Is Marriage on the Horizon for Derek and Hayley?
Now, let’s talk about Derek’s personal life for a moment. Shortly after attending his sister Julianne Hough’s 2017 wedding to Brooks Laich, Derek couldn’t help but reflect on his own future. In a candid moment, he joked about possibly eloping with Hayley, who’s 23 years younger than him. “I was just looking at wedding photos with her now-husband, and me and him were like two ladies looking at these photos, like, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s so beautiful.’ It was amazing, it really was. It was perfect. It was perfection. And I’m like, ‘Shoot, I’m going to have to elope after this,’” he playfully admitted.
While Derek might be teasing about an elopement, there’s no denying the strong bond he shares with Hayley. She previously honored him in a heartfelt Instagram post celebrating his 33rd birthday, describing him as someone who has profoundly impacted her life. “You exemplify so much strength and passion in everything that you do. You inspire any and every person you encounter, including me. I look up to you everyday and believe I am a better version of myself because of you,” Hayley wrote. “You have reshaped my life completely. You changed the way I discover, experience, and understand the world. You have showed me how to love deeper than I even knew was possible.”
