‘Although we are so excited to be welcoming our rainbow baby so soon, we honor our baby that never made it earthside,’ they revealed in October.Â
The term ‘rainbow baby’ refers to a child who is born to a woman who previously suffered a miscarriage.
It marks a bright new chapter for the pair, after Erbert underwent an emergency medical procedure for cranial hematoma in December 2023.
Erbert was rushed to the hospital after suffering a cranial hematoma in December 2023 while they were performing at their Symphony of Dance tour in Washington D.C. and subsequently underwent an emergency craniectomy.
A cranial hematoma happens when blood accumulates, ‘within the brain or between the brain and the skull,’ according to Mayo Clinic.
Weeks later the Step Into… The Movies dancer underwent a cranioplasty to replace a large portion of her skull, which had been removed during the emergency procedure.
Erbert’s recovery was so successful, the couple were able to complete their 70 city Symphony of Dance tour, which ended May 19, 2024.
Since her surgery, the couple went on to celebrate their first wedding anniversary on August 26, 2024.
