Scott Hoying’s family is getting a little bigger!
The Pentatonix singer, 34, and his husband Mark Manio Hoying, also 34, are expecting their first baby together. The couple celebrated the exciting news on Instagram on Tuesday, Oct. 14. In the video, which is set to Sydney Rose’s “Turning Page,” the soon-to-be dads share their initial reaction to hearing the happy news.
“We’re having a baby 🥹🤍” Scott captioned the video.
The couple also revealed the news of their impending addition during the Oct. 14 episode of Dancing with the Stars. Scott, who is competing on season 34 of the hit series, dedicated this week’s dance to his husband. He explained that after dating “mean guys,” when he met Mark, Scott felt like he could “exhale.”
“I want to dedicate it to my husband Mark, because I feel like he’s just changed my life in so many ways,” Scott told Extra TV. “I’m so in love and we just celebrated our two-year wedding anniversary. I’ve written so many songs about him and so I really just wanted to dance to a song and have him there.”
During practice, the couple surprised Scott’s dance partner Rylee Arnold with the news that they’re expecting a baby.
“I’m so excited to raise a family with him,” Scott said. “I just feel like we’re really, really lucky.”
In June, the couple spoke with PEOPLE at the Kids’ Choice Awards, and shared that they had begun the process of having a baby together. “We’re getting closer,” Mark told PEOPLE at the time. “We finally have a surrogate, so we’re closer.”
“And we’re becoming friends,” Scott said of their surrogate. “But then there’s all sorts of stuff that has to happen before the surrogate.”
“But next summer, we’ll have a baby for sure,” Mark added.
Scott went on to explain the process the couple had undergone to welcome a bundle of joy.
“We used an agency. And we wanted to have our surrogate in L.A., because we want to go to every single appointment,” he said at the time. “And so the wait list was a lot longer for L.A. But it was worth it. We found something. She’s amazing.”

Scott and Mark tied the knot in July 2023 in Santa Barbara, Calif., with the musician telling PEOPLE at the time that he knew his husband was the one quickly into their relationship.
“I feel like all of our life experiences and choices, and ups and downs, have led us to each other and this is the moment where the people we love most get to see us truly make the leap,” Scott told PEOPLE. “I knew pretty early on that Mark was my dream man and I genuinely feel like the luckiest man on earth to get to marry him.”
At the time, the couple also shared that they were thinking of starting a family together. Scott said that they would “talk every day about starting a big ol’ family.”
“Getting married to each other means everything. I think we, like so many queer people growing up, wonder if they’ll ever even come out, and if they’ll ever find love, and for some of us, if gay marriage would ever be legal. The fact that all of those obstacles ended up working out in the end is a really beautiful thing and only makes us cherish each other more,” he said.
He continued: “What I love about Mark is that he is the most loving, gentle, genuinely kind ray of sunshine that you’ll ever meet—always! It’s like a superpower. He just loves life, loves people, loves every single part of me. I just know he is going to be the most amazing father in the world to our children.”
