Val Chmerkovskiy Will Actually Never Change His Name - Here's Why

Val Chmerkovskiy Will Actually Never Change His Name - Here's Why

Val Chmerkovskiy speaks with his hands in this new pic from his appearance on Build Series in New York City on Wednesday afternoon (March 7).

The 31-year-old dancer and author opened up about his new book, “I’ll Never CHange His Name” and why he titled it so.

“Chmerkovskiy will never sound less foreign,” Val explains. “But it doesn’t make me less American.”

He continues, “Within the conversation of immigration right now, I wanted to tell a story that reflected the fact that I never felt entitled in my life…not one single day of being in this country. I’ve only felt gratitude.”

“That motivated me to succeed in the way that I did.”

Val‘s new book is out everywhere now.
