June 19 (UPI) — Dancing with the Stars couple Maks Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd are celebrating the birth of their second child.
Chmerkovskiy, 43, and Murgatroyd, 36, recently welcomed another son.
Chmerkovskiy shared the news on Father’s Day through an Instagram post, featuring a photo of himself cradling his baby boy.
“Happy Father’s Day to me! #MadeInPeta,” he captioned the post.
Other DWTS pros, including Sharna Burgess, Emma Slater, and Jenna Johnson, expressed their congratulations in the comments.
“How perfect,” Burgess wrote.
“OMG YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!! On Father’s Day!!!!” Slater added.
“We love him so much,” Johnson said.
Chmerkovskiy and Murgatroyd tied the knot in July 2017 and already have a 6-year-old son named Shai Aleksander. They announced their second pregnancy in January.
“After 2 years of constant struggle and heartache, 3 miscarriages and a failed embryo transfer… we have a healthy bun in the oven :)),” Murgatroyd shared on Instagram. “It was a shock to all of us, and we found out right before I was going in for my second round of IVF.”
Chmerkovskiy and Murgatroyd openly discussed their fertility struggles in June 2022, revealing their experience with three miscarriages in two years.
Chmerkovskiy’s brother, Val Chmerkovskiy, and Johnson, who are also DWTS pros, welcomed their first child, a son named Rome, in January.
