Derek Hough’s Wife Hayley Underwent Emergency Craniectomy While On Dance Tour Together

Derek Hough‘s wife Hayley Erbert underwent an emergency craniectomy after experiencing symptoms while on a dance tour with her husband.

In an Instagram post Thursday, the Dancing with the Stars judge revealed that his wife of only three months “became disoriented and was taken to the hospital” while on their Symphony of Dance tour. A craniectomy is a type of surgery to remove a portion of the skull to help relieve extra pressure on the brain.

“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.
