After their live performance, which included an impressive lift and spin, both Cameron and Madden discussed their experience with E! News. Madden admitted that one particular moment in the routine made her feel anxious. “I was like, ‘Oh yeah, he lifted me over his head,’ ” she recalled. “He mustered up every ounce of strength he had because he knew I’d probably start crying if he couldn’t get me over his head anymore.” Cameron playfully reassured her, saying, “No, you were up there like a feather, baby.”
The couple reflected on how the lift marked a turning point in their performance. Madden shared how she felt a rush of relief after successfully completing the lift, stating, “I was like, ‘Oh my gosh! I didn’t trip, I didn’t fall. We made it through. We got this now.’” However, she explained that as the adrenaline faded after the lift, emotions took over. “That’s when I just kind of lost it a little bit there for a second,” she admitted.
Returning to dance after a 12-year hiatus was a significant moment for Madden, especially now that she and Cameron are preparing for their future family. “To be able to come back to it in this way, with this dance, means everything to me,” she said. She also expressed how meaningful it was to pay tribute to Cameron’s late mother through their performance. “I get to marry and have kids with the most wonderful man that I’ve ever met, and that’s because of how his mom raised him,” Madden added.
During the live reveal of their baby news, Cameron expressed his excitement about the prospect of becoming a father. “I get to be a girl dad. What a gift, what an opportunity,” he said, beaming with pride and joy. This moment was more than just an announcement; it symbolised the couple’s commitment to each other and their future as parents.
When speaking to PEOPLE, both Cameron and Madden shared their enthusiasm about expanding their family. “It’s going to change everything in our lives,” Cameron noted. He acknowledged the valuable lessons learned from their own parents and expressed his desire to pass on those principles to their new arrival. “Our parents gave us a great life, and I want us to give this little baby an even greater life,” he stated thoughtfully.
Cameron went on to emphasise the importance of parenthood in his life. “Being a parent is the most important job in the world,” he declared, highlighting the responsibility and joy that comes with nurturing a child.
