“Sage Jill Cusick 💕💕 7 lbs 10 oz 19 inches tall • • • • • Our perfect little angel was born 8 days early on November 2nd, 2020 at 6:07 am,” Lindsay wrote on Instagram.
“I woke up to my water breaking around 3:30 am at home in bed and contractions started immediately after,” she continued. “Sam and I grabbed everything and headed straight to hospital. Baby girl was still breech and I was progressing very fast so we prepped right away for C-section delivery.”
“We could not be more in love with her and feel blessed beyond words to be her parents,” Lindsay added. “She entered this world on the same day that we lost Sams beautiful mother just one year ago and we couldn’t help but see God’s hand in this and know that Sage was handed down to us by her beautiful angel grandmother, Jennifer Jill Gillette Cusick. Thank you all so much for the love and support you have sent our way ❤️❤️”
“The most beautiful surprise on this very special day 💕💕 Baby Girl and mama are healthy and well 💕 more details to come but wanted to share this first pic of our little family 💕 #birth #mama #babygirl #csection #pregnancy #39weeks,” she captioned a family photo on Instagram.

Lindsay got tons of congratulatory messages in the comments from her fellow DWTS dancers.
“We were convinced it was a boy,” Lindsay told People. “I was already looking at boy nursery ideas and boy names. We were both extremely shocked, but so happy. Our whole family was just as shocked.”
The couple revealed the news to People that they’re having a little girl!!!
“We were convinced it was a boy,” Lindsay told the site. “I was already looking at boy nursery ideas and boy names. We were both extremely shocked, but so happy. Our whole family was just as shocked. We all didn’t think this was going to happen!”
“I would’ve been truly happy no matter if it were a boy or a girl,” she added. “But knowing it’s a girl, I’m so excited to help her through life and hopefully pack on things that I’ve learned throughout the years being a woman and growing up as a girl.”
The day before the reveal, Lindsay teased on Instagram that they just found out the news.
“Seconds after finding out the gender of our BABY 😭😭😭😍😍😍😍 we are sooo excited!! Going to be doing our gender reveal tomorrow! But first, we wanted to hear all of your predictions!

Ally Brooke arrives at the dance studio in super short shorts for rehearsal on Tuesday afternoon (November 19).
The 26-year-old singer met up with partner Sasha Farber and his wife, Emma Slater, after running into and giving Lindsay Arnold a hug about her return to the studios.
Speaking with US Weekly, Ally opened up about having a new purpose for the finals following the shocking elimination of James Van Der Beek earlier in the week.
“I am so focused. I have more of a sense of purpose with everything that happened in the past 24 hours. So I’m taking in every moment. I’m grateful,” Ally says. “I’m going to definitely push myself and I’m going to soak in the days and the fact that I’m here because it’s not easy to get to the finale and the fact that I made it is really, really incredible.”
Speaking of the finals, she also spoke and her and Sasha‘s freestyle.
“I’m very excited. It’s one of my favorite songs and it’s definitely going to be a strong moment, a strong way to exit,” she shared. “My biggest hope is that with the freestyle, people see me and that they love this freestyle and they connect to me and I hope that this is a dance that will get me to win. But if not, at least I’m gonna put my entire soul into this dance.”
Peta Murgatroyd is back in the ballroom after a little break and the show will also introduce two new pros – Daniella Karagach and Pasha Pashkov. Stay tuned to JJJ to meet them both!
