"DWTS" pro couple Peta Murgatroyd & Maksim Chmerkovskiy are doing what they do best — dancing! 

It is common knowledge that the lovebirds connected through their passion for dancing back in 2012 after the Australian ballroom dancer broke up with Damian Whitewood. But a heavily pregnant Murgatroyd hitting the right moves was not what we were expecting.  

Early this year, the two revealed they were expecting their second child. However, being pregnant is not slowing down the pro dancer, who showed off her growing baby bump as she and her hubby danced together in a sweet clip posted on her social media page.

On the other hand, the Ukrainian native joined his wife, styling in a black T-shirt with orange lettering, dark pants with white lettering by the side, and a teal cap. The pair went through a series of moves and smashed it. They bucked their hips and turned their stomachs when performing the synchronized routine. The upload was captioned:

"Oh we're in it! Finally!!! Come on!!! 1) It's funny that we waited until @petamurgatroyd is fully pregnant to start dancing here, [pregnant woman emoji. 2) If you know @maksimc you know he REALLY did NOT want to be part of this, but if you actually know him you'll be able to see the exact move that changed his mind [emoji with tongue out] What is Maks's favorite body part to move? What trendy dance should we do next?"

Last month, the "Dancing with the Stars" competitor flaunted her baby bump and preached body positivity. The Blast noted that she was in good spirits as she swayed to Stevie Wonder's song.

In the clip, Murgatroyd gave a side profile of her pregnant belly and placed both hands on her head. The mother of one flashed her followers a huge smile, but before the video ended, she pulled up her cream-colored cardigan and rubbed her bump.

Her glowing skin shined through her perfectly slammed face and tresses trapped beneath a black cap. The post was captioned, "It's funny how this pregnancy is so different with nerves and anxiety, yet I'm more confident than ever with my body."
