Peta Murgatroyd Reveals She Suffered Miscarriage While Husband Maks Was in Ukraine | PEOPLE
/ people
I can’t understand why people think it’s ok to ask the baby/pregnancy timeline question. IT IS NOT OK. In this day and age, MANY women have fertility issues and you just don’t know who, or how it is affecting them, what effect your question can have on somebody going through infertility. I wanted to scream every time people asked me or told me to have a second baby!!! It took me 8 years to get pregnant with my one and only, and it just never happened again! Did I wanted to?? YES! could I???? NO! Please!!! STOP ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS!!!
Not just this day and age past too
The beginning of this video is so important. No matter how much you think you may “know” a celebrity, you simply just DON’T. And it’s why it is so important to lead with kindness and compassion.
Love these two....so, so sad that they're having to go through all of this. Peta is such a warrior and for her to be able to share this journey with us and ultimately with those who need to know they're not alone in their journeys is a beautiful gift. Of course, this is happening to Maks also, in its own way, and they're truly blessed to have such a loving and supportive life with each other. 😍🙏
I lost a baby last year & I always find myself thinking "I would have an infant right now if things had been different." My 4 year old begs for a sibling almost daily. Everytime she asks for a brother or asks why I haven't had another baby, it's like a little dagger to my heart. Same thing when strangers ask why I only have 1. I completely understand, Peta. You never know what other women have been through. ❤️
Thank you for sharing Peta! I know it’s hard. My husband and I had several miscarriages and 4.5 yeas of infertility before we got pregnant with our double rainbow baby via IVF. It’s a tough road, but hang in there. If it’s God’s will and timing, it will happen!
Thank you for sharing your story Peta. I too have experienced a miscarriage and it was the hardest thing I have ever been through. You are not alone.
Peta we had trouble conceiving and we decided to adopt … This was back in the sixties I totally forgot about even trying to get pregnant… When we went to adopt we signed papers for a baby boy … On our way home I was sick I found out later I was pregnant I truly believe it’s clearly a mental issue too ….I went on to have six children and each one is a miracle …It will happen I wish you all the best 🥰😍😘
I am so very Peta had to go through all of this and especially on her own, alone and afraid. We as women have to start taking control of our bodies and speak out and up for help. We should not have to suffer in silence or beg for help and answers. I wish her and Max only the very best. And a new little one, too.
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍
I LOVE THEM! Since the very 1st DWTS, I've loved them. Peta, THANK YOU for sharing your journey. I, too, experience a miscarriage at the end of my 5th month, so I totally know how you feel. THANK YOU Maks for loving and supporting her. Fathers need support too, so please take time for yourself. You both are AMAZING and you are in my prayers! Shai is SO ADORABLE. Can't wait to see him on the dance floor.🤩
I love them and their relationship as a family is incredible. I hope and pray health and success in expanding their beautiful family.
I can relate. I had 4 miscarriages/5 babies lost. But there was no such diagnosis for my generation. Peta & Maks will have another child if & when GOD determines. Take time to take care of yourself & each other. GOD BLESS!
How powerful, vulnerable, and inspiring! Wishing you and your family lots of luck for a safe and successful pregnancy 🧡
Continue Blessings for the future. Thank you for sharing your story. 🙏🙏🙏
May God bless the family to do what is best for the family. I wish them all the best 👍🏾 👌🏾 😍 🥰. May God bless them to have another child 🙏🏾 ❤️
My heart hurt during PETA’s story. I lost 5 babies due to miscarriages. I had people tell me I was never meant to have a baby and to “get over it and move on”. I today have a son in the military as a Major and a pilot… and heading down tomorrow to be there my second grandchild!!! We all have our threshold and may decide when to not go through another pregnancy, but if someone decides to keep trying, it is their choice as a couple. Be kind to each other, we are all going through hidden things. Be that person that gives someone a little support with a smile!
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍
I’m so sorry you have gone through this. I’m so thankful that I never had a miscarriage. If it’s meant to be for you and Max to have another child, it will happen. I wish all the best to you.
