    Bobby Bones is to be a father for the first time

    The 45-year-old DJ took to Instagram on Wednesday (24.09.25) to share a mirror selfie in which he hugged wife Caitlin Parker, whose small bump was on display in a cropped top and jeans.


    He also shared a photo of them walking hand in hand through a field, and captioned the post with baby and red heart emojis.

    Caitlin, 33, reposted the picture son her own Instagram Story and wrote: "Parents."

    Among those offering congratulations to the Dancing With the Stars 2018 winner and his wife were his dance partner from the contest, Sharna Burgess.

    She wrote in the comments: "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! B, huge congratulations to both of you. [red heart emojis.(sic)"

    Fellow DWTS professional Sasha Farber wrote: "Yesssss (sic)"

    Country music star Russell Dickerson also offered his congratulations.

    He commented: "YOOOOOOOO!!!!! CONGRATS ZADDDDDD!!!!!!!! (sic)".

    Jelly Roll added: "Man this is absolutely awesome - brother - you are going to be an incredible father . Welcome to the Goood Dad Gang (sic)"

    Bobby and Caitlin met during a recording of Dancing With the Stars in 2019, when the Bobbycast host was visiting country star Lauren Alaina and she was with a friend who worked in public relations.

    However, their wasn't an immediate spark between them.

    Bobby told PeopleNow in April 2020: "We didn't really hit it off the first time we met. We were just like 'Hi, what's up?' and then we started talking on Instagram like a month later."

    The couple went on to marry at their Nashville home in July 2021 and couldn't be happier together.

    Caitlin previously told People of her relationship with the radio star: "When I'm with him, there's such a strong sense of peace about us no matter what it is we're going through that day. I just know he's the one for me."

    Last year, Bobby candidly admitted he "can't dance", despite winning the Latin and ballroom contest and praised his fans for helping him claim victory.

    He said in an Instagram video: "I was the worst dancer. I take pride in that.

    "Now, I tried as hard as anybody in the history of the show, but I can't dance now, couldn't dance then.

    "But you know who took down the big evil empire of dance? Well, it's not evil or an empire, but me and you! We did it together.

    "I'm the greatest champion ever. I didn't say I was the greatest dancer, but the greatest champion ever.

    "I'm the man of the people. I'm the man that you guys selected."

    Bobby also noted that his success actually prompted the show to change its rules.

    He reflected: "I'm a terrible dancer, I was a terrible dancer but they changed the rules after I left because the fan vote was so good."
