Derek Hough, Hayley Erbert reflect on return to ‘DWTS’ nearly 1 year after emergency brain surgery

Hayley Erbert and her beloved husband, Derek Hough, were all smiles Tuesday night while reflecting on her triumphant return to “Dancing With the Stars.”

Nearly one year after undergoing emergency craniectomy, the former troupe dancer and her real-life partner performed an emotional routine that left the entire ballroom in tears during Dedication Night.

“I’m doing really good, especially after tonight,” Erbert exclusively told Page Six after the show. “I’m just kind of on cloud nine right now. It was a beautiful experience to be back in the ballroom.”

Hough echoed those sentiments, telling us, “There’s so much gratitude, so much to be thankful for.”

“To be here in this room, after a difficult and triumphant year … it’s amazing,” he added. “Looking through that [hospital] footage, in that moment, we never thought in a million years we’d be here.”
