Julianne expressed her excitement about becoming an aunt to the new addition, highlighting the love and creativity that Derek and Hayley bring to their relationship and their upcoming journey into parenthood.
Both Hayley and Derek were glowing as they enjoyed the festivities. Hayley donned a bright yellow Tularosa dress, with her hair styled by Jill Buck and makeup by Afton Williams, both of whom are part of the Dancing with the Stars crew. The guest list included members of the Dancing with the Stars family, such as Sasha Farber, Mark Ballas, BC Jean, and Alfonso Ribeiro’s wife Angela.
The shower was filled with various activities, including an Intentional Baby Succulent Garden, a petting space with kittens from Kitten Rescue LA, and games for the guests to enjoy. Additionally, attendees were able to write heartfelt messages on diapers for the baby and leave personal notes for the expectant mother and baby, which were compiled into a limited edition keepsake book of Grimm’s Fairy Tales by calligrapher Andrea Fowler.
The event was a heartwarming celebration of love and anticipation, with Julianne presenting the special gift to the parents-to-be. The personalised touches, including floral bud vases engraved with guests’ names, added to the overall enchanting atmosphere of the baby shower. Hayley’s mother, Debbie, also joined in the joyous occasion, captured in beautiful photos with custom backdrops.
