How beautiful! ❤️ When her baby wouldn’t stay without the mother, she brought the child onto the dance floor, and they danced together …
Behind every great “Dancing with the Stars” pro is a support system cheering them on as they fight it out on the dance floor for the coveted Mirrorball Trophy.
For the pros competing on season 32, the loved ones rooting them at home include romantic partners, spouses, siblings, parents, kids and more. For some, they may also even be getting support from inside the ballroom thanks to their marriage to a fellow pro.
Peta Murgatroyd, a two-time Mirrorball champ, has a supportive family at home cheering for her when she’s tearing up the ballroom with her fiery moves. The New Zealand-born dancer met her husband, fellow “DWTS” pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy, on the show and the two married in July 2017 after becoming engaged in December 2015. In January 2017, they welcomed their first child, a son named Shai who is now 6 years old.
Murgatroyd was open about her and Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s journey to welcome another child, including experiencing multiple miscarriages and undergoing IVF treatments prior to them welcoming their second child, a son named Rio, in June 2023. Murgatroyd regularly posts funny videos with her husband and adorable #boymom content to her socials.
Daniella Karagach has been a “DWTS” pro for four seasons and since then, has won one Mirrorball trophy. She is a proud new mom to daughter Nikita, whom she welcomed in May with husband Pasha Pashkov. Over the years since they wed in July 2014, the couple has shared heartfelt messages about the love they have for each other on social media.
For their ninth wedding anniversary in July, Karagach called Pashkov her “rock” in a sweet Instagram post. “To have a man like you by my side is something I’ll never take for granted,” she wrote. “I love our life, I love our love and I love the family we’ve created.”
