Pregnant Peta Murgatroyd Shares 'Sneaky' Experience With Paparazzi: 'Let A Girl Live'

Peta Murgatroyd is experiencing her fair share of paparazzi attention!

Every celebrity knows what it feels like to be stalked by camera-wielding people, and some even take steps to prevent it. The expectant mother is no stranger to media attention, especially after announcing her second pregnancy; however, she is still in awe of their skills for getting candid pictures and the extent to which it seems they are willing to go for a shot.

The star took to her Instagram story to express her amusement over pictures obtained by the paps when she went to get pastries. She noted she was "caught red-handed" getting croissants and an avocado toast she described as healthy. The dancer's problem was that they specified that she "got a bunch of pastries," adding, "Let a girl live, come on!" before asking them to stay away from her son. 

Still not over the experience, she stated in the following slide, "and honestly, they're so sneaky. Like I have no idea how they know where I am." She pointed out that it was strange because she did not consider herself a big celebrity who would be used to being followed by them from home.

She noted that although they had done that before, it was still not normal how they knew she would be at the pastry shop early in the morning. "Are you just waiting in the car for somebody that you might remotely think is somebody to pop out?" she asked. 

The "DWTS" pro noted that the pictures they got of her always looked unappealing because they would capture her trying to figure out who was pointing a camera at her and not have time to be ready for a shot. 

She pointed out that the images always looked awful as she wrote at the bottom of the clip, "Its mind boggling to me …" She ended her tirade by posting the problematic snap in another slide which showed her dressed in fitted gray gym wear consisting of a workout bra and leggings.

She paired it with a flannel shirt under a fleece coat to keep the cold at bay, alongside black sunglasses and a pair of white socks and sneakers. She held onto the pastries in one hand and a to-go coffee cup in the other as she called out a publication, writing, "I love how Daily Mail had to specify that I bought pastries 😂🙈." 

The dancer, who already shares a boy, Shai, with her husband, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, showed off her baby bump in a cute video while passing along an empowering message. The Blast shared that being pregnant, even after trying and failing for a few years, is not stopping her from flaunting her miracle baby. 

The new clip came weeks after her pregnancy announcement and saw her dancing to Stevie Wonder's 1976 hit single, "Isn't She Lovely." Swaying along to the beat, she gave a look of her bump from the side as she placed both hands on her head.

The professional dancer then flashed a dimpled smile and ran her hand down to her belly before pulling up her cream-colored cardigan to rub it. She wrote, "It's funny how this pregnancy is so different with nerves and anxiety, yet I'm more confident than ever with my body."

Despite experiencing a failed IVF procedure and multiple miscarriages, the Latin pro dancer was finally able to conceive. Instead of staying idle out of fear, she has taken to sharing her workout sessions in the gym, per The Blast.

Despite her previous issues, Murgatroyd seems more committed to keeping up her strict exercise regime. The 36-year-old posted a reel to her Instagram page showing her in the gym, engaged in several workouts as the song "Escapism" by RAYE, 070 Shake, played in the background.

While the "Dancing With The Stars" pro trained on several of the equipment, she wrote in the caption, "Come workout with me 💪🏻 As promised, here is the workout I did today with @larrywillis89."

She then listed the moves from their session before concluding with, "Try this, and I promise you will feel the burn 🔥," adding, "Love you guys! Xo. Who's trying this with me? 😝."
