Hough and Erbert have been in quarantine together amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has brought the couple even closer.

‘We have been having date nights, which has been nice. We’re getting ready, we’re going to go out to Club Living Room,’ Hough said. ‘We’re going to Chateau Kitchen and, yeah, we’ve been cooking together, which has been really, really nice and it’s been good.’
Hough and Erbert have been dating since 2015. And ever since the beginning, they two have documented their love on social media.
‘She’s grounded...She’s really, really grounded—just really down to earth, and just [has] a good heart and a beautiful soul,’ Hough toldEntertainment Tonight.

The couple met while on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ when they competed together on the show. In 2014, before her time on the show, Erbert was hired for Derek and Julianne Hough’s Move Live! Tour. That’s how she originally landed the role on DWTS.
Currently, Erbert’s on A Night to Remember tour. She was also a top finalist on season 10 of ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’
Besides dancing, she’s also a gymnast and even competed for Miss Kansas in the 2013 Miss Teen USA pageant, where she took second place.

Since Hough and Erbert started dating, fans have been waiting for them to get engaged.
‘I want to marry once. I want to be with that person that I love dearly. I want to get to know that person. I feel like, if anything, it’s something that I don’t feel like should be rushed into doing at all,’ Hough toldET.
Hough’s sister, Julianne Hough, married Brooks Laich in 2017. Although the couple’s been fighting off divorce rumors in recent months.

Recently, Hough was spotted on a walk with 'Chronicles of Narnia' actor Ben Barnes. Her husband, Laich, is reportedly spending his quarantine in Idaho with his dog.
Naturally, their separation during this time has only fueled rumors of marriage troubles.
A source toldPeople, ‘It seems they are not giving up but also not talking about it. They want to do this their way. They don’t want to discuss their marriage. They have been having problems, but many people do.'
'Maybe it’s just a phase, maybe not. But either way, they are not going to address it publicly right now,’ the source added.
