Vanna White gifted Derek Hough something extra special for his baby on the way.

In a clip shared on Instagram from the Wheel of Fortune host’s appearance on Extra‘s set with Hough, the entertainment show’s newly-announced host, White gave a handmade yellow crocheted blanket to the Dancing with the Stars judge, 40, for his baby on the way.

“When you came to the show we taped your version, which is airing this Friday, I said I was gonna make you a baby blanket, so here you go,” White, 68, told Hough, who looked surprised by the kind gesture.

The expectant dad was shocked as he took the gift bag from White. “Are you kidding me right now?” he said. “You did not make this.”

“Yes, I did,” White responded. “There’s a tag to prove it.”

After examining the tag on the yellow blanket that read “Crocheted for you by Vanna White,” Hough looked up at the Wheel of Fortune host with tears in his eyes. He said, “I can’t wait to show this to my wife, and I can’t wait to swaddle — I’m gonna get emotional. I can’t wait.”

In response, White encouraged him to enjoy every moment of parenting because “they grow up fast.”

The Dancing with the Stars judge is currently expecting his first baby with his wife Hayley Erbert Hough. Hough and his wife, 30, announced they’re expecting their first baby together in July, sharing the exciting news with a sweet video on Instagram.

In the heartwarming clip, Hough walked over to his wife and the two embraced while overlooking a scenic view. As they hugged, Erbert Hough flashed a strip of sonogram photos at the camera as the couple smiled and swayed in the sunlight.

“We can’t believe the biggest thing to happen to us could be so small ♥️,” the couple captioned their joint video post.

During a recent episode of the Jennifer Hudson Show, he opened up about his excitement for fatherhood. While chatting with daytime host Jennifer Hudson, Hough revealed that he sometimes forgets about the big milestone and is reminded of his excitement all over again.

“Sometimes I like I forget, right? I’m doing things, and I just glance over there and I see her bump, [and] I’m like, ‘Whoa.’ I’m like, ‘I’m gonna be a dad,’ ” he told Hudson, 44. “And, I cannot wait. I cannot wait.”

The soon-to-be dad went on to talk about the first time he felt the baby kick, adding that he gets “emotional just thinking about it.”

“I felt the baby kick for the first time, and it was that feeling that everybody talks about and describes, where all of a sudden everything became vivid and different,” he explained. “And I’m like, ‘Whoa, I’m going to be something that I’ve never [been.] I’m going to feel something I’ve never experienced before yet.’ And, I just can’t wait. I can’t wait.”

The premiere episode of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune featuring Hough airs Friday, Sept. 26, on ABC at 8 p.m. ET.

Last night wasn’t about spectacle. It wasn’t about headlines. It was something far quieter — and far more powerful. When James McCartney stepped onto the stage and began Wish You Were Here, it wasn’t a performance aimed at the crowd. It was for one person listening closely: his father, Paul McCartney. In that moment, titles dissolved. There was no Beatle, no icon, no legacy towering over the room — just a father hearing his son speak in the language that has always bound them together. The arena fell into stillness, a silence heavier than applause, carrying gratitude, love, and unspoken history. This wasn’t a tribute designed for effect. It wasn’t just a cover. It was something unmanufactured — a bond shaped by music, offered honestly, without armor. Some moments can’t be staged. They can only be witnessed. 🎥 Watch the full video and feel the moment unfold in the first comment below
