Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg have announced the arrival of their first child, a baby boy. The Strictly Come Dancing professional and her partner, YouTuber Joe Sugg, shared the news on social media, revealing their son's full name as Bowden Mark Richard Sugg and a birth date of 16 March 2026.
The couple posted a series of photographs, including one of their newborn sleeping in a blue hat, an image of Joe carrying Bowden towards a hospital lift, and a black-and-white picture of Dianne cradling the baby. The posts have attracted thousands of likes and comments from fans and fellow celebrities.
Among those congratulating the pair was Fleur East, host of Strictly spin-off It Takes Two, who wrote: "Ahhhh he’s here! Congratulations to both of you." Professional dancer Vito Coppola also shared his excitement, saying: "I am so so happy. Crying for joy and happiness. Uncle Vito cannot wait to meet you."
Buswell and Sugg first met when partnered together on Strictly Come Dancing, and later confirmed their romance after the show. They announced they were expecting in September 2025, with a video showing three stick figures painted by the couple, signalling the arrival of their baby in 2026.
Dianne had previously spoken about balancing motherhood with her demanding career, saying she would happily take a break from dancing. She also faced criticism during her pregnancy for continuing to perform, responding to a negative comment by saying: "I can't believe in 2025 things like this are still being said."
