Lindsay Arnold and Sam Cusick Welcome Baby Boy

The birth increases their family to five and makes it likely Arnold will pause Dancing With the Stars duties this season to focus on home life.

Overview

  • Arnold announced on social media that she and husband Sam Cusick welcomed a son on Thursday, June 11, 2026, and said the couple had not yet shared his name.
  • She posted that she went into labor the night of Wednesday, June 10, and confirmed the baby was delivered by cesarean section while sharing hospital photos with her husband.
  • The new son joins daughters Sage and June, and Arnold has publicly documented the pregnancy since announcing it in November 2025 and revealing the baby’s sex in December 2025.
  • Multiple outlet reports say Arnold is expected to sit out Dancing With the Stars this year because of the newborn, and her sister Rylee Arnold is reported to be likely to join the season 35 pro lineup.
  • Arnold stepped away from DWTS in August 2022 to prioritize family, the couple say they are likely done expanding their family, and viewers should watch for official casting news ahead of the show’s fall season.
