Peta Murgatroyd finally has a bun in the oven!

The "Dancing With the Stars" pro dancer, 36, happily announced the news of her second pregnancy with her 42-year-old husband, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, on Instagram Friday.

Murgatroyd uploaded a series of snaps showing off her growing belly. The expectant mom smiled and posed while donning different outfits that exposed her bump in the photos.

"It brings me immense joy to finally announce that @maksimc and I are expecting our Chmerkovskiy #2 [red heart emoji]," she wrote in the caption.

The TV star continued, "After 2 years of constant struggle and heartache, 3 miscarriages and a failed embryo transfer... we have a healthy bun in the oven :)) It was a shock to all of us and we found out right before I was going in for my second round of IVF."

Her post was met with positive messages from her co-stars on the reality ballroom dancing competition and her fans.

"MY PEETS! I love you so much! Cannot wait for this cute baby #2!! What a blessing," Witney Carson wrote.

"Yay, we can finally tell the world!!! That belly makes me so happy [red heart emoji]. I love you both so much and am so so excited for the little one to arrive," another added.

"Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. I know you wanted one so badly. Good luck," one fan commented.

Murgatroyd's second child is due in June, as confirmed by the New Zealand-born professional Latin dancer. She wrote "coming June 2023" at the end of her post.

The news comes six years after the couple welcomed their first child, son Shai, in January 2017, according to Page Six.

Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy have been open about their pregnancy journey for years. Last October, they admitted to E! News that they were still determined to have a baby even after their failed IVF.

"We still want a family that's bigger than what we are. We are still going to continue attempts, and we'll see what happens," Chmerkovskiy said at the time.

In an exclusive interview with People released this week, Murgatroyd revealed that their second pregnancy happened naturally without the help of science and technology.

"All natural, it happened. I didn't even know I was pregnant for so long until I was really feeling sick. I danced through 'Dancing With the Stars' with it. I started feeling weird, started feeling a little bit sick and a little bloated, and I didn't want to test for weeks," she told the outlet.
