How old is max on dancing with stars
Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Peta Murgatroyd’s Relationship Timeline
Swept up in love! Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd are a match made in dancing heaven.
The couple met while on Broadway in 2009, but it wasn’t until their paths crossed again on Dancing With the Stars that they began dating in 2012. Three years later, the Ukrainian dancer asked Murgatroyd to marry him while performing onstage in December 2015.
“I never thought that we were going to be together,” the New Zealand native exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2019.
The Faith, Hope and Love actress noted that when she met Chmerkovskiy, dating “wasn’t even a thought that crossed my mind.”
The couple did, however, make it down the aisle in July 2017, having a both a small ceremony at City Hall and a 300-guest celebration in New York the same month.
“It was beautiful. He made me cry,” Murgatroyd told Us of her husband’s vows, noting she spoke about wanting to be with him “until we’re old in a rocking chair together. ”
Chmerkovskiy revealed that when the pair kissed during their big ceremony, “a giant rainbow came out [and] people lost their s–t!” Murgatroyd added: “I couldn’t believe it when I turned around. It was amazing — perfect timing.”
The pair, who welcomed their first child, son Shai, in January 2017 ahead of the nuptials, have continued to evolve as a couple.
“You become closer,” the Murgatroyd told Us in March 2019. “From the delivery room, to bringing them home for the first time, to, like, sharing those special moments.”
As the married dancers continue raising Shai together, Murgatroyd revealed in June 2022 that she had suffered three miscarriages while trying to expand their family.
“It’s traumatizing, and he’s the one that’s closest to me,” she exclusively told Us in July 2022. “So, he goes through it as much as I go through it, so to speak. It did bring us closer together. When you go through something like that, it’s just an ultimate bonding session.
… When you come to those crossroads and those big decisions, making them together and moving forward together as a family unit is so important, and I feel like we did that.”
The Peta Jane Beauty founder and the Masked Dancer finalist have since been candid about their fertility struggles as they undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF).
“I’ve had actually no, like, really close friends of me do [IVF] before either, so I haven’t been privy to the process. But I’m very hopeful,” she told Us that July. “I really want a girl … and [Maks is] very much just wanting that bond with one baby [as opposed to twins]. I think we’re both nervous about trying to balance two, with how to kind of share the love and be there for each baby.”

The dancers met while working on Broadway’s Burn the Floor, which premiered in July 2009.
The New Zealand native joined Dancing With the Stars as a troupe dancer for season 12 of the series in 2011. She was upgraded to a pro the following season.
Maksim, for his part, joined the show in 2009.
The couple began dating three years after they first met.
The duo split in 2013 after dating for 10 months.
The pair were spotted together in January 2015 with a source telling Us they had been “spending time together.” Four months later, a second source told Us that the couple were “fully back together.”
The Ukrainian dancer announced their engagement in December 2015. Chmerkovskiy popped the question at the end of a performance of Sway at the Olympia Theater in Miami.
The couple welcomed their first child, son Shai, in January 2017. “This is, without a doubt, the best thing that has ever happened to us,” the pair said in a statement at the time.
The professional dancers said “I do” at City Hall in New York City in July 2017. “This was one of the most exciting days of my life,” Chmerkovskiy wrote via Instagram the following year. “Everything felt very festive, I couldn’t take my eyes off my future wife the whole ride to the City Hall and it was is if New York City herself was marrying us.
”
After quietly tying the knot at City Hall, the pair had a lavish ceremony at New York’s Oheka Castle in July 2017. “It was everything we ever dreamt of,” Chmerkovskiy told Us of their vows. “And the party of the year!” Murgatroyd added.
The pair kicked off their Maks, Val and Peta Live on Tour performances in March 2018, alongside Chmerkovskiy’s brother Val Chmerkovskiy. The tour included 49 cities and special guests.
“I think you learn a lot about each other because you don’t really know what type of parent you’re going to be, and who you’re going to be parenting alongside, really, until you become a parent,” the All Things Fam and Glam blogger told Us in March 2019 about the couple’s relationship after becoming parents. “You become closer. From the delivery room, to bringing them home for the first time, to, like, sharing those special moments.”
