'Dancing With The Stars' Pro Peta Murgatroyd Confirms Relationship With Maksim Chmerkovskiy
After months of speculation whether Peta Murgatroyd and Maksim Chmerkovskiy have gotten back together or whether he is really dating Meryl Davis, the truth is finally revealed as Murgatroyd has confirmed that she and Chmerkovskiy are in a relationship again.
Murgatroyd spoke with Radar Online to clear up the rumors and explain why their relationship is doing well.
"He's the most generous man I have ever met and I'm very happy," she told Radar last week at the Joico event in Los Angeles.
The couple first started dating in the spring of 2012, but after 10 months of dating, they split in 2013. Shortly after, she was rumored to be dating her season 18 dance partner, James Maslow, while Chmerkovskiy was rumored to be dating Davis.
Peta said that dealing with the rumors has been a challenge for both of them.
"We're a private couple and like to keep our private lives to ourselves," Murgatroyd said. "Although I've been on stage and in front of cameras for 15 years now, I don't think I can ever get used to a camera in my face with everyday life."
"A relationship is sacred," she added. "I love that we save that only for one another."
Though they don't talk about their relationship, the two have often posted pictures of each other on social media. Two weeks ago, Murgatroyd took to Instagram to share a photo of her with her boyfriend, all glammed up for the 10th anniversary of DWTS as they smiled widely for the camera and it was captioned, "Straight up cheesin." On May 5, Murgatroyd took to the photo sharing app again to share a photo of the two of them, this time dressed casually and sitting on a couch. The shot was captioned, "Ice packs and #dwts."
Murgatroyd definitely sees a long future with Chmerkovskiy, as she told Radar, "In five years I'd like to be juggling an amazing career and a big family with a bunch of kids."
