Chmerkovskiy took Murgatroyd to hospital in the early morning. Although anxious, the dancer managed to crack up sharing a pic of his baby mama applying mascara while lying on a bed and wearing a hospital gown. "But first...a little make up," so he joked.
The baby is the first child for both of them. They got engaged in December 2015 after he proposed to her on stage during "Sway: A Dance Trilogy" in Miami, Florida. Chmerkovskiy was once engaged to "DWTS" cast Karina Smirnoff and Murgatroyd dated "DWTS" alum Damian Whitewood.
