The Dancing with the Stars pro, 26, who is expecting her first child with husband Carson McAllister, has revealed the sex of her baby on the way.

In a video shared to Instagram on Monday, Carson and McAllister learned during a recent "gender reveal" party that they will be welcoming a son.

At the gathering, multiple loved ones twisted handheld confetti cannons, which released blue powder into the sky. After learning the sex, the couple exclaimed their excitement by jumping and clapping.

She also assured that those in attendance had been quarantined together amid the coronavirus pandemic. "Gender reveal is up! We had a few close family members who lived in Utah come be with us. We all have been quarantined together! So we were all safe," she wrote in an Instagram Story post.

Carson previously teased the reveal on Instagram, asking her friends and followers to weigh in.

"Gender reveal coming SOON! Let’s take a poll on what you guys think.. girl or boy?!" she wrote alongside a cuddly photograph of herself and her husband standing outside in front of two balloons — one pink, and the other blue.

"Boy," predicted former DWTS contestant Frankie Muniz, as did many other commenters, including Carson's pal Jana Kramer, who also once competed on the reality show.
