The happy couple shared the joyous news with a precious photo of the three of them holding hands -- and what an impressive grip on baby! -- that they both shared to their Instagram pages on Wednesday.

But what they shared was enough for an incredible outpouring of congratulations and support from their "DWTS" family and the celebrity world at large -- many of whom have participated on the Disney+ series.
Val's brother, fellow "DWTS" pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, was among the first to respond, reacting with four heart emojis. Witney Carson, who is currently expecting, clearly couldn't contain her excitement, commenting, "AHHHHHH!!!!!!!," echoed by Sharna Burgess' "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Congratulations both of you ♥️♥️♥️," while Peta Murgatroyd offered a more subdued, "He’s here ❤️."
Current "DWTS" judge Derek Hough commented, "Wowza !!!!! This is perfect! So happy for you all. A new beautiful family begins," while his fiancee Hayley Erbert kept the digital screams going, writing, "AHHHHHHH! I cannot wait to love on him 💙💙."

With Lindsay Arnold, Witney Carson and Danielle Karagach all three currently expecting children as well, it looks like the "Dancing with the Stars" family is going to continue to grow -- so these pros better be ready for at least three more rounds of this excitement in the coming year!
It remains to be seen which of these women (if any) will return for the upcoming 32nd season. It's also unclear if the show will continue with its more recent once-a-year format (since 2017), returning in September, or if a spring cycle could be coming in just a few months.
Something tells us that could play a small factor as to who may or may not be ready or able to compete!
