Cameron, 33, and Madden, also 33, showcased their dance skills during the show’s Dedication Night, performing a contemporary routine to Ed Sheeran’s “Supermarket Flowers.” The emotional tribute was dedicated to mothers everywhere, and during the live broadcast, the couple learned they are expecting a baby girl, a fact that has filled them with excitement and anticipation.
In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, Cameron expressed his enthusiasm about expanding their family, stating, “It’s going to change everything in our lives.” He shared his desire to provide their child with the same loving upbringing that shaped him, saying, “Our parents gave us a great life, and I want us to give this little baby an even greater life.” He highlighted the importance of imparting the best values learned from their families to their child.
Madden recounted the moment they discovered her pregnancy, revealing that it happened shortly after their engagement in August. “The night we got back from getting engaged, I took the [pregnancy] test,” she explained. The surprise result prompted her to share the news with Cameron, who was thrilled upon hearing the news. “You’re not going to believe this,” she said to him, capturing the excitement and joy of the moment.
Since that pivotal evening, life for the couple has been fast-paced. They relocated to Los Angeles to accommodate Cameron’s participation in the current season of ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ Cameron shared that the whirlwind of rehearsals had caused him to miss Madden’s ultrasound appointment. However, she brought the ultrasound picture to him in New York City during a visit, which solidified the reality of their impending parenthood for Cameron. “Seeing that picture was when it really, really was real for me. Like, ‘Oh my God, we’re doing this. We’re having a baby.’ It was just an amazing moment,” he reflected.
The couple had initially kept the pregnancy a secret from all but their closest friends and family. Cameron stated they wanted to make the announcement special during his live performance, believing that Dedication Night would be the perfect opportunity. He explained, “We thought it would be a really amazing way to reveal the baby and celebrate the baby,” recognising the significance of honouring mothers, including his late mother Andrea, who passed away in March 2020. He poignantly noted, “Moms are what make this world go around,” and he expressed his belief that his mother would have adored Madden.
Looking towards the future, Cameron honoured Madden by stating how remarkable a mother he believes she will be. Madden echoed the sentiment, expressing her excitement at witnessing the bond their future child would share with Cameron. “He connects with kids who aren’t even his,” she said, imagining the special relationship they would develop.
The couple first crossed paths in 2022 during the filming of Cameron’s home renovation series, ‘Going Home with Tyler Cameron,’ in which Madden worked as the photographer. They confirmed their relationship publicly in September 2023 with a joyful dance video shared on Instagram. Their engagement was subsequently announced on 15 August, featuring picturesque snapshots from a beach proposal in Florida.
With a baby on the way, Cameron and Madden have decided to embrace a lengthy engagement, opting to avoid the stress typically associated with wedding planning. Madden remarked, “I’ve decided I’m not going to stress myself out, and I’m just going to focus on one thing at a time.” Their immediate focus remains on balancing Cameron’s dancing career while preparing for the arrival of their little one, with plans including baby-proofing their home and creating a nursery.
As they embark on this new chapter of their lives, the couple is enthusiastic about what lies ahead, both in terms of family and Cameron’s journey on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ The impending arrival of their baby promises to bring joyous changes, and they are ready to embrace the adventure together.
