Despite the possible slip, Hough emphasized that he and Erbert still plan to keep their babyâs gender private. During his September 3 appearance on âLive with Kelly and Mark,â the 39-year-old dancer explained why the couple wants to hold on to a little mystery.
âYeah, you know, thereâs not a lot of surprises in life, right?â Hough told People. âWeâre going to keep that one to ourselves. So yeah, itâs going to be exciting. Canât wait.â

Hough and Erbert, who tied the knot in 2023, announced they were expecting their first child in July.
