The Couple Has Appeared in Past Singalongs

Hough and Erbert have appeared together in several past singalong specials, performing to “Be Our Guest” from Beauty & the Beast, “Step in Time” from Mary Poppins, and “Jingle Bells” and “Hey Santa” for Christmas.


The couple also appeared in The Queen Family Singalong, dancing to “Another One Bites the Dust” performed by Alexander Jean. They also performed in the Oscars-themed special Step Into… The Movies with Derek and Julianne Hough. They danced a tribute to Moulin Rouge! sung by Amber Riley.

The couple got engaged last year. Recently, they shared that they were in a scary car accident that caused Erbert to get stitches in her face. As she wrote on Instagram, “I’m manifesting that 2023 is a year of health and strength. No more injuries.”
