Scott Hoying is dancing into a new chapter.
The Pentatonix singer and his husband Mark Manio Hoying revealed during the Oct. 14 episode of Dancing With the Stars that they are expecting their first baby together.
“We have one more piece of news for you: We’re having a baby,” Mark told Scott’s dance partner Rylee Arnold in a pre-performance video package. “Our surrogate is pregnant!”
Scott giddily added, “We’re gonna be dads.”
The couple—who tied the knot in 2023—emphasized their excitement to grow their family.
“We’ve dreamed of this our whole lives,” Mark continued. “Scott’s gonna be the best dad in the whole world.”
While noting it’s “crazy to say out loud” that he is becoming a father, Scott added, “I’m so excited to start a family with him. I just feel like we’re really, really lucky.”
And that same feeling of gratitude is why the a capella singer decided to honor his husband during this week’s Dedication Night by dancing the foxtrot to his own song “Parallel,” which he wrote about the night he fell in love with Mark.
