The couple welcomed Rio on Father's Day, sharing in a post that he was born weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces and was \"thriving.\"

Murgatroyd shared an update on how things were going via her Instagram story on Friday. \"Life is very good, guys,\" she said. \"We're just in absolute heaven. Baby bliss.\"

The couple also joked this week that shortly after welcoming their newest bundle of joy Chmerkovskiy was already itching to have another.

\"My husband right after I gave birth,\" reads the caption on the Instagram video, which features Chmerkovskiy wondering if they need a third kid and Murgatroyd hilariously looking confused and over it.
