Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd: Married!

It’s wedding season, y’all!

This particular time of year, people seem to like to get married, celebrities and normal folk alike.

And it seems like Dancing with the Stars power couple Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd are those kind of people.

Yesterday, Maksim and Peta got married in an absolutely gorgeous ceremony at an actual castle in Long Island.

And, unlike most celebrities, they allowed their guests to take photos throughout the ceremony and reception, and to share those photos on social media.

That’s how we have that beautiful photo of Maksim and Peta dancing during their wedding reception, and photos of … well, you’ll see!

Since both the bride and groom are professional dancers on Dancing with the Stars, it makes sense that many, many stars of the show were there — both in attendance and in the wedding party.

Not all of them though, because Julianne Hough also got married yesterday.

See what we mean about it being wedding season?

Val Chmerkovskiy, Maksim’s brother and another dancing pro, was the best man, and Tony Dovolani was one of his groomsmen.

Meanwhile, Peta chose Sharna Burgess and one-time celebrity contestant Rumer Willis as two of her bridesmaids.

Nyle DiMarco and Candace Cameron Bure were guests to the couple’s big day — Candace and Maks even shared a dance during the reception!

Peta was walked down the aisle by her father, and her dress was an ivory ball gown fit for a princess.

Maksim chose a stylish white jacket for his wedding ensemble — doesn’t he look so handsome?

After the wedding, the couple spent some time outside with their guests before moving indoors for the reception.

For their first dance, they didn’t show off like you might think a couple of people famous for their dancing skills would. Instead, they kept things simple.

Simple and adorable.

Speaking of adorable, Maks actually sang to Peta at one point.

Can you even handle how precious this whole thing sounds?

At one point during the reception, Peta left to change into her second gown of the night: a feathered dress that looked to be a bit easier to move around in.

It’s also worth noting that both Peta and Maks looked painfully happy in each and every photo from their wedding.

Sounds like a lovely day for lovely people, right?

It’s also pretty special since the wedding comes six months, nearly to the day, after they gave birth to their first child, a boy named Shai Aleksander Chmerkovskiy.

It was nearly a year before Shai was born that his parents got engaged, too — Maksim proposed to Peta in December of 2015.

There’s no word on if little Shai had a role in the wedding, nor are there any photos of him, but still, it all sounds very cute.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Peta Murgatroyd & Maksim Chmerkovskiy Welcome First Child

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?

Peta Murgatroyd on Deaf Dancing With The Stars Partner Nyle DiMarco: "I Had My Doubts"

On May 23rd, the won the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy, but that doesn"t mean that Dancing With The Stars duo Peta Murgatroyd and Nyle DiMarco were always 100% positive they would emerge victorious.  

In fact, Murgatroyd though the complete opposite when she learned she was going to be paired up with the deaf winner of America"s Next Top Model.

Murgatroyd, who hails from Perth, Australia, explained to the morning show that DiMarco comes from a family that has four generations of deaf members, and that he himself is 100% deaf.

"It was pretty challenging," the pro dancer told Australia"s Today show via satellite on March 27th.

"You know, when I first met him, I had to sit down and really strategise as to how I was going to get through the competition."

"I definitely had my doubts."

Murgatroyd explained how she not only got DiMarco to feel the rhythm, but she created an experiment that allowed viewers to understand what DiMarco experiences every week.

"We did do the silent dance, it was the paso doble. We cut the music for about four counts of eight," she explained. You know, I did that because I wanted to show America- and the world – what it"s like being in his position every Monday night.

It was scary, it was haunting, and people actually understood after that what he was going through and how crazy it is. He has this [built-in] rhythm in his body.  And I still, to this day, don"t know how he did it.  

"We got through it with little scratches on his back to make him faster, we had pulls and pushes. 

"It turned out great," she told the anchors.

"I mean, he did so well every single week and he just proved to people that anybody can dance and anybody can do this competition."

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd: Expecting First Child!

