Guillermo Rodriguez is ready to put his best foot forward on Dancing With the Stars.

And that means signing on to the very intense rehearsal schedule. But as his pro partner Witney Carson revealed, he breathed a sigh of relief when he learned she’s expecting her and husband Carson McAllister’s third baby. 

“I was telling Guillermo,” Witney recalled to E! News following the casting announcement on Sept. 2. “I’m like, ‘I’m a little nervous to tell you, but I am pregnant.’ And he’s like, ‘I actually feel a little relieved because that means we’ll take a lot of breaks for food.’”

She laughed as she added, “I was like, ‘That is true. That’s very true.’”

But while the upcoming weeks will prove challenging, Witney is ready for anything that may come their way. 

“Honestly, it’s a blessing to be able to grow my family and work at the same time,” the 32-year-old added. Like, women are incredible. So, I’m just gonna maybe prove to myself that I can do it. And Guillermo’s been the best.”
