Maksim Chmerkovskiy Reveals If He'll Return For DWTS Season 25

It’s been a question of ‘will he’ or ‘won’t he’ for Maksim Chmerkovskiy‘s return to Dancing With The Stars.

During season 23 and 24, everyone was surprised that not only did Maks return to the show, but wife Peta Murgatroyd did too following the birth of their son, Shai Alexander.

Now that season 25 is coming up shortly, we’re all waiting anxiously for the pro dancer announcement and to see if Maks‘ name is on the roster.

Speaking with IB Times, Maks shared, “Before this was always a million-dollar question, ‘Will Maks return?’ But now it’s not, it’s more of a domestic issue.”

He adds, “I figure things out on my behalf, and Peta has a team that she consults with, and so they figure out stuff as well. But we obviously prioritize Shai, and it’s important to both of us to make sure that our time with him is not is not being cut into. It’s one of my main things that I want to be around all the time, and I see all the things that happen.”

Here’s hoping he’ll be back! The pro announcement will be made this week — so stay tuned!
