WATCH: Network TV Makes Room For Something Worth Celebrating: A Growing Family

ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” turned “Dedication Night” into a family affair Tuesday, as “Bachelor” star Tyler Cameron and his fiancée, Tate Madden, announced they were expecting their first child, then celebrated with a live gender reveal.

Cameron and his pro partner, Sharna Burgess, performed an emotional contemporary dance dedicated to “mothers everywhere.”

The pair danced to Ed Sheeran’s “Supermarket Flowers” as an audio recording of Cameron reading a letter to his late mom, Andrea, played.

“You would have loved the woman I’m going to marry,” Cameron said. “All the things that made you special, I found in her.”

Toward the end of the recording, Cameron revealed that he and Madden were expecting. Madden, dressed in a pale pink sparkly ensemble, joined the dance, twirling across the floor and revealing her baby bump.

“She’s going to be the most incredible mama just like you, and we are going to have a baby. I can’t believe I’m going to be a dad.”

Cameron lifted Madden above his head and spun her around with her “belly up to the heavens,” as judge Derek Hough described the move, before ending the dance with his hands on her bump.

Once the applause settled, host Alfonso Ribeiro told the audience the couple had agreed to a live gender reveal on the show. After an enthusiastic countdown, pink confetti filled the ballroom signaling the pair would welcome a baby girl next year.

Madden was in tears and speechless in the moment, but later told Extra that Cameron was going to be the best girl dad.

“The thought of him with her… it could make me cry all over again,” Madden said. “He’s going to be the most amazing girl dad. I know she is going to be so obsessed with him.”

Fans had speculated that Madden was pregnant after noticing she was spending less time online and wearing baggier clothing. Madden acknowledged that the oversized T-shirts weren’t her “usual attire.”

She’s nearly five months along in her pregnancy. The mom-to-be told reporters after the performance that she took a pregnancy test the night she and Cameron got engaged earlier this year. The two announced their engagement in August.

“The night we got back from getting engaged, I took the test,” Madden told US Weekly.

Cameron had to miss the first ultrasound because his “Dancing With the Stars” run was kicking off, and Madden admitted that hiding the pregnancy had gotten difficult over the last month. Still, both said they wouldn’t have changed a thing because they got to share the special moment on “Dedication Night.”

“You helped create such a beautiful moment that we will get to share with our daughter now,” Cameron said to Madden.
