In the social media upload, the then-expectant star told her husband to put a jacket on with a positive pregnancy test in the pocket. The dancer immediately began crying before hugging Woods.

Fisher called the nutritionist his “queen” in the May post, gushing, “I’m the luckiest.”

The new parents were longtime friends before they began dating in 2017. The Broadway star proposed to Woods two years later at her family’s beach home in Alabama.

“We’ve been best friends for over a decade before we started dating, and so there was a pretty easy transition into going into dating, and then it didn’t take any time at all for me to know she was my person,” Fisher told Us Weekly in 2019. “Ellie’s amazing.”

The former “Dancing With the Stars: Junior” host went on to describe why she’s “the perfect partner” for him.

“We grew up in a theater conservatory together, so she knows and respects and loves art and loves what I do and has been part of my career and my journey since the beginning,” Fisher said at the time. “We’re in each other’s corner and we’re here for each other.”
