Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd welcome 3rd child
Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd are now parents of three.
The dance pros confirmed the arrival of their son on Friday in a sweet joint Instagram post. They are already parents to sons Shai Aleksander Chmerkovskiy and Rio John Chmerkovskiy.
"He is officially evicted from his mom and he is sooooo cute!!!!" Chmerkovskiy said in the caption of the post. "Birth details later but for now we wanted to let you all know that mom and baby are doing perfect, and delivery took around 47 seconds total! Exactly one push!"
"Also thank you for all the beautiful messages we have been receiving," he added. "Means a lot and very much appreciated."
The post included a selfie of the couple with Murgatroyd holding their new bundle of joy.
The duo announced the news that they were expecting their third child in February.
In the video, Murgatroyd, who gave birth to Rio through in vitro fertilization in June 2023, delivered the news about her pregnancy to Chmerkovskiy over the phone.
