Summary
- Witney Carson is competing in her 16th DWTS season while pregnant.
- She aims to be the first pro to compete this far along in pregnancy.
- Carson reflects on her Mormon faith and family life.
Witney Carson, a seasoned professional dancer on Dancing with the Stars, is preparing for her 16th season, remarkable for being in her second trimester of pregnancy. This will make her the first pro dancer to compete so far along in a pregnancy. Carson, known for her petite stature, embraces the nickname "mini-human" despite her powerful presence on the dance floor.
She and her husband, Carson McAllister, are navigating a busy family life with their sons Leo and Jet, frequently moving between Florida, Los Angeles, and Utah. Carson credits her supportive parents and her deep Mormon faith for grounding her, emphasizing teamwork within her family as they anticipate their third child, for whom she hopes for a baby girl.
Carson's journey began at age three in Utah, leading to early success on So You Think You Can Dance and subsequently on DWTS, where she won her first Mirrorball Trophy at 19. She recently explored co-hosting opportunities and expressed interest in reality television, like The Traitors, while acknowledging the entertainment value of shows such as The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.
The new season of Dancing with the Stars premieres on Tuesday, September 15, and Wednesday, September 16, on ABC and Disney+, with episodes available on Hulu the following day.
