Last month, Murgatroyd shared that she was expecting another baby after welcoming their second son, Rio John Chmerkovskiy, in June 2023, through in vitro fertilization. The couple, who are also parents to son Shai Chmerkovskiy, whom they welcomed in January 2017, had previously opened up about their "constant struggle and heartache" to have a second child.
In their Instagram post that they shared in February revealing the news that they were expecting again, Murgatroyd said she and Chmerkovskiy are "beyond blessed and know we are uber lucky for this miracle to happen to us."
