Overview
- In a new People cover story, Hough recounts that after Hayley’s December 2023 craniectomy, her first question to doctors was whether she could have children.
- Doctors reassured her, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Everley Capri, in a planned home birth on December 29, 2025.
- Hayley had about 40% of her skull removed to relieve pressure from a brain bleed and later received a skull implant during her recovery.
- The pair also weathered a serious 2022 car accident and a 2024 miscarriage, experiences they say deepened their bond.
- Hough says they are open to more children and, in a February 4 interview shared by E! News, described fatherhood at 40 as a meaningful new chapter.
