Hey there, friends! Let's dive into some exciting news straight from the pages of Us Weekly. Peta Murgatroyd, the dazzling dancer we all adore, has hinted that she might just be ready to glide back onto the ballroom floor of Dancing With the Stars. But here's the scoop: she's hoping the show can tweak its grueling schedule so she can spend more precious moments with her one-year-old son, Shai. If that happens, Peta might just lace up those dancing shoes again for the next season.
Now, listen to what the 32-year-old mom had to say: “I wouldn’t say no to it,” she confessed. “It’s all about the timing and ensuring I have enough time for my little guy, Shai. Dancing With the Stars is no picnic—it’s super demanding. So, it’s got to be the perfect moment for me and my family.”

Peta's Journey: Balancing Career and Motherhood
Let’s rewind for a moment. Peta stepped away from Dancing With the Stars back in January 2017, right after her bundle of joy, Shai, was born. The moment she laid eyes on her baby’s tiny hands and feet, Peta knew her life would never be the same. Motherhood became her top priority, and everything else had to take a backseat. Shortly after settling into her new role, Peta opened up to Entertainment Tonight about the challenges of returning to the ABC hit show.
“I’m a mom now, and that comes first, hands down,” she shared. “I can’t imagine spending 10 hours away from my child each day. That’s just not who I am anymore. My priorities have shifted, and my little one is the center of my universe now.”
When Love Takes the Lead: Maksim's Decision
Not long after Peta stepped away from Dancing With the Stars, her husband, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, followed suit. The dynamic duo decided that family came first, and both opted out of Season 27 to focus on raising their son. Maksim, who is now 38, explained his perspective on The Real. “When you become a dad, everything changes,” he said. “You see the world differently, and your priorities shift. We both realized that our family needed us more than our careers did.”

Expanding the Family: Maksim and Peta's Future Plans
As it turns out, Maksim is already dreaming about expanding their family. In a heartfelt interview with Us Weekly, he gushed, “I can’t wait for more kids!” Peta, on the other hand, playfully chimed in, “He’d have a baby every year if he could! But seriously, I think three is a great number. I don’t want to be constantly pregnant or recovering. We’re taking it one step at a time, and right now, Shai is our world.”
