Witney Carson Opens Up About Her Second Pregnancy
Witney Carson first broke the news that she was pregnant with her second child on an episode of the ABC reality dance competition show last season after she completed a dance with her partner, Wayne Brady. "I'm so excited to finally announce that Carson, Leo, and myself are expecting baby number two!" she said. "I'm so blesse; thiss felt like a perfect time to share it. And I can finally share it, which is great."
After the season finale of "Dancing With the Stars," Wayne Brady and Witney Carson went onto "Good Morning America" to discuss this past season of the reality competition show. While there, Carson opened up about her second pregnancy and what it was like to hide it from everyone on the show.
"[Wayne] is nice, and I could always just lean on him for anything," Carson told "Good Morning America." "He was one of the first people to know I was pregnant, so he looked out for me," she continued. "He's like a big brother."
The 29-year-old revealed how hard it was to keep her pregnancy a secret because she had been sick with this pregnancy. "It was tough to keep it from people around me a lot because I was sick, so I would have to go and throw up here and there," Carson explained.
"So Wayne was one of the first people to know, and I think just beside nausea, just trying to hide the bump, it's my second kid, so my showing a lot more," she concluded.
Congratulations to the beautiful Carson family on their newest addition!
