Hayley Erbert Opens Up About Not Being Part of 'DWTS' Season 28

Hayley Erbert cozies up to longtime love Derek Hough at the premiere of Angel Has Fallen held at Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles earlier last week.

The two hit the red carpet together just before it was revealed that Hayley would not be returning to Dancing With The Stars in the new season, as the troupe was cut from the show.

In a new Instagram post, Hayley opened up about her future beyond the show and giving thanks to it for helping her in her career.

“”As some of you may already know, I unfortunately will not be apart of DWTS this season. The past 3.5 years have been the most incredible journey for me. To have been apart of this show for 7 seasons, 4 tours, and a mentor on DWTS Juniors is beyond anything I could have imagined,” she wrote. “Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years, I adore you all and would not be where I am without your love.”

Hayley added, “I want to wish everyone in my dancing fam the best of luck this season! They all will kill it as usual! As sad as I am to not be apart of this season, life has decided to guide me in a different direction and I am excited to see where it will take me. Much love ♥️.”
