Derek Hough thinks his wife Hayley is a medical "miracle"

Derek - who married Hayley last year - told E! News: "She's a miracle. She really is and I don't say that lightly."

The professional dancer and Hayley would both love to have children one day.

He said: "We definitely want to have a family eventually.

"We'll see what's in the cards, what's on the horizon. Little dancing children running around."

The loved-up couple celebrated their first wedding anniversary in August, and they found a special way of enjoying the landmark.

Derek shared: "We actually read each other our vows again where we got married on this cliffside in Carmel overlooking the ocean. And it was really emotional because we were reading the vows and thinking like, 'Wow, we really put these to the test.'"

Derek is set to perform alongside his wife on his 'Dance for the Holidays' tour.

And the ballroom dancer has admitted that he can't wait to perform with his wife once again.

He explained: "To perform with her during the season of miracles, it's special.

"We're excited to go on tour and to share the joy and the love and just the spirit of the holidays with everybody."

Hayley required emergency surgery to treat a cranial haematoma in December 2023, after falling ill during the couple's 'Symphony of Dance' show.

And earlier this year, Derek hailed her recovery as "miraculous".

He said on 'The Jennifer Hudson Show': "She is doing amazing. She is an absolute miracle, miraculous.

"It's been a rollercoaster. It's been wild but I just have to say again, thank you to everyone who has been so supportive and so loving. It really truly mean the world to us, it really does."
