Noah Galloway, 44, Announces He's Going to Be a Grandpa: 'Granddad? Grandpa? Pawpaw?'

Noah Galloway, the former US Army soldier who lost two limbs in Iraq and later became a fan favorite on Dancing With the Stars, just shared some major personal news. The 44-year-old announced on Instagram that his son Colston and daughter-in-law Ariel are expecting a baby. Galloway posted a sunny beach photo holding ultrasound images, and in true Noah fashion, he turned to social media to figure out the most important detail: his new grandparent name.

“I really thought my days of dancing were behind me after Dancing With the Stars. But apparently not because I’m dancing again,”Galloway said in a separate reveal. He’s coming out of dance retirement for a charity fundraiser in Birmingham, Alabama, supporting women and children experiencing homelessness. Interestingly, his former DWTS partner Sharna Burgess is also returning to the ballroom this season, giving fans a little trip down memory lane. Galloway married his wife Amanda in 2021, making this new chapter all the sweeter for the whole family.

From surviving war injuries to dancing on national television to now preparing for grandpa duty, Noah Galloway’s journey has been one for the books. He asked his followers for suggestions, floating names like Granddad, Grandpa, Pawpaw, P-Paw, Pappy, and Grandpappy, and joking the decision could age him instantly.
