Fans of Dancing with the Stars have one big question this fall: when is Witney Carson’s baby due? The two-time Mirrorball champion is expecting her third child while dancing on Season 35, and the news has sparked plenty of curiosity. Here is everything confirmed so far, including what we know (and don’t know) about her due date.
Is Witney Carson Pregnant?
Yes. Witney Carson announced on August 17, 2026 that she and husband Carson McAllister are expecting their third child. She shared the news on Instagram with a family video and confirmed it the same morning on Good Morning America.
In the caption, she said the couple had been keeping a secret and that a new addition to the McAllister family was on the way. She also told People that she can’t wait to become a family of five.
Witney Carson Due Date: What We Know
No official due date has been announced. Carson did not share one in her August announcement, and none of the major outlets covering the story have reported an exact date since.
Here is what the public timeline suggests:
- When she announced, Carson was roughly four months along, according to reporting around the Season 35 cast news.
- On October 4, 2026, she posted that she had reached 20 weeks.
- A standard 40-week pregnancy counted from that update points to around late February 2027.
Keep in mind this is an estimate based on her own milestone post, not a date confirmed by Carson or her team. Babies rarely arrive exactly on schedule, so the real arrival could come earlier or later. We will update this article if she shares an official date.
Baby No. 3 Is a Boy
Carson revealed the baby’s sex on September 21, 2026. In an Instagram video, the couple stood on a dock with their backs to the camera while their sons picked up pink or blue flowers. Leo handed over the blue bouquet, and Jet briefly grabbed the pink one, which caused a funny moment, before the caption confirmed another boy.
She later said there is no disappointment about having a third son, adding that she feels blessed to be raising boys.
Witney Carson’s Family: Husband and Sons
Carson and McAllister are high school sweethearts who married on January 1, 2016. They are already parents to two boys:
- Leo (full name Kevin Leo), born in January 2021, now 5
- Jet, born in May 2023, now 3
Baby No. 3 will make the family a party of five.
Dancing While Pregnant on DWTS Season 35
Carson returned for Season 35 as the reigning pro champion after winning Season 34 with Robert Irwin. This season she is paired with Guillermo Rodriguez, the Jimmy Kimmel Live! sidekick. The season premiered September 15, 2026, and is scheduled to wrap on November 24, 2026.
By the finale, she would be about 27 weeks along if her October timeline holds.
Carson has called the situation uncharted territory, saying she has never been this far along while competing and isn’t sure it has ever been done on the show. She has said her plan is to keep competing as long as the baby and her own health stay on track.
She also addressed fan worries about the intense rehearsal schedule. According to reports, she says she is following her doctor’s guidance, listening to her body and being careful, and that Rodriguez has been supportive by encouraging her to rest and bringing food to rehearsals.
This is not her first time dancing with a bump. In Season 31, she competed with Wayne Brady while pregnant with Jet, and the pair finished third.
What Happens Next?
With no official due date, the key things to watch are:
- An official due date or a bump update on Carson’s Instagram
- How far she and Rodriguez go in the competition as the season continues toward the November finale
- Any change in her rehearsal or performance plans, which she has said depend on her health and the baby’s
