The “Dancing with the Stars” pro, Witney Carson, and Carson McAllister’s love story began in their high school days in Utah. The pair dated as teenagers, weathered a long-distance relationship after graduation, and ultimately tied the knot on January 1, 2016, when they were both 22 years old.
Reflecting on their relationship in a 2018 YouTube video, Carson praised her husband’s upbeat nature: “What I really love about Carson is his positivity and how fun he is. He always makes any situation positive and fun.” McAllister returned the compliment, sharing that his wife’s devotion sets her apart: “She truly does put me first, even over herself. And that is very special to me about her.”
From her start on “So You Think You Can Dance” to winning the Mirrorball trophy as a pro on “Dancing with the Stars,” Carson has had McAllister by her side every step of the way.
Welcoming Their First Son, Leo
The couple became parents in January 2021 when their first son, Kevin Leo, was born. Carson announced her pregnancy during Season 29 of “Dancing with the Stars” in July 2020 and shared that she was overjoyed to step into motherhood.
Since then, she has frequently shared updates about Leo’s milestones on social media, giving fans a glimpse into her life beyond the ballroom.
