Sam Cusick and Lindsay Arnold will soon have more children than they have hands.
The Dancing With the Stars personality revealed this past Monday, November 24, that she is expecting her and her partner’s third child.
“BABY CUSICK #3 IS ON THE WAY✨✨ We are beyond blessed, grateful, and thrilled🫶🏻,” Arnold, 31, posted to her Instagram. “We already love you so much, baby, and we’re so excited to finally meet you!! 🥹 #pregnancy #babyontheway.”
The professional dancer posted multiple photos of her family which included an ultrasound of baby number three. The couple’s two girls, Sage, age 5, and June, age 2, were pictured holding the ultrasound as well.
Arnold and Cusick — who officially became husband and wife in June of 2015 — previously had daughters Sage in November of 2020 and June in May of 2023.
After a year of being a family of four, Arnold thought that she might be pregnant with baby number three despite the fact that she had an IUD.
“Life update, here’s a fun fact: I took a pregnancy test because I was convinced I was pregnant,” she stated in a TikTok video in August of 2024. She also made sure to mention that she and her husband were “not trying” for another child and had “no reason” to be expecting.
“For three days straight I was feeling incredibly nauseous. My period has also been very irregular,” she explained. “I was sure that I was [pregnant], but I wasn’t. There was a sigh of relief like, ‘OK, thank goodness, I’m not pregnant.’ So there’s that.”
Arnold also noted that many people have been asking her when she and Cusick are planning to have another baby.
“Now that June is old enough, it wouldn’t be crazy if I got pregnant again,” she stated. “However, we are definitely not ready yet.”
Arnold also went into detail regarding the age gap between her first two daughters, stating that the two-and-a-half-year difference was perfect for her, and she didn’t want her kids to be “any closer than that.”
“That would mean that we would maybe start trying at the end of the year, like December or January,” she told her followers. “The only issue is that it took me 11 months to get pregnant with June. So a part of me thinks that we should start trying earlier in case it takes a while. But I also feel like when you do that, you get pregnant on the first try.”
Regardless of when they plan to start trying, Arnold has always known that she wants to expand her family with Cusick.
“I can’t tell you the amount of times that I go to leave the house and have the feeling that I forgot something, and that something is a child,” she said. “Or when I look at family photos and start counting, I’m always a child short. Then I realize that I’m not, and those are all of our kids.”
One year later, Arnold hinted at her readiness to try for baby number three in another TikTok video posted in August of 2025.
“Me to my husband: ‘Maybe we should start trying to get pregnant this month,’” she wrote. “My IUD still in my body: … ”
Arnold used a song by Taylor Swift titled “I Forgot That You Existed” in the video. She lip-synced the lyrics, “I forgot that you existed / And I thought that it would kill me, but it didn’t.”
In the caption, she wrote, “Maybe next year?”
However, the following month, Arnold posted yet another TikTok stating that she and Cusick were “officially trying for baby number three.”
