Maks Chmerkovskiy admires his wife, Peta Murgatroyd, for juggling motherhood while expecting their third child.
He expressed his admiration, saying, "I don’t know how she does it. She’s a full-time mom of an infant. She’s got him in her hands and all of that, and also, you forget sometimes she’s 7 months pregnant. It’s crazy." Chmerkovskiy, 44, shared this exclusively with We at the Monster Jam World Finals XXIII at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium on Saturday, May 18. He also mentioned that Murgatroyd, 37, is "feeling amazing."
Chmerkovskiy, who has two sons with Murgatroyd, mentioned that they are not currently preparing for a third child. He shared that he is allowing his wife to take the lead in this situation.
He expressed confidence in their parenting skills, stating, "We're experienced parents and we know what we're doing. The only new experience for us would be having Irish twins, so we're curious to see how it goes and will keep everyone updated."
Chmerkovskiy is feeling relaxed about the upcoming arrival of their third child. He mentioned, "The more the merrier."
The Dancing With the Stars professionals shared the news in February that Murgatroyd is pregnant with their third child. In a joint Instagram post, they wrote, "We Are Having A Baby Yes we know…we just had a baby… haha! This was very unexpected at (4 months postpartum with Rio) but we are sooooo happy and so ready to be a family of 5 soon!"

The couple shared a video where Murgatroyd informed Chmerkovskiy about the baby news over FaceTime. However, they also had a private conversation off-camera.
Chmerkovskiy explained to Us in February that he asked Peta about her feelings because they are in this together. He wanted to know if she was feeling overwhelmed or if she saw it as a blessing. Peta reassured him that she felt it was a blessing, and he decided to focus on that positive outlook.
Chmerkovskiy expressed his belief that he and Murgatroyd are not finished expanding their family. He mentioned that if they can handle raising their three children successfully, they will likely decide to have more. As long as they have the space for it, Chmerkovskiy is open to the idea.
Having married Murgatroyd in 2017, Chmerkovskiy shared his excitement for the future. He eagerly looks forward to the next chapter of their lives, envisioning a scenario where Peta is surrounded by a supportive squad that she has built, with himself present in the room as well.
