The big reveal! Dancing With the Stars pro Lindsay Arnold and her husband, Sam Cusick, have revealed their daughter’s name less than one week after her birth.

She added: “When it was time for her head to come out that’s when we could see that the cord was wrapped around baby girl’s neck (explains why she was breech). It was extremely difficult for them to pull her head out and the cord was compressing around her neck as they pulled. When they finally got her head out they quickly unraveled the cord and it was wrapped around our sweet girl’s neck 6 times. Very scary and shocking moment for everyone in the room. … Our little June came out fighting and we are so proud of her and just so in love
. We are soaking up every moment with our girls.”
The So You Think You Can Dance alum took to social media earlier this month to share that she and her hubby, 30, had welcomed their second child, a baby girl.
“She is here and healthy. Arrived this afternoon. Will share more soon,” Arnold captioned an Instagram Story video with her newborn on Thursday, May 4.

News at the time, adding that she and Cusick had been “trying for a while” to grow their family. “It’s been something that we’ve known we’ve wanted so it was just such a huge blessing. We’re excited to expand our family.”
