Peta Murgatroyd and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, the famous “Dancing With the Stars” pros, recently announced the arrival of their third child, a baby boy. The couple shared an adorable selfie from the hospital on Instagram, showing Chmerkovskiy grinning proudly while Murgatroyd cradled their newborn with love. They expressed their joy in the caption, revealing that the delivery was quick and easy, taking only 47 seconds with just one push.
Murgatroyd surprised fans in February with the news of her pregnancy, just seven months after giving birth to their son Rio. The couple shared that the pregnancy was unexpected but that they were overjoyed to be expanding their family so soon. Despite challenges with previous miscarriages and IVF treatments, they felt incredibly blessed to welcome another child into their lives.
The road to expanding their family was not an easy one for Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy. After experiencing multiple miscarriages and a failed embryo transfer, they welcomed their rainbow baby Rio in June 2023. Their journey was marked by highs and lows, but they remained strong and hopeful throughout. The couple’s love and dedication to each other helped them navigate through the challenges they faced.
Building a Wolf Pack Family
Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy used blue confetti poppers to announce that baby No. 3 would also be a boy, adding to their growing family of boys. The couple expressed their excitement about having their sons be the best of friends and looked forward to family dinners filled with laughter. Murgatroyd referred to herself as a “real-life wolf pack Mumma,” highlighting the bond she shares with her children and husband.
The couple’s love story began on Broadway in 2009, but it wasn’t until three years later, when they reunited as “DWTS” pros, that they started dating. Chmerkovskiy proposed to Murgatroyd in December 2015 during an episode of the show, and they tied the knot in July 2017 in New York. Their journey from colleagues to partners to parents has been filled with ups and downs, but their love and commitment have remained unwavering.
The arrival of their third baby boy is a testament to Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy’s enduring love and resilience. Despite facing challenges along the way, they have continued to build a strong and loving family. Their journey serves as an inspiration to others, showing that with love, dedication, and a positive attitude, anything is possible. Congratulations to the happy family on their newest addition!
