Lindsay Arnold Expecting Her Third Child with Husband Sam Cusick
Lindsay Arnold and her husband, Sam Cusick, are about to welcome a new addition to their family.
The Dancing With the Stars alum shared the exciting news on Monday, November 24, that she is expecting the couple’s third child.
“BABY CUSICK #3 IS ON THE WAY✨✨ We are beyond blessed, grateful, and excited🫶🏻,” Arnold, 31, posted on Instagram. “We love you so much already, baby, and can’t wait to meet you!! 🥹 #pregnancy #babyontheway.”
The professional dancer also shared heartwarming family photos that included a sonogram of their third baby, along with images of their two daughters, Sage, 5, and June, 2, happily holding the sonogram.
Arnold and Cusick, who married in June 2015, previously welcomed daughters Sage in November 2020 and June in May 2023.
Only a year after becoming a family of four, Arnold suspected she could be expecting again despite having an IUD.
“Fun fact, I took a pregnancy test yesterday because I thought I might be pregnant,” she mentioned in an August 2024 TikTok video, adding that she and Cusick were “not trying” for another child at that time and that there was “no reason” to expect a pregnancy.
“I felt really nauseous for three days straight. My period has been so irregular,” she explained. “I thought I might be [pregnant], but turned out I wasn’t. It was a bit of a relief, honestly, to find out I wasn’t.”
Arnold noted that she’s been frequently asked when she and Cusick plan to welcome another child.
“June is now at the age where it wouldn’t be out of the question for me to get pregnant again,” she said. “But we definitely aren’t ready just yet.”
Arnold added that she prefers the two-and-a-half-year age gap between her daughters, stating that she wouldn’t want kids “any closer together.”
“That could mean we might start trying at the end of the year, around December or January,” she shared. “The tricky part is it took me about 11 months to conceive June. Part of me thinks, ‘Should we start trying soon in case it takes a while?’ But then I also feel like that often leads to getting pregnant on the first try.”
No matter the timeline, Arnold is eager to grow her family with Cusick.
“I can’t count how many times I’m about to leave the house and think, ‘Wait, did we forget someone?’ Or when I look at family photos, I sometimes wonder, ‘Where’s the other child?’ Then I realize, ‘Oh right, that’s all of our kids!’”
A year later, Arnold hinted at her desire for baby No. 3 in a TikTok video from August 2025.
“Me to my husband: ‘Maybe we should start trying to get pregnant this month,’” she wrote at that time. “My IUD still in place: … ”
Arnold included Taylor Swift’s track “I Forgot That You Existed” in the video, lip-syncing to the lyrics, “I forgot that you existed / And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn’t.”
In her caption, she teased, “Maybe next year?”
However, the following month, Arnold confirmed in another TikTok video that she and Cusick were “officially trying for baby No. 3.”
