Influencer Melissa Becraft is expecting!

The professional dancer announced on Friday, April 24, that she's expecting her first baby with her husband, Luis.

The 11 to Midnight performer posted an Instagram video of her dancing to Justin Bieber's "Baby." At the start of the video, she added a collection of screenshots of comments on her previous video, with users guessing Becraft was pregnant based on her song choice for her Thursday, April 23, Instagram video.

As she showed off her dance moves in the official announcement, Luis walked into the frame and joined in for a few moves. He then spun her around and the pair posed together while Luis pulled out the ultrasound images.

"SURPRISE! Been dancing through a pregnancy this year! We are SO excited! 🍼 Baby coming September! (Hoping for a redhead🇧🇷🇺🇸😂)," she captioned the post.

Becraft and her husband tied the knot in September 2017, according to her previous Instagram posts. The high school sweethearts met in Greenville, S.C. Eventually, they had a long-distance relationship while Becraft pursued dance in New York City, and he went to college.

In her celebratory five-year anniversary post, she wrote, "The things we accomplish together are limitless!"
