The scariest part was that Hayley doesn’t remember anything,’ Derek shared in the comments section, at the time. ‘She was dazed afterwards, being cheerful saying we should keep going to dinner as blood ran down her face.’
