STRICTLY STARS REVEAL BABY NAME – You Won't BELIEVE It!

STRICTLY STARS REVEAL BABY NAME – You Won't BELIEVE It!

Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell are navigating the delightful mystery of impending parenthood, and one thing they’re determined to keep under wraps – for now – is their baby’s name. The couple, whose love story blossomed on the dance floor, are playfully guarding their secret, adding to the anticipation.

Joe hinted at the name’s uniqueness, describing it as a surname for some, yet possessing a charming quality that lends itself to nicknames. He confessed it’s a name he’s intentionally avoided saying aloud, a challenge given Dianne’s fondness for already using it.

Dianne playfully chimed in, drawing a parallel between the name and Joe himself – “cute when you’re little, you can call yourself Joseph when you’re older.” Joe also mused on its potential for a future athlete, a testament to the hopes they already hold for their son.

The couple jokingly decided to temporarily refer to their son as “Derek” to avoid accidental reveals. They acknowledge the risk of slipping up before their due date, a date they’ve also chosen to keep private, adding another layer of intrigue to their journey.

The excitement of sharing their news with family was particularly poignant for Dianne, who admitted to feeling incredibly nervous when telling her parents. It was, she confessed, the most anxious she’d ever been, a testament to the weight and joy of the moment.

Recently, Dianne addressed swirling “conspiracy theories” surrounding the withdrawal of her partner, Stefan Dennis, from a dance competition due to injury. She passionately defended Stefan, dismissing claims of a coordinated exit related to her pregnancy.

Responding directly to a fan’s speculation, Dianne vehemently refuted the idea that her continued participation was ever in question. She emphasized her energy and desire to continue dancing, highlighting Stefan’s genuine disappointment at being sidelined by his injury.

Dianne’s strong statement was a clear message: respect Stefan’s situation and cease the unfounded assumptions. She and Stefan, she insisted, would have continued if circumstances allowed, underscoring their dedication and passion for the competition.
