Things got emotional when the Backstreet Boy revealed his wife is 16 weeks pregnant and that they had previously suffered a miscarriage.
On Monday's Dancing With the Stars, Nick Carter got emotional when he revealed that he and his wife are expecting a baby -- and then learned the sex of their baby on live TV!
The heartwarming news was officially announced during the star's pre-taped package before his dance with his pro partner Sharna Burgess. During the emotional segment, Carter revealed that his wife, Lauren, is 16 weeks pregnant, and details the long road that they've been on while trying to have a baby.

It was Icon Week on DWTS, which meant each contestant dedicated their dance to the person who has made the biggest impact in their lives. For Carter, that meant performing a dance that honored his wife.
"There's so many influential people in my life, from teachers to the guys in my group. But when I thought about it, my wife Lauren is my biggest idol and icon that I can think of," Nick shared with Sharna during rehearsal. "Lauren is the woman that I dreamed of. She's my savior in a lot of ways."
According to Carter, the couple has been trying to have a baby for over a year, but the journey hasn't been easy.

"It's been rocky, to be quite honest with you," Carter admitted. "There have been times when we thought it wouldn't happen."
The Backstreet Boy and his wife revealed that they had actually gotten pregnant before, but they lost the baby.
"It was really hard on Nick," Lauren shared, fighting back tears. "Just watching him get so excited about something, and then see him so hurt. That was hard."
