Tyler Cameron and fiancée Tate Madden announced on Dancing With the Stars that they are expecting their first child, a baby girl.

Tyler Cameron and his fiancée, Tate Madden, turned an emotional Dancing With the Stars routine into a personal announcement: they are expecting their first child, a baby girl.

The news arrived during the show’s Dedication Night on October 20. Cameron performed a contemporary dance with professional partner Sharna Burgess to Ed Sheeran’s “Supermarket Flowers,” using the number to honor his late mother, Andrea Cameron, and mothers more broadly. Madden joined the performance before the couple’s pregnancy was revealed to viewers.

A tribute became a family announcement

Cameron framed the dance around the grief of losing his mother, who died in 2020 after a brain aneurysm. In a recorded message used during the routine, he reflected on the woman he plans to marry and the family they are building. The staging connected that memory to Madden’s appearance on the ballroom floor, making the announcement part of the tribute rather than a separate segment.

After the dance, host Alfonso Ribeiro disclosed that the couple is expecting a daughter. Pink confetti completed the reveal, and Cameron celebrated the prospect of becoming a father to a girl. The televised announcement provided direct confirmation after Madden’s pregnancy had not previously been presented as public news.

Dedication Night changed the competition’s pace

The episode featured 10 remaining couples performing for people and places that shaped their lives, with former pro Kym Johnson joining the judging panel. Cameron’s number was one of several family-centered performances in a night designed to foreground the contestants’ personal histories.

No couple was eliminated at the end of the episode. Instead, the competition carried all remaining pairs forward, with a double elimination announced for the following week. That twist gave Cameron and Madden’s reveal room to stand as one of the broadcast’s defining moments without being immediately followed by an exit.

For Cameron, who first became widely known through The Bachelorette, the ballroom milestone also marked a new chapter away from competition: he and Madden are preparing to become parents while he continues his run on the show.
