The documentary “I Am: Céline Dion” evoked an emotional reaction in Derek Hough, as it reminded him of his wife, Hayley Erbert, and her similar struggles.
Sharing his feelings on Instagram, he wrote a lengthy caption explaining how difficult it was to watch the documentary, as it made him relive painful memories.“The documentary was incredibly powerful, showing Celine’s struggles with SPS but also her quirky and fun side,” he wrote after watching it with his partner.

“It was so hard to watch her in pain like that,” the Dancing With The Stars alum said. “It also reminded me of Hayley’s seizure on the side of the stage a few months ago. I could barely re-watch.”
Diagnosed with a cranial hematoma, Hayley was treated in an emergency after her blood vessel burst last year. Following the operation, she underwent cranioplasty surgery to replace a large portion of her skull that was removed during the surgery.
