Following a "proper" Rumba with his professional dance partner Witney Carson, Alfonso Ribeiro made an exciting announcement on tonight's DANCING WITH THE STARS - he and his wife, Angela Unkrich are expecting their second child!

Revealed the 'Fresh Prince' star following his performance, "My son, it's his first birthday today, so I'm so happy that he's here with me. And as a wonderful present, my wife and I decided to get him a little brother or sister. We're having a baby! I wanted to announce it here on the show because I just wanted to say thank you to all the fans and say I love my wife."

Congratulations to the family!

About Alfonso Ribeiro:

Starting his acting career at the age of eight, Alfonso landed his first starring role in the Broadway musical The Tap Dance Kid, whereupon he was signed to famed music label Island Records. He became an overnight sensation, enamoring the likes of director Bob Geraldi, choreographer Michael Peters and "The King of Pop" Michael Jackson (who enlisted Alfonso in the infamous Pepsi commercial).

After taking time to attend Cal State University, Los Angeles where he earned a Theater Arts education, Alfonso was offered a role in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Alfonso played the memorable character of Carlton Banks, opposite his friend, Will Smith. Following six years on the popular series Fresh Prince, he was then approached by Quincy Jones to appear with L.L.Cool J in the NBC/UPN series In the House. Both can still be seen in syndication.
