Have fun romping! Peta Murgatroyd and her husband, Maksim Khmerkovskiyare expecting their rainbow baby after previous miscarriages – and the pregnant dancer is already in awe of her changing body.
“Something is growing in my stomach… it’s a child,” Murgatroyd said in a January 2023 Instagram video shared through her Peta Jane Beauty brand account. “Life is wild right now, it’s beautiful, and we’re just over the moon to have a little nugget!”
The Dancing with the stars pro announced earlier that month that she is expecting baby No. 2 with the Ukraine native.
“I am extremely pleased to finally announce that @maksimc and I are expecting our Chmerkovskiy #2 ❤️Murgatroyd wrote via Instagram, revealing she would be due in June. “After 2 years of constant struggle and heartache, 3 miscarriages and a failed embryo transfer… we have a healthy bun in the oven :)) It was a shock to all of us and we found out just before I went in for my second IVF round.”
She added at the time: “This news has brought extraordinary bliss to our family and we have so much to be thankful for 🙏🏻.”
The Peta Jane Beauty Entrepreneur and the Masked dancer alum — who share son Shai, born in 2017 — have been candid about their fertility struggles as they hope to one day expand their family. Murgatroyd previously had three miscarriages in two years, most recently in October 2021, before they began exploring in vitro fertilization (IVF).
“It’s traumatizing, and [Maks is] the one closest to me,” the New Zealand native shared exclusively Us weekly in July 2022. “So he goes through it as often as I do, so to speak. It did bring us closer together. When you go through something like that, it’s just an ultimate bonding session. … When you get to that crossroads and make those big decisions, it’s so important to make them together and move forward together as a family unit, and I feel like we’ve done that.
Since learning she is pregnant, Murgatroyd has seen many changes in her body.
“Some of you may have noticed my ta-tas [have gotten bigger] and yes, you’re right, they’re absolutely gigantic,” she joked in her January 2023 Peta Jane Beauty upload, noting that “the same thing” happened when she was pregnant with Shai. “I am really praying and really wishing for them to slow down a bit because I am only four and a half months old and I need them to just relax. It is much.”
