“We are overjoyed to share our baby boy with all of you,” she continued, adding their 6-year-old son, Shai “is already the best big brother and we all feel very complete 🥹.”

Murgatroyd concluded, “Life is good XO.”

Before Murgatroyd’s pregnancy, the couple had been very open about the difficulty they faced while trying to conceive another child.

In 2020, Murgatroyd suffered her first pregnancy loss while in a Whole Foods bathroom.

“I was sitting in the bathroom sobbing,” she recalled to People last June. “That was something that will probably live with me for the rest of my life, being on that toilet by myself, knowing what was happening and not being able to stop it.”

She then disclosed that she had two other miscarriages, confessing she felt “ashamed” and “embarrassed” at the time.

Chmerkovskiy, for his part, told the magazine that he was “really upset” by the losses.

The couple tied the knot in 2017 and welcomed their son Shai that same year.Instagram

“I never thought that two healthy, athletic people could be in a predicament like this,” the Ukrainian dancer shared. “It’s a lot to process.”

The couple began to feel optimistic about conceiving again after speaking to a fertility specialist.

That same month, Murgatroyd, who had been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, underwent an egg retrieval to begin the IVF process, followed by an embryo transfer two months later.
