Carson also posted a video of herself holding the positive pregnancy test, captioning: “We are beyond excited and very grateful.”
Calling pregnancy “the most exciting news of our entire lives,” the dancer told her followers, “We are so excited for this journey and we are so excited that you can follow us.”
This will be the couple’s first child, who married on New Years Day in 2016.
In 2018, Carson discussed his plans to expand his family in a Valentine’s Day vlog with his high school girlfriend, saying he wants “three out of four” children.
“No more than four,” McAllister joked at the time. “As long as we have one of both genders, I will be happy.”

The two also discussed the key to a successful marriage in the video, which documented how they fell in love.
“What is important to me in a good relationship is probably service. That shows true love and also builds the love that’s already there, “said McAllister, who also noted that” putting each other first, definitely. “
Carson added: “And also being able to trust and communicate with each other because we are not perfect at all and there are things that, to build that good relationship, you must always be partners, you must be companions for each other and love and trust each other and communicate how you feel. And making sure your goals align, I think it’s important to us, too: What do we want in this life that’s most important to us? And that is to build a great family with good standards and good beliefs. “
