'Dancing With the Stars' champ Jordan Fisher and wife expecting a baby

"Dancing With the Stars" champion Jordan Fisher is going to be a father.

The actor and his wife, Ellie Fisher, are expecting a baby boy, they announced on Instagram on Tuesday.

This will be the first child for the couple, who married last year.

"and the journey begins…we can’t wait to meet you," both wrote on Instagram, alongside a sweet video of them sharing the news with loved ones.

Fisher, 27, and his wife met in their hometown of Birmingham, Alabama when the "Dear Evan Hansen" star was just 13 years old, he told People in 2019. They were "best friends" growing up, he added, noting that once their relationship turned romantic when they were adults, he immediately knew that they'd end up together.

For Ellie, Fisher's dream of having children was one of the reasons she wanted to marry him.

"His goal in life is to have a family. I’m not an actress or in the entertainment industry in any way, so it was really important for me to find a husband that was grounded and had goals that were the same as mine," she told the magazine. "For us to both agree that family was the most important thing that we get out of life was a big sign for me."
