‘Dancing With The Stars’ Season 24 News: Maksim Chmerkovskiy Talks Wedding Plans With Peta Murgatroyd
"Dancing With The Stars" Season 24 pro-Maksim Chmerkovskiy has unveiled details on his upcoming wedding to his fiancée, fellow pro Peta Murgatroyd. One of the few important details he's revealed is the venue for the wedding.
"We have an amazing, amazing space on Long Island, Oheka [Castle]," Chmerkovskiy said about the place where they will officially tie the knot in an interview with ABC News. The 37-year-old professional dancer for "Dancing With The Stars" Season 24 added that he had always dreamed of getting married at the castle since he moved to Brooklyn from the Ukraine in 1994 as a teen.
The Ukrainian dancer and his Australian partner, who met on the set of "Dancing With The Stars" Season 24, will wed this summer. "We went there [Oheka Castle]. It's perfect. We're going to have it for two days. They're closing the whole hotel. It's going to be unbelievable," Chmerkovskiy said. He also disclosed that Murgatroyd will do most of the planning when it comes to their wedding.
Speaking of Murgatroyd, the New Zealand-born dancer has also spoken up about her body after giving birth to her son Shai with Chmerkovskiy back in January. She admits that she still feels she's carrying excess baby weight but it's coming off at a slow pace. The 30-year-old "Dancing With The Stars" Season 24 star added that it will take another month for her to be fully back into shape, according to People.
After taking a season off from the hit reality dancing competition, Murgatroyd returned to "Dancing With The Stars" Season 24 along with fiancé Chmerkovskiy. In between planning their special day and taking care of their two-month-old tot, the couple is also juggling dancing duties for the current season of the show. Murgatroyd is paired with "Bachelor" Season 21 alum Nick Viall while Chmerkovskiy is paired with former "Glee" star Heather Morris.
