The 43-year-old mentioned the pondering place is "on the side of Cayon Cayon." After that, Chmerkovskiy continued, "Normally, you see the ocean, but every morning, it's like an amazing cloudy place."

"It's like I'm in the cloud, and for me, it's the best way to stay here, reflect and get my day started," he added. Concluding the post, he said, "This is a great moment in my daily routine that no one really knows about."

Speaking of Napa trips, the Latin ballroom champion previously poked fun at his wife, Peta Murgatroyd's raw emotions whenever he had to leave home. At the time, his spouse, also a professional dancer, was weeks away from birthing their second son, Rio John.

The Ukraine native posted an image of them smooching while their first child Shai Aleksander smiled at the camera. He slipped on a black-and-white plaid pack shirt over a black polo shirt with the same color pants and shoes. The six-year-old donned a white round-neck shirt and beige-colored trousers.

Meanwhile, Murgatroyd was dressed in a more comfortable casual outfit consisting of a black top with a plunging neckline, gray joggers, and a pair of Ugg slippers.

In the post's caption, the choreographer divulged that he was attending "Tech Week" in Napa. Afterward, he noted that the little one was "left to hold it down" while he was gone— a task he claims the little one is "taking it literally by holding mommy's belly."

The Ballroom Pro Dancer Loves His Newest Fatherhood Role

No one has been more psyched to be a new father of two than Chmerkovskiy since his wife gave birth to Rio on June 18, which overlapped with this year's Father's Day. He unveiled a photo with his two kids. The newborn was sleeping in his father's arms while his big brother looked on.