“When Peta said it was a boy, I had this elated reaction like, ‘Thank God.
’ But immediately after that, I was like, ‘OK, now I’m ready for a girl.’ I just think it’s a special thing,” Maksim told Us in March 2020 of expanding their family. “[My mom is] dying [for a girl], but I am too.” Murgatroyd previously told Us that she would “love to have more kids.”
“I just saw that she genuinely was in love with this guy, and he’s not always easy to love,” Val told Us in March 2020 of when he knew his brother had found The One with Murgatroyd. “I just knew that if she’s capable of loving him like I do and like my parents, and beyond even more so, and is willing to vouch for this man — there’s a lot of things that go with love. Love is not just, ‘Oh, this is love.’ Love is about loyalty, camaraderie, a certain respect. You saw all of that in the way she looked at him, and it was like, ‘That’s a keeper.’”
Maks recalled his brother telling him to lock it down early on in his relationship. “He’s like, ‘I hope you put a ring on it.’ It wasn’t a surprise,” Maks told Us.
“It was a beautiful thing that happened.”
As the world descended into lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Murgatroyd-Chmerkovskiy household hunkered down together for plenty of quality time. As the two-time DWTS champ shared via Instagram at the time, “I’m loving the extra family time that quarantine has brought us .”
In June, she shared another photo collage of her husband and son, writing, “This is all that matters.”
The couple celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary. The Peta Jane Beauty founder shared a slideshow of wedding memories via Instagram, along with the caption: “It’s been over 7 years and I’m still head over heels for you @maksimc Happy Anniversary my love.”
Her doting groom also shared his anniversary wishes for his spouse on Instagram. Chmerkovskiy shared a snapshot of the card he gave her. On it, he wrote, “1,096 amazing, incredible, dramatic, magical, spontaneous, loving, passionate, extraordinary, wild, fervent, beautiful, amorous days!” The dancer continued, “I am lucky to have you in my life is a gross understatement there isn’t an aspect of my life where I feel complete without you.
I love you beyond comprehension and for as long as I live!”
At the beginning of the year, the Fuller House alum appeared as a mystery contestant on Fox’s The Masked Dancer as the Sloth character. While he wasn’t unmasked until the finale, several of his clues along the way mentioned his love for his family. Some of his clues included a family drawing on a chalkboard, a piece of pita bread and that he hoped his performance showed his “Baby Sloth” sees that he’s a “big softy.”
During the seventh week of the season, "Sloth" revealed in a clue package, “I was lonely until I met the love of my life who taught me that love is magic.”
Following the show’s finale, Murgatroyd gushed about her husband’s hard work via Instagram, writing, “I’ll start by saying I’m proud and overwhelmed with joy. Seeing you become the SLOTH was equally hysterical and intriguing, and truly a highlight of 2020 for me. … I hadn’t seen you that happy in months....every day after rehearsal you came home with so much positivity and light radiating from you.
… It was a pleasure seeing your excitement my love....this is what your soul needed and my heart is bursting for you. You’re a STAR, a true entertainer and an absolute champion. I wholeheartedly love you with everything in my being. Here’s to more laughs and sweaty Sloth suit adventures in the future... ”
Murgatroyd cheered on her husband’s stint as a judge on Dancing With the Stars Ukraine.
The Masked Dancer alum gushed that his “heart is full” while celebrating the holidays with his wife and son.
Chmerkovskiy surprised the New Zealand native on Valentine’s Day.
“I was in complete shock, we had just been speaking on the phone, with him telling me he was driving back to his hotel in the freezing cold in Ukraine,” Murgatroyd wrote via Instagram at the time. “Lol. Liar!!! Big lies!!! He had flown overnight and told me that he had a long work day and wouldn’t be able to talk for most of it. More Lies!!!! ❤️ This was the BEST SURPRISE EVER!!!”
Amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Chmerkovskiy gave his social media followers a glimpse of his experience in Kyiv while filming World of Dance.
The Peta Jane founder, for her part, asked for prayers for his safe homecoming.
