In it for the long haul! Dancing With the Stars pro Witney Carson and her husband Carson McAllister (whose real name is Kevin Carson McAllister) have a love story that began in high school. Fast forward to today, and the couple is excitedly expecting their first child together! This joyful announcement raises the question: who is Witney's longtime love? Let's delve into their heartwarming journey together!
Witney, who is now 26, and Carson, 27, both attended American Fork High School in Utah. Carson, who has made a name for himself as a choreographer and social media influencer, first met Witney when she was younger, but it was during her senior year that he truly noticed her. Their connection blossomed over the years, leading them to build a life together.
After high school, Carson dedicated two years to a Mormon mission trip in Romania, while Witney quickly rose to fame as the second runner-up in season 9 of So You Think You Can Dance, when she was just 18 years old. Following that, she joined the cast of Dancing With the Stars the next year, where she showcased her incredible talent and charm.
Eventually, Witney and Carson found their way back to each other and tied the knot in 2016 at a ceremony held in the Mormon church. Witney's fellow dancers from the competition show, including Brittany Cherry, Jenna Johnson, and Emma Slater, were her bridesmaids, while Lindsay Arnold served as her matron of honor. The couple now enjoys a delightful life filled with travel and dance.
On July 23, they joyfully announced that Witney is pregnant! “Baby McAllister coming Jan 2021!!!!! We can’t even contain our excitement and joy right now,” Witney shared on Instagram. The couple expressed their deep love for their unborn child, eagerly looking forward to this new chapter in their lives.
According to Carson, the secret to their strong marriage is “putting each other first.” He emphasizes the importance of love and service in a relationship, stating, “That shows true love and also builds the love that’s already there.” This wisdom speaks volumes about their commitment to one another.
Despite their long journey since high school, Witney appreciates that Carson is not wrapped up in the Hollywood lifestyle. “Just knowing that I have someone who knows me before all of this started, someone who has always been there for me, through thick and thin, it’s such a comfort,” she reflects. “He totally keeps me grounded.”
As they prepare for their new addition, we can't wait to see what the future holds for this beautiful couple!
