Erbert, 31, debuted her baby bump over the summer.
“We can’t believe the biggest thing to happen to us could be so small,” she wrote alongside July 2025 maternity shoot footage.
Their pregnancy news came nearly two years after Erbert and Hough, 40, walked down the aisle.

The couple wed in Carmel, Calif., in August 2023.
Four months later, Erbert was hospitalized with a cranial hematoma and underwent emergency brain surgery.
The Dancing With the Stars troupe dancer celebrated the second anniversary of her health scare via Instagram in December 2025, reflecting on the “miracle” of “creating life” two years after “fighting for [her] life.”

“I’m truly grateful for it all, and so incredibly proud of myself and my body for everything it has endured,” Erbert wrote.
She and Hough met in 2014 when Erbert was hired for her now-husband’s Move Live Tour with sister Julianne Hough.
They started dating the following year, and Derek popped the question in 2022.