“I don’t usually ask these things from my social media network, however, today is extremely hard and the next few days will be even harder,” she wrote via Instagram on February 24. “My pain is overwhelming and I’m struggling, but you sending your positive light and love to him would be the world to me. Truly, I wish for nothing more. Please play that he comes home soon. Please pray that he has a swift, safe exit. I have faith. I have hope and I have prayed so hard.”
The twosome were reunited at LAX after Chmerkovskiy’s “traumatizing” journey home from Ukraine, which included a stop in Poland.
“I never thought our family would be directly affected by this in our lifetime, I never thought what we are seeing on our TV’s was a reality in 2022. I have never hugged him so tight,” Murgatroyd wrote via Instagram alongside a snap of Chmerkovskiy cuddling Shai. “Shaking and forever grateful. Now it’s time to heal.
We cannot go back to our normal. Our lives are forever changed. We have a new normal, and that’s OK.”
“I feel OK. However there are so many 'things' going on,” Murgatroyd wrote via Instagram Stories after a fan asked how she felt with her husband’s return to Poland. “At first I was nervous and unsure and didn't want him to leave again. But I know he made the right decision. There wasn't a way that he could stay and watch. I'm just proud. I have my anxious days though!”
"Ojai for a hot minute ✨," Murgatroyd captioned a sultry selfie with her husband as they soaked up quality time following his return from Ukraine.
Murgatroyd revealed she and her husband were just “working” on expanding their family during a June 8 Instagram Q&A. At the time, a social media follower had asked whether a second child was in the couple’s future.
“No seriously, you all will get some info coming at you soon about our family,” she wrote in her social media post.
"You’ve probably been wondering why we haven’t had more children after we keep saying how much we want to .
.. well I’ve been trying. I’ve had three miscarriages and it’s been a long hard journey for Maks and I. A traumatic, stressful, super sad journey," Murgatroyd revealed in a lengthy Instagram post. "You might ask why? Why are you telling this personal story…? Well, I didn’t want to for the longest time. I never wanted to tell anyone."
She continued: "I honestly just got sick of hiding it. I found it was harder to conceal this secret than just 'say it how it was' so to speak. It became harder for me to keep a happy face on, day after day. ... The first time I let it out of my mouth to a colleague I felt strangely better, like a piece of shame had chipped away. So I found the more people I told, the better I felt. I came to realize that there is nothing shameful about it."
Murgatroyd shared a heartbreaking glimpse of her IVF process via Instagram, revealing her first transfer was unsuccessful. "I really did think that this was going to work," she captioned the footage. "Looking into Maks eyes as he was crying, seeing our baby together .
.. just made this experience so worth it even though it didn't turn out how we had hoped. ... I will get my baby, just not right now."

social networks
Nikolai Bortnik himself usually does not comment on them.
Biography of Max Barsky
Nikolai Nikolaevich Bortnik, better known now as Max Barskikh, was born in the south of Ukraine - in Kherson on March 8, 1990 in a family far from art and show business. Max was the first of Bortnikov who showed creative talents.
Maxim's father loved to drink and often allowed himself to raise his hand against household members - therefore, Max Barsky had not the most pleasant memories of this stage of his biography.
When the unlucky parent left the family in the care of his mother, the boy was taken care of by his older brother and sister, who encouraged his craving for art. However, Barskikh at that time did not think at all about the career of a pop performer - he was attracted to the fine arts. nine0005
Along with general education subjects, he studied drawing techniques in depth - and they obeyed him quite easily. However, despite the boy’s diligence and obvious talent, Nikolai Bortnik still couldn’t finish his paintings - he was restless and too active to sit in front of the easel for hours.
