While some couples prefer to separate their career and personal life, Derek, 39, is glad he and Hayley, 30, can include one another in both.
“We found a really good balance,” he said. “We love it. We’re actually really fortunate. We were just being grateful every day. There’s so much to be grateful for.”
Indeed, Hayley’s recovery had been a traumatic but rewarding chapter as the dancer regained her strength alongside her husband.
“When everything happened, I said, ‘Wow, honey, you’re putting those vows to the test really fast, through sickness and in health,'” Derek told E! News in December. “Our love has just deepened, and it’s gotten stronger and better. One year, I mean, that’s 15 years in Hollywood years, so we’re doing great.”
