Derek & Hayley Hough Introduce Baby Everley After Near-Fatal Health Scare | PEOPLE

Derek Hough and his wife, Hayley Erbert Hough, open up about becoming parents to their baby girl Everley after a life-altering health crisis. In this deeply personal conversation, the couple reflects on the whirlwind of their first weeks as new parents — the awe of watching their daughter change every day and the overwhelming emotions that come with stepping into a role they long dreamed of. Derek shares his admiration for Hayley as a mother, calling her “meant for this,” while both describe how parenthood has reshaped their sense of gratitude and purpose. The journey to this moment was not an easy one. Hayley speaks candidly about undergoing an emergency craniectomy followed by a cranioplasty, and Derek recalls the first question she asked upon waking: whether she would still be able to have children. The couple reflects on the powerful symbolism they found along the way, including a striking double rainbow on Christmas Day leading up to their “rainbow” baby’s birth. Together, Derek and Hayley offer an intimate look at resilience, healing and the quiet beauty of trusting your instincts as new life begins.
