Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd are expecting

We bet Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd's bundle of joy will be one heck of a dancer.

Murgatroyd, 29, is pregnant with the couple's first child together, a source confirms to ET. "They're so happy," the source says about the exciting news. "Funny thing is, they've been trying to get pregnant even before they were engaged."

Murgatroyd has remain tight-lipped about her pregnancy on the "Dancing With the Stars" set, but has been "tired and emotional," according to the source.

ET has reached out to both her and Chmerkovskiy's reps.

The "DWTS" pros got engaged last December, when 36-year-old Chmerkovskiy proposed onstage at the "Sway: A Dance Trilogy" show in Miami.

"I couldn't see myself with anybody else," Murgatroyd told ET exclusively in December of her fiancé at the Children's Miracle Network Winter Wonderland Ball in Hollywood. "He's the love of my life."

And Murgatroyd has plenty to celebrate these days. The dancer and her "DWTS" partner this season, deaf model Nyle DiMarco, won the coveted Mirror Ball trophy on Tuesday night, beating out UFC star Paige VanZant and Good Morning America meteorologist Ginger Zee.


DiMarco praised Murgatroyd when ET chatted with him after his big win.

"The first week that we worked together, she was already starting to learn my language and my culture. She was very curious," DiMarco explained. "She did the right thing right out of the chute. It really was about learning about each other's worlds and I think that message was really strong."