Peta Murgatroyd just took home the Season 22 Mirror Ball title with Nyle DiMarco on Tuesday night’s Dancing With the Stars results show.

But she has even bigger news to celebrate today …

Peta and her fiance, former Dancing With the Stars mainstay Maksim Chmerkovskiy, are expecting their first child together, Us confirms. 

It’s a ballroom baby!

Murgatroyd, 29, and Chmerkovskiy, 36, got engaged in December 2015 when the Ukraine native got down on one knee on stage in Miami.

“I’m in love with you and I want to be in love with you for the rest of my life,” he said during a performance of Sway at the Olympia Theater.

“Will you marry me?”

Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy dated for 10 months in 2012 and 2013, then broke it off before they rekindled the romance in early 2015.

This winter, she gushed over him, “I’ve always said he has the most incredible generosity. He wants to take care of everybody that he knows.”

“He has an incredible sense of humor when you get to see it,” she said. “I think that his bad-boy image is slowly kind of drifting away.”

“That harsh Maksim image. He is the biggest teddy bear you’ll ever meet underneath that Ukrainian look. I just love him,” Peta continued.

“Everything about him.”

“He’s just a great man.”

Murgatroyd alluded earlier this year that she and her partner were ready for kids – two or three, to be exact, should they be so blessed.

The Dancing With the Stars standout added: “[Maks is] somebody that I’ve always seen as being a great father and a great husband.”

Looks like he’s on the road to becoming both now, with no turning back! Congratulations to the pair and all the celebs expecting in 2016!

Dancing With The Stars Drama: Everyone Hates Peta Murgatroyd and Nyle DiMarco

There’s nothing like being punished for your talents.

This season, partners Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd are the least popular cast members on the set, primarily because of their high scores.

Next week, the celebs will switch partners, which is kind of freaking the America’s Next Top Model winner out.

“The other guys on set used to just shun Nyle, but it has gotten to the point where they are just flat-out rude now!” a source told Radar Online.

“No one even tries to engage with him anymore. Granted, he is deaf, but they used to all at least just say ‘hello’ or tell him that he was doing a great job. There is no longer any of that going on.”

Muratroyd is even butting heads with Val Chmerkovskiy, her fiance’s younger brother, “because he told Maksim that Peta was getting too emotionally attached to Nyle,” the source added.

“There is so much drama right now because Peta is constantly fighting with her castmates because it seems like they are all out to get Nyle.”

So, everyone’s acting like a child/celebrity.

“Nyle’s competitors are trying to shut him down,” the source explained

“He is the strongest competitor right now and because of that he is getting a lot of heat from the other dancers.

“Peta is being fiercely protective over Nyle because she has to be.  She has a lot invested in this and in him. Everyone is trying to start sh*t with the both of them and it is just making Nyle work harder. He is in it to win it.”

Maksim Chmerkovskiy & Peta Murgatroyd: Engaged!

Dancing With the Stars pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd began dating back in 2012, but just like the competition for the mirrored ball trophy, their relationship has been far from easy.

The couple split several times amidst infidelity rumors, always telling the press that their work schedules were too hectic to allow them time for a relationship.

(We feel like training and filming just a few feet away from each other would make it easy to put in long days at work and still spend time together, but we digress.)

Anyway, after many ups and downs, Maksim and Peta got back together in May of this year, and over the weekend, Maks asked Peta to be his dancing partner for the rest of their lives.

This is not a couple that"s ever shied away from the spotlight, so it"s fitting that Maks proposed during a performance at the Olympia Theater in Miami.

You can watch the big moment in the video below.

"I"m in love with you, and I will be in love with you for the rest of my life," Maks told Peta before getting down on one knee – much to the delight of the massive crowd on hand.

The couple hasn"t discussed any specifics, such as when they plan to tie the knot, but if they decide to have kids, you know they"ll with some serious rhythm.

Congrats to Maks and Peta!
