So when their anniversary did come around, the two enjoyed a quiet moment to themselves.
“We actually read each other our vows again where we got married on this cliffside in Carmel overlooking the ocean,” the 39-year-old shared. “And it was really emotional because we were reading the vows and thinking like, ‘Wow, we really put these to the test.’”
Because just a few months after they tied the knot—a time period which Derek noted “was really special”—Hayley was rushed to the hospital where she underwent emergency skull surgery.
But now, nine months after her health scare, Derek added of Hayley, “She’s doing great.”
In fact, one of their favorite activities to do together is sit back, binge a series and chow down on some snacks.
“It’s important to sort of just come home and wind down and just enjoy yourself and forget,” Derek added. “So for me, the way I like to do that is snack and stream my favorite show, maybe a murder true crime.”
Except, he added, his wife is the one to bring the snacks—making Pepcid Max a necessity for the pair.
