In early December, after a show on her and Derek‘s Symphony of Dance tour, Hayley was hospitalized and diagnosed with a cranial hematoma caused by a burst blood vessel.

Derek previously shared that it’s possible she may be able to dance again.

“There’s a possibility, there really is. We actually met dancing on stage on tour. Our first kiss was on stage on tour. We were touring last year for the first time as a married couple and now this, going back out, there’s a completely different meaning and tension,” he told E! News.

“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,” she explained in a video posted to Instagram in February. “Truly there is so much progress every day and I’m so grateful for that.”