Peta, so sad to hear what you have gone through. I was diagnosed with classic PCOS back in 1985. I had every symptom of PCOS. It’s a horrible syndrome to have inherited. Mentally and emotionally it’s tough to deal with and physically of course. It sounds like IVF will be the answer for you to have everything closely monitored. Best of luck and good wishes being sent your way for a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby to soon be in your arms. ❤️
Dealing with PCOS since i was 15 (26 now) and it is so grueling. A chronic illness that no one notices because you don’t “look” sick but it sure is a daily struggle.
To Sharon, I know exactly what you mean. I was 14 and wondering why I had this and none of my friends did. It only got worse as the years went on. I know two other women with it that I met when I was in my 30’s. Depression goes along with it with all of us. All the covering up about it. The shame when it’s not our fault.
I will never understand why people feel the need to ask someone when they're going to have a baby, on a constant basis. That is nobody's business, you don't know if somebody's having fertility problems. It's so insensitive and intrusive.
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍
Thank you so much for sharing your story. This is something that is simply not spoken about and it is so deeply painful and multi-faceted! I have had three miscarriages and a 12 year journey and we stopped because it is too much … I will never be a mother and it has been a very lonely road filled with shame and so forth. However, I am thankful for every day and I am so glad that time has softened my pain. Don’t get me wrong, it’s something that I will always have sadness about. Anyhow! I feel for all the people out there that have suffered through such difficult experiences and loss. And thank you to Peta for sharing because it has helped me and I am sure many others, as well. It truly is helpful for others to “see” you and hear you. On Mother’s Day each year, my best friend tells me that she sees me … and that means the world. Many blessings to Peta and Max on their journey and to everyone out there 💗
So sorry you had to go through this and people get into other peoples business and like you said you don’t know what’s going on in their lives. God bless you.
Having lost a baby also then being diagnosed with PCOS, I understand what Peta went through. I can’t imagine having 3 miscarriages though. After I lost mine, I thought I could go back to work but I just couldn’t. I was depressed for a long while, understandably.
I also took shots to get pregnant again & after 6 years we finally had another baby. After that, I decided I wasn’t going to worry about getting pregnant again & if it happened, great. It did, twice.
I wish the best for anyone in this tough situation. You are not alone.
Good luck Max & PETA 👍. PCOS is heartbroken to go through as a woman. You both have lots of supportive ladies encouraging you.
People are so inappropriate. I’ve never understood why people ask these questions…
Love you guys, so sorry you’ve had to go thru all of this. You have a great love between you and that is so precious. Peta, big hug... you’ve gone thru so much, praying for you. I love how positive you are. Im so glad you have this weight off your shoulders (and why do you look so stunningly gorgeous at all times?? It's unfair... lol). I wish all good things for you and your family. 🦋💜🙏
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍
So sick of people harassing others for not having babies.. wtf is wrong with people?
Thank you for telling your story, for being a beautiful person,woman, mother, wife, and for being perfectly imperfect just like the rest of us and for giving us the permission to be ok with that! Praying that God blesses you with a new addition soon! xoxo
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍
My favorite dancers. Love them. Sorry for your loss.
it is none of other people’s business if and when you have a child
How can someone ask a woman 'how could she not have more children'?!
