Murgatroyd then shared a video discussing the joyful announcement. “Another Chmerkovskiy is coming! We are so, so ecstatic for Val and Jenna. This is such a dream,” she says.
“I’m so happy we are expanding the family,” she shares with a laugh, adding, “I’m saying it like it’s mine.”
“I’m going to be an auntie, Shai’s going to have a cousin,” she continues, referring to her 5-year-old son with husbandMaks Chmerkovskiy, 42. “This is like the best news and we are so happy for them. It’s just a glorious day to share the news, finally.”

Commenting on PEOPLE’s reveal on Instagram, Murgatroyd added, “Yessssss it’s finally here! Shai can’t wait to meet his cousin!!! And me, I’m gonna be an actual Aunty Peta now.”
“There was one comment in particular: How could you not [have another child]?” Murgatroyd recalled. “The ‘how could you not’ threw me off the ledge. It was like, if only you knew what was actually going on with my family, you would never say that.”
Since being diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome, a hormonal imbalance that can cause a woman not to ovulate regularly, Murgatroyd is feeling positive about the journey to her second child.
“I could be pregnant in like a month-and-a-half, I think,” Murgatroyd said. “So [it] might be the happiest day. I honestly feel like I’m in such a better place just because I don’t feel like I have anxiety right now. I feel like I have answers. I don’t have any other words but hope and positivity and just crossing my fingers that this is going to work.”