Closer to the age of ten, Max decided to try his hand at vocal groups - he began to perform with groups at music festivals. In one of the interviews, the singer said that in childhood he did not watch TV, so he believed that only the music that his mother loved existed. At that time, compositions by Igor Nikolaev, Kirkorov and Allegrova were played on the radio - it was on their songs that Max Barskikh grew up.
nine0005
At the age of 12, the boy wrote his first composition. It was made entirely in English. His first listener was his elder sister, with whom Barsky shared all his secrets, and she highly appreciated his talent, inviting him to speak to the rest of the family at the celebration of the next celebration. Mom and brother also positively accepted the first song of Nikolai Bortnik, and this performance became his starting point into the world of the big stage. In subsequent years, relatives constantly asked Max to be "live music" at every holiday. nine0005
Max has since become convinced that music is what he wants to do. The creative biography of Max Barsky, however, was not easy: the family could not afford additional vocal lessons. Therefore, young Kolya, having decided to help his mother, got a part-time job - he distributed leaflets, advertised a cosmetics company, and at eighteen he became a waiter.
After graduating from school in Kherson, Nikolai Bortnik moved to the capital in order to find his place in the sun. Together with him, his future girlfriend, Misha Romanova, moved to Kyiv, with whom they had just graduated from the art lyceum. Despite the insistent recommendations of relatives who advised him to enter the Academy of Internal Affairs, the future singer chose the Kyiv Municipal Academy of Variety and Circus Arts. The talented young man was easily accepted into the ranks of students after successfully passing the exams and listening. nine0005

...however, he is not inclined to talk about his personal life to journalists
The career and work of Max Barskikh
in the competition "Star Factory". In the qualifying round, he managed to impress the members of the commission with his vocals and dance moves, which he mastered at home, training on music videos of popular artists.
During the first performance, he called himself his new pseudonym, leaving the name Nikolai Bortnik for those closest to him. The first thing the jury members noticed was how Maxim, then an unknown performer who came to the show with several covers of popular artists (Britney Spears, Maroon 5), behaved on stage. He did not feel embarrassed at all, he fascinated with his outrageous behavior and riveted the eyes with his interaction with the public. nine0005
While the "Star Factory" lasted, the singer managed to write several of his own songs, which almost immediately after the release became top in the country's hit parades. At the "Factory" Max managed to meet Alan Badoev, who later became his producer.
Since 2009, Natalya Mogilevskaya has been his musical agent, who immediately noticed a talented young man at the competition - together they released the artist's first solo album. Some of the songs of Mogilevskaya and Max Barsky were filmed a little later.
nine0005
Max did not make it to the end of the "Star Factory" contest - during one of the performances right on the stage, he tried to commit suicide, dedicating this extraordinary act to his beloved - Svetlana Loboda, who did not reciprocate the young man. Subsequently, journalists began to consider this a PR move that attracted the attention Max Barsky needed to his person, biography and personal life. Maxim left the Star Factory, justifying his decision by the fact that he had outgrown the competition and now wanted to start his own career. nine0005
Compositions from the first disc, bright choreography and non-standard, uninhibited behavior of the performer on stage attracted many fans. In the list of admirers of Barsky's talent, the majority are mostly girls who follow all the news in the biography of Max Barsky.
2010 was one of the most fruitful years in the musician's career.
A new stage began in the biography of Max Barskikh: he declared himself as an actor, appearing in the musical novel "Mademoiselle Zhivago" - he got a romantic character in love, which Barskikh authentically embodied on the screen. On the set, he managed to work in the company of the famous performer Lara Fabian, who played the main female role in the novel. nine0005
After the overwhelming success of Max Barsky, another triumph awaited in his biography. In 2011, he released the song "Losing", the video clip for which became the first in the post-Soviet space, made in 3D. Then the performer was talked about not only in Ukraine, but throughout Europe.
Max Barskikh admitted that the pseudonym allowed him to get rid of self-doubt and become a different person.
social networks
Indeed, the uninhibited Max Barskikh has little in common with Nikolai Bortnik. nine0005
Max began to rapidly win the hearts of fans and colleagues - he managed to receive several significant awards, as well as try his hand at the international Eurovision Song Contest, where Max Barskikh performed his song.
That year, he failed to snatch the victory - he lost a few points to Gaitana.
Barsky's most popular album is "Mists", which combines the hit of the same name and the song "Girlfriend-Night", which is especially appreciated by fans of Max's work.
