Introducing Rio! Peta Murgatroyd and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have revealed the name they have given their bouncing baby boy 

Peta Murgatroyd and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have revealed the name they have given their bouncing baby boy.

The couple introduced their son Rio John Chmerkovskiy to the world via Instagram on Wednesday, along with the very-first photo of their newborn child.

In the adorable photo, the tyke slumbered peacefully in a stylish tan outfit as he lay beside a wooden fixture bearing his name.

Both Peta, 36, and Maksim, 43, posted the same photo and caption to their accounts, which included several details about his birth.

'Rio John Chmerkovskiy,' the caption began, along with two blue heart emojis. 'Born ~ 6.18.2023. 8.6 oz and thriving!

'We are overjoyed to share our baby boy with all of you. @shai.aleksander is already the best big brother and we all feel very complete. Life is good XO.'

The two lovebirds, who tied the knot back in 2017, already share six-year-old son, Shai. 

It came just days after the couple announced Rio's arrival on Father's Day.  

The Dancing With The Stars pro, who announced she was expecting baby number two earlier this year in January, could be seen laying in a hospital bed in a clip uploaded by her husband shortly before welcoming their little one to the world. 

Before conceiving their second baby, the professional dancer notably suffered a total of three miscarriages throughout 2020 and 2021 before revealing her second pregnancy earlier this year. 

The choreographer uploaded an adorable photo as he lovingly held his newborn son in his arms. 'Happy Father's Day to me!' he penned in the caption, followed by the hashtag, '#MadeInPeta.' 

Maksim shared a video onto his Instagram stories before the couple became parents of two, which began with the dancer greeting his fans and followers while sitting on a chair inside a spacious hospital room. 

He panned the phone camera over to his wife, Peta, who was laying in a bed. 'How are you feeling?' he asked, prompting her to throw her arms into the air and humorously flashed peace signs towards her husband. 

'We're having a baby,' she stated, while moving her arms back and forth in a slight, dancing motion. Peta then added that it had been a 'rough night.' 

The now mother of two addressed social media users in the clip, and revealed, 'Guys, all of you were right. Started as little baby things, and then boom. I couldn't talk, could barely walk. And we went through every red light to get here on time.' 

The reel concluded with Maksim stated, 'We're here,' and then excitedly added, 'Let's get that baby!' 

Shortly before the video was uploaded, he also shared a sweet photo as he held hands with his wife inside of the hospital. 'It's go time!' he wrote in the caption. 

The star then revealed that he rushed to get to Los Angeles to take his wife to the hospital. 'Made it to LA from Napa in record time! Curtesy of (about to be thrice) grandpa Sasha ;).' 

'@petamurgatroyd is the fantastic unicorn that she is and I can't wait for another one of her best creations! She is an absolutely amazing boy mom and about to birth another lucky man into this world.' 

Upon sharing a photo after their newborn son was born, social media users jumped to the comment section to express their excitement and congratulations. 

Rumer Willis, who recently welcomed her first child in April, wrote, 'Congratulations papa so happy for you guys.' 

Model Joanna Krupa penned, 'Wow amazing timing! So happy for u guys!' while TV personality Amanda Kloots added, 'Wow what a day! What a gift!' 

Earlier this month in June, Peta got candid about suffering three miscarriages before becoming pregnant with their second child. She shared a video that had documented the heartbreaking moments, which then led up to her successfully carrying their second baby. 

'It's been a long ride for our family. Each day of those two and a half years I prayed for a miracle. I really was reluctant sharing this footage (some I did leave out) but I realized this is my journey...not a pretty journey but .MY journey,' she wrote.

'I am a changed woman from these events, I think a better woman. Today I am happy and content, I am grateful and won't take things for granted. I never thought this day at 39 weeks would come,' the DWTS star admitted. 

'It was an infatuation to be pregnant with my second child, I thought I needed it for my soul, to be full and whole. What I needed to realize and come to terms with was the fact that I am whole, I have a beautiful healthy family who love me and that I wasn't able to see.' 

The star added, 'It killed my soul, but as soon as I released my fears of bearing only one child, I was pregnant a month later. I still look down and think HOW?!!! How did I get pregnant naturally a month after IVF? I am forever wrapped up in gratitude with a week or so to go.' 

Peta then gave a special shout out to Maksim for being 'the greatest man' and 'sticking by me and riding this crazy wave of sorrow and joy.' 

The professional dancer also penned a tribute to her son, Shai, who has 'been my light and greatest joy through all of this.' 

The New Zealand-born star and Maksim became engaged in 2015 after dating on and off since 2012, and their first son was born in January 2017. 

Later that same year in July, the happy couple tied the knot during a romantic ceremony at Oheka Castle located in Long Island, New York.
