Tyler Cameron Announces First Baby With Tate Madden on DWTS

A live television performance turned into a family announcement when Tyler Cameron and his fiancée, Tate Madden, revealed they are expecting their first child on Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday, October 20. The couple shared the news during Dedication Night, where Cameron also paid tribute to his late mother, Andrea Cameron, and disclosed that their baby will be a girl.

According to USA Today, Madden joined Cameron and professional dancer Sharna Burgess for a contemporary routine set to Ed Sheeran's song "Supermarket Flowers." The performance combined Cameron's personal tribute to his mother with the couple's pregnancy announcement, followed by a gender reveal featuring pink confetti.

During the routine, Cameron read a letter addressed to his late mother, connecting her memory with the family he and Madden are preparing to build.

"She's going to be the most incredible mom just like you. And she's going to be a mom," Cameron said in the letter.

After the reveal, Dancing With the Stars co-host Alfonso Ribeiro reacted to the announcement.

"What a way to tell the world you are having a baby," Ribeiro said.

Cameron, 33, also expressed his excitement about becoming a parent while acknowledging his upcoming marriage to Madden, who is also 33, according to USA Today.

"This is incredible. I get to be her husband soon and the father of a beautiful baby," Cameron said.

The announcement followed several days of speculation among viewers who had noticed clues in the couple's social media activity. Yahoo reported that Cameron initially captioned a TikTok video promoting the performance with the words "Can't wait to hit the floor with these 3." He subsequently changed the number to two and explained the original wording as a typo, but the initial caption prompted questions about a possible pregnancy.

Speculation had already surfaced in September, when a commenter on one of Madden's Instagram posts suggested she was pregnant. Discussions intensified after an October 16 Dancing With the Stars social media post showed Cameron placing his hand near Madden's stomach, prompting viewers to wonder whether the couple was preparing to share personal news.

Cameron had also described the upcoming routine as a tribute extending beyond his own family. In a promotional clip shared on October 17, he explained that the performance was intended for mothers who were present in people's lives as well as those they missed.

"It's gonna be a special moment I get to share with you guys, and with my fiancée," Cameron said in the clip, according to Cosmopolitan.

He also described the dedication's broader purpose.

"This is for the moms out there, not just my mom, but for the moms that we love and also the moms that we miss," Cameron said.

Andrea Cameron died in 2020 after suffering a brain aneurysm, according to People, as cited by Yahoo and Cosmopolitan. Cameron had previously discussed wanting to honor his mother during Dedication Night, explaining to The Hollywood Reporter that she would have loved the show and that reaching the tribute performance would be a meaningful gift to her memory.

Madden has supported Cameron throughout his participation in season 35 of Dancing With the Stars. In an interview published October 13, Cameron told The Hollywood Reporter that she had temporarily put her own responsibilities aside to accompany him, help him practice choreography and provide support during the competition.

"Tate has put her whole life on pause to be out here. We have so much stuff going on at home. We have many businesses together. She put all that on pause to just be here and be the greatest support system I could have ever asked for," Cameron said.

He described how Madden helped him prepare between rehearsals and supported him after emotionally demanding performances.

"She gets up with me, helps me work on my steps and stretches me out when I'm sore and beat up. Sharna gives me homework, and Tate and I go work on it. She is there for me every step of the way. When I was super emotional last week after the jive, she ran out of the audience to me," Cameron said.

The couple first met in 2022 while Madden was working as a photographer on the set of Cameron's home renovation show, Going Home with Tyler Cameron. He confirmed their relationship publicly in a September 2024 Amazon Live segment, according to USA Today.

In August 2026, Cameron and Madden announced their engagement in a joint Instagram post featuring their proposal on Florida's Little Palm Island. Their engagement preceded the televised pregnancy announcement, which made their growing family a central moment of Dedication Night.

Burgess also addressed the emotional significance of the performance in a social media message thanking the couple for trusting her with their story. She described the dance as an opportunity to transform difficult emotions and reflected on the continuing influence of Cameron's late mother.

"Dear Tyler and Tate, There's almost so many things to say that I'm lost on which to choose. I'll start with thank you for trusting me, for putting this story, your story, in my hands and being all in. What an honor it is to create for and with the two of you," Burgess wrote, according to Cosmopolitan.

She also explained what she believed the performance could represent emotionally.

"We will share those feelings out loud with our bodies and I just know in my heart she is with you every step of the way, not just tonight but every moment of your life," Burgess wrote.

Burgess added that Cameron's mother's influence remained part of his relationship with Madden.

"A mother's love lasts to her last breath and beyond, it transcends lifetimes and will be with you forever. She is never gone, she is always here in the background, guiding you and lifting you in the ways she can. Just like she guided you to the love of your life in Tate," Burgess wrote.
