Tyler Cameron and fiancée Tate Madden briefly put wedding planning “on the back burner” while expecting their first baby, but they already know they want a big family.
“We always say when we get married, we’ll make another one on the honeymoon right after,” Madden, 33, told Us exclusively on Wednesday, November 11, as the couple promoted their partnership with Blue Buffalo’s Love Made Fresh. “I think we’re both on pretty much the same page with that.”
Cameron, also 33, gushed that Madden has “been a champion” throughout her pregnancy so far.
“I’m ready to have another one,” he added, joking that the experience has been “great” for him. “I’m just here supporting her.”
Cameron and Madden announced their engagement in August. Two months later, the couple shared their pregnancy news in front of a live audience in the Dancing With the Stars ballroom with the help of Cameron’s pro partner, Sharna Burgess. During the Dedication Night episode, Madden and Cameron learned they’re having a girl.
Amid their busy schedules, the couple haven’t put too much thought into wedding planning yet.
“We were getting that question when he was in the thick of Dancing With the Stars and … I was, like, hiding the pregnancy,” Madden told Us. “I was like, ‘The wedding is really the last thing that I’m thinking about at the moment.’ But I’m excited now that we’re getting things more organized back home, you know, starting to slowly but surely get everything prepared for the baby. I think in the next couple months, we can start to kind of dabble in the wedding.”
Cameron said his fiancée would love a destination wedding, joking that choosing a difficult location is one way to “weed people out” of the guest list.
The Bachelorette alum said his ideal celebration would include 60 people, and Madden agreed.
“I would love to keep it under 100,” she told Us. “I just want to be able to talk to everyone … and I feel like when you get too many people, it just becomes more overwhelming where you’re spending the whole night making sure that you get to say hi to everyone rather than just enjoying your time with everybody.”
While awaiting their daughter’s arrival, Cameron said he’s falling more in love with Madden each day.
“It is the most beautiful thing. … I am, like, truly infatuated by her,” he gushed. “I think it’s the most amazing thing, and I literally am just, like, [touching her all the time].”
The reality star knew Madden would be cut out for parenting from day one. “When I first met Tate and we started dating, I was like, ‘She is going to be the most incredible mother ever.’ Like, that was never a doubt in my mind,” he said. “I think she just pays so much attention, she cares … I just think she is going to flourish in this part of her life and live her best life doing this.”
Cameron said having a partner like Madden has put him “at ease” about having a baby. “Our little girl gets to look up to what I think is, like, the most incredible standard of what a woman is and what a woman can do,” he added. “And I think she’s going to have the best mother to look up to.”
Madden joked that she’s “had a lot of practice” looking after the couple’s three dogs before revealing how much Cameron has changed throughout her pregnancy.
“It’s really broken down so many walls for him. He’s been so much more emotional and vulnerable,” Madden told Us. “He caters to me in a way that’s just so delicate and sweet, and just making sure that he’s doing everything that he can that I need, that the baby needs. He’s always checking in to make sure if I need anything else. … It’s just been really cute to see a new side of him that even I haven’t gotten to see a lot of.”
Cameron is already embracing his future role as a girl dad, but he also hopes their daughter sees just how much her parents love each other.
“Every guy I’ve talked to that has a daughter, they’re like, ‘This has completely changed the way I look at life, the way I handle myself, everything I do,'” he said. “It’s just something about having that girl that just softens you up … so I’m excited to experience that.”
