00:00 Derek Huff and Haley Erbert are married. The sweet pair tied the knot in Monterey
00:05 County, California on Saturday and exchanged their vows in front of a
00:09 hundred and six of their closest friends and family members according to People
00:14 Magazine. "We're in a redwood forest but we got married right in front of this
00:18 mother tree that's surrounded by all these smaller trees. They drop all the
00:22 seeds and it plants kind of like an army of children to protect the mother. The
00:27 symbolism of it was beautiful. We're here planting our seeds to grow our family,"
00:32 Haley told the publication. The two who have been together since 2015 announced
00:38 their engagement back in June 2022 and a few months later in October 2022, the
00:44 Dancing with the Stars judge stopped by Access Daily and spilled about wedding
00:49 plans. "Please welcome our friend the three-time Emmy winner and six-time
00:54 Dancing with the Stars champ, Derek Huff is in the studio. We were saying before we went on, this seems like we're going back to old school
01:02 Dancing with the Stars. Yeah it really does. It feels nostalgic. Just the tone,
01:06 the warmth, the heart of the show feels like it's back. It really does and I
01:11 think you know not having commercial breaks now that's on Disney+ is a lot of
01:15 fun. It's just like non-stop action and having Alfonso is fantastic as the
01:21 co-host. It just feels great. It really does. So wasn't that much of a
01:25 difference in the transition other than no commercials would you say or what
01:29 would you say has been the biggest change? Well I think just a different
01:33 intention you know coming into the show you know being this season. It just feels
01:39 like just following the stories a little bit more of the celebrities and also
01:43 what I love about the season as well is that you have the heartfelt stories like
01:46 Selma, you know you have Jordan Sparks who is just so charismatic and amazing
01:50 Wayne Brady and yeah yeah Wayne Brady and and then of course Charli D'Amelio
01:59 and her mom. It's just such an eclectic group of people and it just makes for a
02:04 great show you know. It's funny because Selma Blair has stole everybody's hearts
02:08 on this. I cannot get enough of watching her. Tell everybody how she was cast on
02:11 this. Well this is this is what I heard so this is what I heard. I heard so Sasha
02:16 actually had a partner who ended up pulling out and he was gonna be on
02:19 Troop but he's neighbors with Selma and I think he walked over to her house
02:23 knocked on the door and was like hey do you want me my partner on Dancing with
02:26 the Stars? She said yeah. It was just kind of like one of those moments. So you get a lot of
02:30 extra practice in. I do but it's really cool what's amazing is you know just to
02:36 see what she's she's able to do and that's what's so beautiful about dance.
02:39 Dance is really a beautiful way to sort of unlock certain potential within us
02:43 that we didn't know we had and we're seeing that with her. This is
02:46 extraordinary. Is it true that we're getting a Michael Buble night? Yes.
02:49 Michael Buble night. Your idea. It's happening. My man Bubbles the Buble is. I was just talking with him
02:55 right now and working on the track for that night for the coming up but yeah I
03:00 directed his music video earlier this year we become really good friends and I
03:04 just said hey we need to have a Michael Buble night. Are you down? And he's like
03:07 yeah. He's a great guy. So we're having it. He's gonna be guest judging. He's gonna be performing. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
03:12 We're gonna get into trouble though because we're kind of the same person
03:14 and we're just gonna be talking non-stop. I can't wait for that. Your Vegas residency. Incredible. What did you love about it? Is it hard to step away for a minute?
03:25 No. We are we are so excited that we accomplished that. 77 shows as a
03:30 residency in Las Vegas at the Venetian Hotel. Actually you know what I'm gonna be
03:35 streaming it live so people who weren't able to come see the show are gonna be
03:39 able to stream it and watch it but it was it was very I feel very fulfilled and
03:43 we did it. We did it. Well for the last show there we are. There's that jump over
03:48 there. Did you clear those people? Did you land it? Let me tell you. Evel Knievel. That was like was it seven or eight ladies?
03:54 And who volunteered to be the last lady? If you didn't clear that. She was getting one in the dome right there. I'm not gonna lie. What you don't see in that moment is like when I jump I think I jumped
04:03 I'm like this and at the very end I definitely like did one of these moments
04:06 and barely barely clipped her I think I touched her head. And this is live on the show like that's one that you gotta hit that. I love how you connect with your audience. You were always going out after the show to meet
04:19 everybody. Had you planned on that before? I feel like it became a tradition with
04:23 you. Well you know when you go on tour you always go out the stage door and say
04:26 hi to fans and say hi to people and and you know when I did the show before last
04:30 year it was during the Delta variant and Omnicron a lot and we weren't able to
04:35 sort of see anybody in the audience afterwards so this time around I made it
04:38 point to go say hi to everybody and just I appreciate them I really do I never
04:42 take it for granted this beautiful gift I've been given to like be able to
04:46 perform and to share that with others and it's awesome I just I'm so thankful
04:51 for it. Good for you man. I want to share that love with them. There you go I'm sure they really
04:55 appreciate it too and congrats by the way I know you're engaged. Yes!
05:00 No you don't get a ring yet. I don't get a ring yet. I always do that. I'm like wait I don't have one yet.
05:05 Wait is that the engagement photo? Yeah that's in our living room. Is that when she said yes?
05:09 Yeah. Wait that's not your living room. That was my living room. How many roses?
05:16 Talk about the proposal you went next level right there. Yeah. Dang that's a
05:20 production Derek. That was like Game of Thrones. What's going on there? No that's actually just how it is all
05:25 the time. That's a Tuesday. Yeah no I actually took her out on this helicopter ride for
05:29 like eight hours to get her out of the house so they could set everything up
05:31 and we went to Yosemite flew over Yosemite which is a special place for us
05:36 and you can see she's wearing this green jacket and I was like you sure you want
05:41 to wear that today babe? But it was really special. So she walked in in the crib and it was it was like that.
05:46 That was it but it was very very special we're planning the wedding right now
05:49 you know getting everything sorted out where we want to do it. You do a banger?
05:52 Well speaking of Michael Bublé he said he would perform. That's
05:56 Claire right there. Well now you said it on TV so he's got to come through. By the way I've said it
05:59 several times. Okay good. Because he's doing it. You have a montage now you can send to him.
06:03 That's gonna be great. I'm thinking for you guys. It might be a zoom call. How do you plan your first dance? I mean you guys are both dancers like you
06:12 gotta be on Deliver. Like this has to be like the dance of all dances. You know
06:16 it's funny because I originally I was like yay listen we perform we dance it up
06:20 you all perform for us. Yeah. But you know I feel like we gotta do something.
06:25 We gotta do something. So I'm sure we'll bust out a little dance but for the
06:30 most part I expect full performances from all my friends and family and
06:33 Michael Bublé. Reception's gonna be lit. I like it right there. Are you involved in all the planning or are you letting her kind of do all this? I will be involved not
06:42 necessarily like I just I don't know I love the creative aspect of things so
06:46 you know I'll definitely be involved but you know I want her to. As a married man
06:50 let me tell you let her quarterback that team right there. I'm happy with that.
06:54 That's old sage advice. We are so happy for you with everything going on in your life.
06:59 Thank you. Congrats. Listen you can stream new episodes of Dancing with Stars live every Monday on Disney+.
