Is Witney Carson Pregnant? All About Her ‘DWTS’ Return

Professional dancer Witney Carson is balancing a growing family with her competitive drive. The two-time Mirrorball trophy winner announced on August 17, 2026, that she and husband Carson McAllister are expecting their third child together.

The couple shared the news on Good Morning America before posting a sweet family video on social media featuring their sons, Leo and Jet. Despite the happy news, Carson admitted that the early stages have been difficult, noting she is currently in "survival mode" due to morning sickness.

A Historic Ballroom Return

Carson is set to make history as the first professional on the show to enter a new season while four months pregnant. Rather than taking a break after her recent win with Robert Irwin, she is embracing the challenge of performing while her body changes.

The dancer expressed her pride in being a working mother, stating on GMA that she doesn't intend to hide her bump. "I am so proud to be a woman, to be creating life and growing this human," she said, adding that she plans to "kick butt" during the competition.

New Partner Revealed

The upcoming season 35 will see Carson paired with a new face. She is set to lead Guillermo Rodriguez, the popular sidekick from Jimmy Kimmel Live, across the dance floor when the show returns in September.

While Rodriguez is the first confirmed celebrity, the rest of the cast will be announced on September 2. Fans are eager to see how the reigning champ handles the physical demands of the show alongside her pregnancy.

Dancing With the Stars kicks off its two-night premiere on September 15 and 16. Viewers can catch the action on ABC and Disney+ as Carson attempts to defend her title as a soon-to-be mother of three.
