Maks Chmerkovskiy and his wife, Peta Murgatroyd, are eagerly preparing to welcome their third child and are open to expanding their family even further. Chmerkovskiy expressed his optimism about the possibility of having more children, emphasizing that as long as they have the space and are successful with their current three kids, they are open to the idea of adding more to their family.
The couple, who are already parents to sons Shai and Rio, shared the news of Murgatroyd's pregnancy earlier this month via Instagram. Chmerkovskiy revealed that they had a heartfelt off-camera conversation where they both expressed their excitement and gratitude for the new addition.
Chmerkovskiy, who tied the knot with Murgatroyd in 2017, is thrilled about the prospect of welcoming another baby into their lives. He shared his admiration for his wife's strength and resilience throughout her pregnancies, especially noting her dedication to her work, including participating in Dancing With the Stars while pregnant.
The couple's eldest son, Shai, has also shown enthusiasm about the new sibling on the way, with Chmerkovskiy humorously mentioning Shai's interest in choosing a unique name for the baby. Despite the challenges of balancing a growing family and his role as a judge on So You Think You Can Dance, Chmerkovskiy expressed gratitude for the opportunity and his readiness to mentor others in the industry.
Chmerkovskiy will be joining the judging panel of So You Think You Can Dance alongside fellow pro dancers Allison Holker and JoJo Siwa in the upcoming season 18, set to premiere on Fox on March 4th at 9 p.m. ET. The seasoned performer sees this new role as a culmination of his extensive experience in the entertainment industry and is excited to share his knowledge and expertise with aspiring dancers.
