“Dancing With the Stars” pro Mark Ballas has a beautiful family, and he recently gave fans a look into their lives when he posted a video on Instagram from their trip to Las Vegas to see AC/DC in concert.
The video was a promotional post that Ballas shared in collaboration with JSX, a private aviation company, and Virgin Hotels. However, the short clip also highlights several sweet family moments as they traveled to their show. This included a photo of his wife, BC Jean, holding their son Banksi Wylde Ballas in her arms, a video of the toddler walking, and Jean and Ballas taking a selfie as a couple. Fans have reacted to the video with praise for Ballas and comments about his family.
The comment section of Ballas’ Instagram post is filled with positive messages and many fans feel that his son was the highlight of the reel. “Awww little banksy is sooo cute and live this video!” one comment reads. “My favorite rockstar family,” another shared.
The reaction from fans indicates this is the type of content that they want to see more of, but will this be something the couple is open to? Ballas previously took a step away from social media after the birth of their son. “We took a break off social media pretty much, like, was just being home and in it with him,” Ballas said on an episode of the “Lightweights” podcast in November 2024. “We really wanted that, you know, cause we had a rough go with the first time that she got pregnant and stuff like that. So when this, when he came, we were just like, oh, like, let’s just be, let’s just be here, you know.”
This break wasn’t permanent, but the couple is careful about what they share.
Ballas has had an incredible career, but he has also found success in his personal life. He and his wife, BC Jean, started dating in 2012 and got engaged and married in 2016. The DWTS fan favorite and his songwriter wife formed the band Alexander Jean in 2015. Their connection is undeniable, and they knew from early on that they wanted to be together.
“We met at a singer-songwriter night at a mutual friend’s house,” Jean told Riff magazine in March 2022. “It was kind of like a fun party night where singers and musicians would get up and perform.”
That night, they both performed and later exchanged numbers. “After we did that, we realized we had great chemistry both on and off the stage,” Jean said. Their relationship has continued to go from strength to strength, and in November 2023, they welcomed their son and announced his birth on Instagram.
Posting a photo of all three of their hands, Ballas announced his son’s name in the caption: “Welcome to Earth, my son Banksi Wylde Ballas 11/5/23. “
