The announcement

Tyler Cameron, a former contestant on The Bachelorette, announced during Tuesday's Dedication Night episode of Dancing With the Stars that his fiancée, Tate Madden, is pregnant. Just Jared reported the news came during and after his contemporary routine with professional partner Sharna Burgess, and that the baby is a girl. ^[2]

TheWrap reported that Madden joined the dance and announced the pregnancy in a voiceover, and that host Alfonso Ribeiro revealed the baby's sex before the scores. The outlets differ on who spoke first; both say the news was shared on air. Just Jared quoted Cameron saying he gets to be a "girl dad." ^{[1] [2]}

The routine was set to "Supermarket Flowers" by Ed Sheeran and dedicated to Cameron's late mother and mothers everywhere, according to Entertainment Now's pre-show list of dedications. TheWrap reported that she died in 2020 from an unexpected brain aneurysm and that Cameron said he believes his mother helped bring Madden into his life. ^{[3] [1]}
