Tyler Cameron and Tate Madden Reveal Pregnancy on 'DWTS'
Confirmed
In Short: Tyler Cameron and Tate Madden announced their pregnancy and the gender of their first child during a performance on 'Dancing with the Stars' on October 20, 2026.
Bachelor Nation fans were thrilled when Tyler Cameron and his fiancée Tate Madden revealed they are expecting their first child during a performance on 'Dancing with the Stars' on October 20, 2026.
The couple, who have been dating for about two years and got engaged in August, performed a contemporary routine dedicated to mothers everywhere, with Tate joining Tyler and his dance partner Sharna Burgess for the end of their performance.
During the routine, which was set to Ed Sheeran's 'Supermarket Flowers,' the couple surprised the audience and fellow dancers with the announcement.
Tyler, who got emotional during the reveal, said, 'This is incredible. I get to be a girl dad. What a gift. What an amazing opportunity, and I get to be her husband soon and the father of our beautiful baby.'
The couple had no idea if they were having a boy or girl until the live reveal on stage, which made the moment even more special.
Tate shared the ultrasound picture with Tyler in New York City, and he said, 'Seeing that picture was when it really, really was real for me. Like, ‘Oh my God, we’re doing this. We’re having a baby.’ It was just an amazing moment.'
The routine, which earned Tyler and Sharna a score of 32 out of 40, was a tribute to Tyler's late mother, Andrea Cameron, who passed away in February 2020.
Tyler had expressed his desire to dedicate the performance to his mother, saying, 'If I can get Dedication Night, it will be one of the greatest gifts I can ever give my mother and a way to honor her.'
Fans had been speculating about a pregnancy for about a month, and the couple's decision to perform a routine dedicated to mothers only fueled the speculation.
JoJo Fletcher, Justin Glaze, and Cameron's brother Ryan Cameron were among those who congratulated the couple on social media.
The couple also work together on home construction projects and own TINKR, a company that focuses on home renovation and design.
