Yes, Tyler Cameron and his fiancée, Tate Madden, are expecting their first child, a girl, and they announced it on “Dancing With the Stars” on Tuesday night. The reveal came at the end of a Dedication Night routine with pro partner Sharna Burgess, per Page Six and Us Weekly. The couple got engaged in August.
Quick answer: Madden joined Cameron and Burgess on the ballroom floor for a contemporary dance to Ed Sheeran’s “Supermarket Flowers,” dedicated to mothers. Cameron cradled her baby bump, and pink confetti fell when the couple learned the baby is a girl. The judges gave the routine 32 out of 40, per Us Weekly. No due date has been reported.
- Confirmed on air (reported by Page Six, Us Weekly, Cosmopolitan): a first baby, a girl, announced on “DWTS” on October 20, 2026.
- Reported (Us Weekly): a voiceover in which Cameron speaks to his late mother, Andrea: “She’s gonna be the most incredible mama, just like you. And we’re gonna have a baby.”
- Reported (Us Weekly): the score was 32 out of 40.
- Not reported: a due date, a baby name, or the wedding date. None of the four outlets we read gives one.
Updated: October 21, 2026, 3:55 a.m. ET. What changed: first published after the Tuesday night broadcast. Facts last verified October 21, 2026, 3:55 a.m. ET against Page Six, Us Weekly, Cosmopolitan and TV Insider.
How did Tyler Cameron announce the pregnancy on DWTS?
He did it on the dance floor. For Dedication Night, Cameron’s routine honored mothers, and Madden joined him and Burgess for it. Cameron’s voiceover told his late mother he wished she were there. At the end, Madden revealed the pregnancy, and the couple then learned they are having a girl as pink confetti dropped, per Us Weekly and Page Six. Cameron said, “This is a huge night that we’ll celebrate forever,” per Us Weekly.
It did not come out of nowhere. In a promo clip shared October 17, Cameron said the dance was “for the moms out there, not just my mom, but for the moms that we love and also the moms that we miss,” per Cosmopolitan. Fans noticed he touched Madden’s stomach in that clip, and speculation grew. Burgess also wrote a long Instagram note thanking “Tyler and Tate.” Fan speculation was just that until the broadcast.
Who is Tate Madden?
TV Insider calls her a model and influencer. Us Weekly and TV Insider both report she turned 33 this August. Cameron, 33, wrote on her birthday that she is the “greatest multiplier” of his life, per Us Weekly.
When did Tyler Cameron and Tate Madden get engaged?
Cameron proposed in August on a beach at Little Palm Island in the Florida Keys, per Us Weekly and TV Insider. TV Insider dates his Instagram post to August 15 of this year, with the caption “Better late than never they say.” Page Six’s timeline is less clear about the year, so we rely on the two outlets that give a date.
How long have they been together? Sources disagree
This is where the coverage splits. TV Insider says they met in 2022 while Cameron filmed “Going Home with Tyler Cameron,” had a first date in 2023, and went public in 2024. Page Six says they began dating in 2024 and went Instagram-official in October 2024. Both agree on the public debut in 2024. We would treat “dating since 2022” as unconfirmed.
Why does his late mother matter to this story?
Cameron’s mother, Andrea, died in 2020 after a brain aneurysm, per Us Weekly and Cosmopolitan. The routine was framed as a tribute to her and to all mothers. Burgess’s note called it a dance meant “to heal something,” per Cosmopolitan.
What do other articles skip?
Most lead with the confetti moment. Fewer say plainly that no due date or name has been given, and almost none note that the outlets differ on when the couple’s relationship began. This post states both.
What this means for fans
- Cameron is still in the competition. New episodes air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, and stream on Hulu the next day, per Page Six.
- Expect more baby news from the couple’s own Instagram accounts before any outlet confirms details.
- Ignore posts that give a due date or a name. None is confirmed.

Timeline
- 2020: Cameron’s mother, Andrea, dies, per Us Weekly.
- 2022 to 2023: Cameron and Madden meet and have a first date, per TV Insider (Page Six dates the start of dating to 2024).

Analysis: the reveal fits the show’s Dedication Night format, which asks contestants to honor someone, and Cameron had already tied his dance to a loss. That made the pregnancy a continuation of a story about his mother, not a separate surprise. That is our reading, not a reported fact.
