There’s a new addition to the Dancing With the Stars family!
Yes, Peta Murgatroyd has given birth to her first child with Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
30-year-old Murgatroyd gave birth in the early hours of January, 4, 2017.
Chmerkovskiy took to Twitter to announce the news to his followers, as well as the baby name.
“Shai Aleksander Chmerkovskiy 01/04/17 5:34am,” the dancing pro Tweeted.
Based on how quickly the baby daddy took to Twitter, it’s clear he is a proud father and is ecstatic about what the future holds for himself and his family.
This is one of the best moments of his life, so it’s only natural that he would opt to share it with his fans.
The news was later confirmed via a spokesperson for the couple to US Weekly.
“We can confirm that Peta and Maks have had their baby boy, Shai Aleksander Chmerkovskiy, born on Wednesday, January 4th at 5:34 a.m. Per the couple, ‘This is, without a doubt, the best thing that has ever happened to us!"”
Considering Chmerkovskiy already took to Twitter to confirm the news, the statement was not needed, but at least we know his Twitter has not been hacked.
That seems to be happening to celebrities all too often these days.
It’s getting pretty ridiculous.
Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy were dating off and on from 2012, but they solidified their relationship in December 2015 when they got engaged and are now planning to marry in July.
Both Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy have been staples on Dancing with the Stars over the years, with both of them up there as some of the best dancers on the show.
Chmerkovskiy most recently partnered with Amber Rose to try and help her win the competition, but she did not make it very far.
We would like to extend our congratulations to the new parents.
Will their child follow suit and become a dancing phenomenon, just like his parents?
