The Arnold Family Continues to Grow
The three older Arnold sisters are all married with children.
In addition to Jensen’s expanding brood, her sister Brynley Arnold, 24, married Donny McGinnis in 2021 and they have a 2-year-old daughter, Quinn. In May 2024, the couple welcomed a son, Rez, per People.
And Lindsay, 30, and her husband Sam Cusick share daughters Sage, 3, and June, 1. Lindsay, who stepped back from “Dancing With the Stars” to focus on her family, recently thought she might be pregnant.
In a TikTok video in late August, the mom of two shared, “As far as life and updates with me, fun fact, I took a pregnancy test yesterday because I thought I was pregnant.”
The pro dancer clarified that she is on birth control and is “not trying” to get pregnant at this time. “I was super nauseous for three days in a row,” she explained. “My period has been so weird and all over the place. I thought I was [pregnant], but I wasn’t. So that was a kind of a little rush of like, ‘OK, OK, not pregnant.’ So there’s that.”
Lindsay shared that with two toddlers in tow, she isn’t “quite ready” for a third child just yet and hopes to space her babies out two-and-a-half years apart. “So that would mean us starting to try maybe [at the] end of the year, like December [or] January,” she said.
