Lindsay Arnold is pregnant with second baby after sharing fertility struggles
Lindsay Arnold has another baby on the way!
The dancer revealed on Monday that she is pregnant with her and husband Sam Cusick’s second child.
“Baby No. 2 coming May 2023,” she captioned family photos via Instagram.
“We are beyond grateful and feel so blessed to be adding a new addition to our family and Sage cannot wait to be a big sister,” Arnold concluded.
The 28-year-old went on to tell E! News that expanding their family feels “surreal.”
The expectant star said, “It’s just kind of crazy, but we are so, so happy.”
Arnold noted that she and Cusick have been “trying for awhile” to conceive baby No. 2 since welcoming daughter Sage, now 1, in November 2020.
“It’s been something that we’ve known we’ve wanted so it was just such a huge blessing,” Arnold said. “We’re excited to expand our family.”
The couple, who wed in June 2015, experienced a false positive pregnancy test in August, which made the “So You Think You Can Dance” alum “very nervous … going into this next one.”
She recalled, “I was cautiously optimistic, but I also had a really peaceful content feeling about it. I felt like it was right. I felt like it was our time.”
Arnold’s pregnancy news comes on the heels of her decision to not compete as a pro on the 31st season of “Dancing With the Stars.”
The choreographer told her social media followers in August that her focus was on her family instead, explaining, “My daughter is always going to be at the top of my list.
“As many of you know my family and I live in U[tah] ,” Arnold continued at the time. “Logistically there is SO much involved with making this happen and there is a lot of sacrifice that has to be made.”
The athlete clarified on Monday that she “will never say never to” being a pro on the ABC show in the future.
“That door will never be closed,” she said. “They are always going to be family to me, and we’ll see what happens in the future.”