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍
You have a beautiful family!! I am 62 years old and I have been married for 41 years. During my child bearing years I had 5 miscarriages. We had our 2 sons with no problems. Then over the next 8 1/2 years I had 4 miscarriages before giving birth to our only daughter. When our oldest son was 19, our second son was 17, and our daughter was 9, I had my 5th miscarriage.. Fast forward to present day. Our second son's wife has PCOS and endometriosis. They know all too well the struggles of getting pregnant and having miscarriages. It took them 6 years to get their first son, and he is now 8 years old. And just a week ago, their 2nd son, a true miracle baby entered the world 5 weeks early. He is 5 pounds of pure tiny perfection!! He didn't even spend one day in the NICU!! He spent one night under the bilirubin lights for jaundice. But he was released from the hospital 2 days after being born. Another miracle was that he came from her most damaged ovary, that had a chunk taken out of it during a previous surgery. The doctors said that, that ovary would not ovulate on a regular basis, and that it only had a 10% chance of releasing good eggs from that ovary!! And lo and behold, that is the ovary that produced our tiny miracle!! Our entire extended family literally prayed him here. We have been praying for them to have another baby for years!! Our prayers for years went something like this: "Dear Heavenly Father, if it will be thy will, can Ryan & Jenny please have another child. And can JJ please have a sibling. Ryan & Jenny are great parents, and we know that JJ would be such a great big brother. But thy will be done!!" Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. And ours were answered a week ago. Don't give up!! I do believe you will have another child. And I totally agree with you. Our husbands are in this with us. And when we experience loss, they are experiencing loss, and grief and sadness too!! The difference is that they are trying to be strong for us because we as women, are the ones who are going through the physical part of it. Sending prayers for your cute family!! I have been a fan of DWTS for years!! I love everything that you are doing for Ukraine!! ❤️🙏
Thier story told very well. They have a beautiful, strong family.
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍
Please please do more of these. I absolutely love vids like this from ya.
What? OMG so sorry, you are a strong woman, that's why Maks married you, I love you both, best wishes always you two are my favorite Dancers. ❤🙏✌
Love you for sharing this
I am shocked that she was able to push through the physical pain of the miscarriage and go to work. I remember being in such physical pain for seven days afterwards. It was worse than actually giving birth. Adding them in my prayers 🙏.
Spread the message god will bless u maks and shya 🙏🙏❤️
I love how consistent and yet so different every episode is:
I love them. I am wishing all the best for them. This can be a trying time and I am glad they are talking about this. Many people go through this. Stay strong. It will happen when it is meant to be. .
Sorry to hear about peta's miscarriage. Must have been painful. Bless her and her family. 💕💕
Thank you for sharing your story. Shai looks just like his daddy. Prayers for the both of you
Sending good vibes your way ❤️
Awe so sorry Love this family..God bless
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍
Oh, how I understand! Kudos to you, Peta, for bring attention to this! ❤️
So very sad. 😔
I completely empathize having also experienced these circumstances.
I must say, though ....
I'm skeptical regarding one thing~
It almost seems it was a coverup when stating
"I tested negative to get on a plane."
Why would no one be able to come help Peta at home if she'd tested negative for Covid ?
I experienced Covid, and on the 7th day, I tested negative.
Once negative, I also had severe cold symptoms and complete fatigue.
Having tested negative, though, people could then be in the vicinity to assist if necessary.
So it really makes zero sense that Peta says no one could come in to help her at home.
I feel quite sad for ALL they have experienced with miscarriages and the virus.
May God bring comfort and healing.🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing and bringing awareness to this topic.
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍
Wishing them great blessings, They deserve it!❤️
Love Maks and so glad you have the little one, now 4, and most likely another will follow with the method you chose.
I love you and ur family 👪 ❤ it's perfect just like it is.... don't listen to negative people who don't even have a clue about u ur husband and ur lives.... ur family is soo stunning and so r you 💖.....love Lisa
Ladies and gentlemen, can we please stop pushing our desires of what we want in our lives to others? The whole "how can you not want this..." question crosses so many boundaries. Does it matters why a person might not want it, they might just not.
Peta, you are a wonderful strong woman who I admire!
People ask women the most stupid questions about having another child as if they would congratulations or feel happy or help when you have another child 🙄
Struggling to have a baby is a miserable journey. When I went through it, there was very little information. I was never given a clear diagnosis. No piece of paper. I understand exactly why that's so important. It's your key to either accept that there won't be more or a road map to number two. I wish you all the best.
It's so sad that people think they could say these horrible comments to people. It's their choice to expand their family or not.
It literally is

Thanks for sharing your story.
I love you guys and hope nothing but the best.
