Julianne Hough’s brother Derek finds new hope following wife Hayley’s brain surgeries

Julianne Hough and Brother Derek Relationship Strengthened After Wife’s Health Crisis
Julianne Hough, known for her appearances on “Dancing with the Stars,” has put aside any previous grievances with her brother Derek following a family medical emergency. In December, Derek’s wife, Hayley Erbert, underwent emergency surgery for a cranial hematoma, which has had a profound impact on their relationship. Julianne, 36, opened up about this experience, stating that it has given them a “clean slate.”
In an interview with People magazine, Julianne expressed how life-changing events like Derek’s wife’s health crisis can make other issues seem insignificant. The scare of potentially losing a loved one puts everything into perspective and brings about a sense of clarity and unity within the family. Despite any past conflicts or competition between them, Julianne emphasized that nothing matters more than being there for each other in times of need.
Hayley Erbert, who married Derek in August 2023 after eight years of dating, was rushed to the hospital in December when she became disoriented after a performance. Doctors diagnosed her with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel, leading to two emergency brain surgeries. The Mayo Clinic describes an intracranial hematoma as a collection of blood within the brain tissue or underneath the skull, causing pressure on the brain.
After undergoing surgery to insert a skull implant to protect her brain, Hayley began her recovery process. Derek called his wife’s recovery “nothing short of a miracle,” highlighting the strength and resilience she showed throughout this challenging time. Julianne also acknowledged the ups and downs that come with family relationships, underscoring the importance of staying connected and supporting each other.
Julianne shared that despite differences in beliefs and opinions, her family remains a source of strength and love. She recognized that disconnecting oneself from loved ones, even to protect oneself, can be painful and that the ultimate goal is to foster a deep connection with one another. Tough times, like the challenges faced by Derek and Hayley, can bring families closer together and remind them of the importance of unity and support.
Julianne has also been a pillar of support for her sister Catherine, who experienced a heartbreaking loss two years ago. Through these trials, Julianne has gained a greater appreciation for the compassion and empathy that exist within humanity. She believes that despite conflicts and divisions in society, people ultimately want to come together and support each other in times of need.
In conclusion, Julianne Hough’s experience with her brother Derek’s wife’s health crisis has highlighted the strength of family bonds and the resilience that emerges during challenging times. Through moments of crisis, relationships can be strengthened, grievances can be set aside, and a renewed sense of unity and love can prevail. Ultimately, it is the support and connection between family members that matter most when faced with life’s difficulties.

Meghan Markle shocked by unexpected visitors near $14M Montecito mansion

Meghan Markle’s Easter celebration was a little bit more eggs-tra this year.
The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram to share a sweet video of a mama duck and her ducklings waddling across a path near her $14 million Montecito, Calif., mansion.
Markle appeared to be shocked and delighted by the unexpected visitors as she was seen covering her open mouth with her hand and shaking her arms in excitement.
“Wishing you a Happy Easter full of love…and surprises!” she captioned the post on Sunday.
The “Suits” alum, 43, was barefoot and dressed in a chic white dress as she spotted the flock in the video.
Markle has been giving fans more glimpses of her and husband Prince Harry’s 18,000-square-foot estate while promoting her latest business ventures, including “With Love, Meghan” on Netflix and her As Ever brand.
The couple purchased the lavish property located in the Santa Barbara enclave in 2020 after stepping down from their roles as senior royals.
The couple and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have plenty of space with nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, plus a pool, a tennis court, a rose garden, a children’s cottage, a chicken coop and a guest house.
Last month, Markle opened the doors of her home to a journalist for the first time with one strict rule.
“I was allowed in on the condition that no photographs were taken in, or of, the house,” New York Times food writer Julia Moskin revealed in article published in early April.
Markle also prioritized her family’s privacy by opting to film her Netflix series at an $8 million farmhouse two miles away from her own mansion.
During the New York Times interview, the duchess hit back at criticism that her lifestyle is unattainable.
“Don’t they know my life hasn’t always been like this?” she said, gesturing to the expansive property.

Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer Are Married

Kristen Stewart is married!
The Twilight star, 35, tied the knot with Dylan Meyer in Los Angeles on Sunday, April 20, according to TMZ.
The outlet reports the couple exchanged vows at home in front of an intimate group of loved ones — including Ashley Benson and her husband Brandon Davis — after obtaining a marriage license at the courthouse.
Stewart and Meyer, who went Instagram official with their relationship in October 2019, got engaged in 2021. During an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show that year, Stewart joked that Meyer, 37 — who is the daughter of Oscar-nominated screenwriter Nicholas Meyer — beat her to the punch and was the one who proposed.
“It’s not a given that I would be the one, you know what I mean? Like, with two girls, you never know, like, who’s going to fulfill what weird f—— gender role thing and we don’t do that or think about it in those terms,” the actress explained to host Howard Stern.
“So I was like, ‘Wait, well, I’m not the one for sure.’ And so I was kind of joking for a bit, like, ‘No, I want to be the one to propose, like, I want to be proposed to’ and then she just grabbed that bowl and made it happen. It was f—— so cute,” she continued, adding that Meyer “knocked it out of the park” with her proposal.

Stewart had previously opened up to Stern about the first time she told Meyer she loved her. “It was really late and we were in some s—– bar, and her friends were there or whatever and they walked out, and I was just like, ‘Oh, man, I’m so f—— in love with you.’ Like, done,” she recalled in a November 2019 appearance on the shock jock’s show. “It wasn’t like ‘a thing,’ and it also was so obvious.”
In early 2022, Stewart shared an update on her wedding plans, telling late-night host Stephen Colbert that she’d like to have a “big party or something” — but that she could also envision just deciding to get married on the spur of the moment.
“We might just go do it this weekend, I don’t know, and then, like, just hang out with everyone afterwards,” she said. “I just want to do it, you know? I’m not a good planner. I can’t make plans for dinner.”

Stewart later told CBS Sunday Morning that the wedding would “happen when it’s supposed to happen,” adding, “But I also don’t want to be engaged for, like, five years. Like, we want to do it, you know what I mean?”

Though the pair has kept their relationship pretty private over the years, they have offered rare glimpses into their love story. In a 33rd birthday tribute to Stewart in April 2023, Meyer affectionately referred to the Spencer star as her “favorite Shrimp.”
“Sweetheart, I love you more than all the shades of green, all the phases of the moon, all the cats in LA. Love you more than chunking express, or Denis Johnson’s already dead, or the stooges’ raw power,” Meyer playfully wrote on Instagram. “I love you more than a dominos pizza when you’re stoned, a Ricky’s fish taco when you’re hungover, and EVEN more than a plate of wings — hot and extra crispy — from rustic, aka the pinnacle of my capacity to love.”
She continued, “Some might say that’s too much love but I say those people are squares. Go big or go home! Happy birthday dude I love you so much.”
When Meyer shared her first photo with Stewart on Instagram in October 2019 — capturing the couple kissing — she wrote, “Find me under the covers hiding from the happiness police.”
