Parents-to-be Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert were recently spotted in Los Angeles’ charming Larchmont Village, enjoying a casual summer outing just weeks before welcoming their first child. Radiating joy and calm, the couple was seen sipping cool drinks—green juice for Hayley, coffee for Derek—while taking a quiet moment amid the final countdown to parenthood.
Hayley, 30, looked effortlessly radiant in a fitted black Alo bodysuit that perfectly showcased her growing baby bump. She kept her look simple and relaxed with white slides, her overall presence exuding the quiet confidence of a soon-to-be mom soaking in these precious final moments.
Derek, 40, stayed cool in light gray joggers and a black short-sleeve tee that showed off his well-known dancer’s physique. The Dancing With the Stars alum paired the laid-back look with black sneakers, his signature blonde hair swept into a polished pompadour.
The couple, who announced their pregnancy with a tender black-and-white Instagram post in late July captioned “Already so loved ❤️”, are embracing this joyful chapter following a year filled with both challenge and growth. Hayley’s recovery from a cranial hematoma in late 2023 marked a turning point, one that gave even deeper meaning to this new season of life.
Reflecting on her journey while celebrating her 30th birthday last October, Hayley shared heartfelt gratitude for the last decade of transformation — finding her husband, her passions, and her purpose along the way. “These were extremely transformative years for me,” she wrote.
Meanwhile, Derek isn’t just preparing for fatherhood — he’s stepping into a new spotlight as well. The Emmy-winning dancer was recently announced as the new host of Extra, succeeding longtime anchor Billy Bush. Set to begin his hosting duties with Season 32 on September 8, Derek shared in a press release:
“The ballroom has been my stage, my home, and my launchpad. Now, I’m stepping into an exciting new spotlight… It’s an honor to join a show that’s been a cornerstone of entertainment news for over 30 years — and I’m ready to help lead it into a bold, fresh new era.”
As both Hayley and Derek look ahead to welcoming their first child and embracing new beginnings in their personal and professional lives, fans are already celebrating what many are calling the “sweetest chapter yet” for the beloved couple.