Good for them! All the blessings
Please internalize for your own emotional well being. It's nobody's business how (what, where, when, why) you grow your family. The exception is if sharing helps to heal your grief. 💓
Ohhhh❤
Such a nice couple. ❤❤
I’m lucky to be very fertile. Got pregnant with our son & daughter both on the first try. In between, I had an anembryotic pregnancy and needed a d&c -my body didn’t miscarry on it’s own. I didn’t want to do it again, I said I was done but after 4 months I knew I wanted one more. My husband and I are both sterile now.
You are an amazing woman. Thank you for speaking out.
What a wonderful family!!
I take the important message is it is not ok to ask baby/timeline questions
Many blessings to you both 🙏💓 love you both as dancers & people
Hope you’re blessed with another beautiful baby soon!! ♥️
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍
People should mind their own business about family size, especially when it’s couched in terms of when and not if. We don’t know anybody’s situation. And why is it wrong to only have one kid or to have none at all? Yes, asking if they want more kids is fine because no assumptions, but everything else, no. Also, fertility doesn’t necessarily have to do anything with the rest of your health profile. Also, if there are several miscarriages in a row, someone should see a healthcare provider for further testing if they want to try again to see if there are genetic or other factors.
Ever since he married her ...he is a changed man. Yes a Man...love these two!
They are both awesome! My favorites!
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍
What a beautiful couple❤
Most special amazing inspiring remarkable unbelievable couple and I am so sorry for your miscarriage you are so strong blessing angel and amazing inspiring remarkable unbelievable and best couple and so brave encouragement course honesty xoxo 🙏🏻🥺❤️

Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍
Sending my love to u n your wonderful family peta
Sorry to hear that Peta Murgatroyd trying to get over a miscarriage husband and Peta can always try again
It’s not always that easy. Did you watch the video?
Sorry to hear that she went through a miscarriage but thank God that you're doing fine
ANYONE judging what they think others should be doing need to just stop. Even public figures don't, nor should be expected to, share every detail of their lives. We don't know what's happening. Having said that, miscarriages are the 2nd worst experience, short only of stillbirth or death of a child at any age. And frankly there's not a lot of distance between miscarriages and stillbirth. I know. I've experienced both.
I appreciate their, especially Peta's willingness and bravery to talk about reproduction health. Especially now. It's never an easy topic. So many women feel shame, as she said she did. Or feel they have failed in some way. I know I did. So hopefully by more people being able and willing to talk about their experiences, all women will hopefully understand it's NOT THEM. As in its not something they chose. They also aren't in some tiny percentile of "failure" in a world full of perfect pregnancies. That percentage is much larger than anyone believes.
Wow people are mean!!!!!!!!!
Praying she will have a healthy baby!🙏🙏
Hopefully you will be pregnant with another baby and make it full term. I pray for happy ending- with joy so much joy.
Love them both
Best Luck in future to have more children
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍..
Good luck to you and Mak’s and your family. 🙏❤️
Empathy ❤️❤️🙌🙌
she will see her children that she lost again in heaven...they are waiting for her🕊💕
I really love u n your family
How heartbreaking for this family! There is no shame, or blame in miscarriage, except that which belongs to the unkind people who project their reproductive choices onto others. Stop doing this! PERIOD
Your son is gorgeous!
God Bless you I hope for the best for you .
Hello how are you doing?

It no one business if u decide to have anymore children.
That's horrible, but the point was when he was in Ukraine, his home Country during this war he made it about himself and only himself. His own people were dying and his videos were about how hard it was getting home. Not helping his Countrymen like you saw men leaving their families behind to go fight for their Country. I like Peta, and this is tragic, but the tragedy that is still happening there we have to put in perspective.
Okay
She took the money from her sister and mom
Pretty people tend to have sex like rabbits in heat. I could never get that "lucky" and it took me a lifetime to figure out it mainly comes down to "good looks".
So sorry Peta and Max🤗💞🙏God Bless you both. Was this after you or Max had the Vax??? Please get the MD literature on the serious side effects of the C vax.
Hello how are you doing?
WOW you look so adorable 😍..
