Derek Hough is going to be a dad in a few months, and that is not his only new job. The dancer is dancing his way over to Extra TV as the new host, replacing Billy Bush.
Hough said, “The ballroom has been my stage, my home, and my launchpad. Now, I’m stepping into an exciting new spotlight as the host of ‘Extra.’ I’m truly looking forward to collaborating with this incredible team, diving into this next creative chapter, and connecting with fans and audiences in a whole new way. 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 for Season 32 and beyond.”
Fun Fact: He is not the only Dancing with the Stars personality to be the face of the entertainment news show. Mario Lopez was the first one when he hosted it from 2008 to 2019.
Fun Fact 2: This was a role he was born to play!

Derek Hough is dancing into fatherhood |

Derek Hough and his wife, Hayley Erbert, are working on a new project. They are expecting their first baby later this year.
They made the announcement on social media in a video with the couple hugging and the mom-to-be showing off the baby’s sonogram. You can also see her baby bump, which makes me think that she is in her second trimester.
The Houghs met in 2014 when she was cast to be one of Julianne Hough’s backup dancers. By 2015, they were an item. However, they did not get engaged until 2022 and tied the knot in August 2023.
Four months later, their love was tested when she suffered a burst vessel in her brain and underwent emergency craniectomy. She survived the surgery, but she had a long road to recovery, and he remained by her side.
Now that that bad time is over, they are ready for the good times, like their first baby!

On Saturday, Derek Hough turned the big 4-0! However, you would not know it by looking at the Dancing with the Stars judge!
And he knows that too. As he explained, “For the past 5 years, I’ve been looking in the bathroom mirror and telling @hayley.erbert, ‘Not bad for 40!’
“She’d always laugh and remind me, ‘You’re not 40 yet, you can’t say that.’
“Well, today’s the day I can officially say it:
“Hey, not bad for 40”
Not bad for 40 at all!

BTWF: Emma Slater and Derek Hough in George Michael’s Round Here |

|  Emma Slater/Facebook Before Derek Hough was judging Emma Slater on Dancing with the Stars, they danced in George Michael’s unreleased music video for Round Here. They look so young when she was 15 and he was 19 in that 2005 photo.
Slater wrote this with the photo: “This photo was taken in London on my first professional job (I was 15 at the time though I said I was 16 was I wanted to do it) Derek Hough did it also! I just stumbled across it, can you find us?! It was for a George Michael music video that he never used.
“Love a blast from the past. If you just started watching the show you may not know that a lot of the pro dancers grew up dancing along side each other in competitions. There’s a lot of back story!”

BTWF: Derek and Julianne Hough in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone |

Before Derek and Julianne Hough danced their way into our hearts on Dancing with the Stars, they worked their magic in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. How cute was the 15-year-old big brother and his 12-year-old sister in that 2001 movie?
“Did you know @juleshough and I were in the first Harry Potter film? ✨,” the DWTS judge wrote. “We spent three months in the Great Hall, the Forbidden Forest, and even the Quidditch pitch! It was incredible to be part of such a historic moment. And I may have ‘accidentally’ taken a Ravenclaw robe, scarf, tie, and a few pieces of silverware from set… but shh, don’t tell! Just a little holiday magic and nostalgia to share with you all. Happy holidays #harrypotter”
And now, the Hogwarts police are going to be going after Derek to reclaim the stolen items.
