And fans were in for a treat when the multi-talent—singer, dancer, actor, choreographer—took to the ballroom floor once again with girlfriend Hayley Erbert. Derek and Hayley, who have been dating for six years, talk a lot about getting married on their YouTube channel, Derek & Hayley x Dayley Life, so it’s not surprising that fans had their fingers crossed for a proposal last fall on Dancing With the Stars. It wouldn’t have been the first proposal on DWTS. Remember back in 2016 when Sasha Farber proposed to Emma Slater? But Derek and Haley smashed our dreams before the live broadcast. Fans may not have gotten the fairytale ending they had hoped for, but we’re not ruling out a proposal in the near future. “It’s a very common question we get asked," Derek said in 2020 on daytime talker Tamron Hall. “And so we just kind of laugh about it and carry on…You know what? Actually during quarantine it was one of those situations where a lot of couples…either go away or they come together and, fortunately for us, we actually grew closer together. And, yeah, I think the future definitely has been on our mind, in many different ways. So we’ll see. It’s all going in the right direction.”
