Erbert and Hough, 38, got married in August 2023. The couple has been together since 2015.

The post comes two months after Erbert underwent an "emergency craniectomy" on Dec. 7 after suffering a cranial hematoma during the pair's tour stop in Washington, D.C. Erbert then underwent further surgery on Dec. 20 to "replace a large portion of her skull" that was removed during the initial procedure.

After a successful second operation, Hough shared his appreciation for the outpouring messages of support from fans and loved ones alike.

"This surgery marks a significant milestone in my wife’s recovery journey, and your support has played a crucial role in getting us here," he wrote on Instagram in late December. "We are filled with hope and optimism for the future, knowing she is on the path to a full recovery, surrounded by such a loving community."

Earlier this month, Hough and Erbert spoke of having the “highest of highs to the lowest of lows” as they opened up about their experience and her recovery in an emotional video posted on Instagram.

“It’s been wild … But I have to say, throughout this experience this woman has been unbelievable and her perseverance and her acceptance of the whole situation, her strength, it’s been remarkable to witness firsthand,” Hough said. “She really is a miracle and it’s been miraculous and it’s still a journey.”

Speaking out for the first time since her craniectomy, Erbert shared, “To this day, I still have really good days and I have really bad days — emotionally and physically sometimes — but I’m doing so much better every single day. Truly there is so much progress every day and I’m so grateful for that.”

The pair thanked fans for their support again as Erbert also unveiled her short hair and surgery scar on the top of her head.

“A new haircut, a new scar, a new sac of fluid on the side of my face, which is supposed to eventually go away,” she said, adding that post-surgery she has “a new outlook on life” and is “grateful to be alive and be here to tell my story.”
