'Dancing With the Stars' News: Maks Chmerkovskiy & Peta Murgatroyd Baby Gender Revealed [VIDEO]
Dancing With the Stars pros Peta Murgatroyd and Maks Chmerkovskiy are busy preparing for their marriage and first child, and now they have some fun news to share with the world.
Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy will be having a boy, according to a source via People.
"Peta and Maks are so excited about the baby," the source told the publication. "They're prepping and getting ready."
The dancing couple will apparently wait to have their son before getting married, with Murgatroyd expected to give birth in the winter.
"They're going to wait to get married until after the baby comes," the source said. "The baby would be part of their wedding!"
Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy are expected to get married in summer 2017. The couple previously spoke about having their first child with People.
"I can't wait to provide this baby with the tools to become a beautiful, kind person," Chmerkovskiy said back in June. "And they'll have the best sneaker collection."
"I'm looking forward to nurturing something and just having the baby be the center of our world," Murgatroyd added. "I'm looking forward to putting all our energy into this beautiful soul."
Chmerkovskiy also said at the time that, "we'll be in trouble with a little me running around. So hopefully they'll be a lot like Peta." Considering they are having a boy, they may just be in trouble!
While Murgatroyd's growing stomach would make it nearly impossible for her to return for season 23 of Dancing With the Stars this fall, it's still possible that Chmerkovskiy could return. However, after he won season 18 with Meryl Davis, his first championship with the series after being on the show for nearly a decade, it seemed like he wanted to go out on top.
Chmerkovskiy has since been back as a guest judge, so we could see him in that type of a role again.
Dancing With the Stars season 23 premieres Monday, Sept. 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
