The ballroom has never seen a love story quite like theirs — and now Strictly Come Dancing sweethearts Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg are preparing to welcome their first child together. 
The couple, who fell in love after being paired on the hit BBC dance show in 2018, have confirmed they’ve already chosen a name for their unborn baby boy — and fans can’t stop guessing what it might be. 
A “Unique” Name for Their Little Dancer
In a new YouTube video posted on October 27, Joe and Dianne revealed they’ve settled on a “unique” name for their son — one that’s meaningful, but not something you hear every day.
Dianne, 36, chimed in with her signature humour:
“We Couldn’t Be More Excited”
The Strictly pair announced their pregnancy in September with an adorable Instagram post featuring a stick-figure family drawing on a whiteboard — complete with a baby figure and the words “2026” written above it.
The announcement sent fans into overdrive, with hundreds flooding the comments to celebrate the joyful news.
But behind the excitement, Dianne admitted she was nervous to share her pregnancy with her loved ones.
A History-Making Mum-to-Be
Dianne’s pregnancy has also made history on Strictly Come Dancing — she’s the first ever pregnant professional dancer to appear on the show.
She was partnered this season with Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis, who unfortunately had to withdraw after a calf injury earlier this month.
Some fans speculated Dianne might step back due to her pregnancy, but she quickly shut down the rumours on Instagram.
Her fiery response earned praise from fans who called her “a true inspiration” and “the definition of strength.”
From Strictly Partners to Lifelong Soulmates
Joe and Dianne’s romance began on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, where their chemistry both on and off the dancefloor captured the nation’s hearts.
Over the years, they’ve shared glimpses of their life together — from cozy vlogs to red-carpet appearances — and their bond only seems to have grown stronger.
Now, as they prepare to welcome their first child, fans are calling them “the cutest couple in Strictly history.”
Their story — from dancefloor sparks to diaper duty — feels like the perfect Strictly fairytale.
And while the name of their baby boy remains a mystery for now, one thing is certain:
He’s already inherited his parents’ rhythm, heart, and a touch of Strictly sparkle.
“It’s a name no one sees coming,” Joe teased — and the internet can’t wait to find out.
