Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd took to social media to announce the gender of their second child on Thursday.

In a joint post shared on social media, the couple - who recently babymooned in Cabo - had their son Shai, 6, hold up a piece of paper with the word 'boy' written on it.

Maksim, 43, and Peta, 36, who are both dancers, put together a dance routine to accompany the announcement.

The twosome, who married in 2017, added a lengthy caption to go with the baby news.

'We’re so elated that Shai will get a baby brother and cannot wait to meet this little guy,' they wrote.

A boy! Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd took to social media to announce the gender of their second child

Peta also joked, 'The Chmerkovskiy’s as a whole are creating their own soccer team LOL!'

And about her baby's growth while inside her belly, she added, 'He is already measuring quite large and loves to kick mummy in the ribs at all hours of the night!'

Peta looked great in the clip as she showed off her burgeoning tummy in a fitted black turtleneck.

It was tucked into a pair of black lounge pants with the waistband rolled over.

She added black socks to her cozy look, and her blonde hair was in loose waves that fell over her chest.

The caption continued, 'Honestly though, when we heard he was fully healthy we both shrieked with joy.

'There is nothing quite like getting that phone call, with the nurses *pause* (ugh it’s awful) before telling you they’re all good results!!'

Maksim, a choreographer from Odesa, Ukraine, was also dressed in black as he donned a t-shirt, shorts, and a backwards baseball cap.

The note went on to say, 'We will have a house FULL of boys, including our little Hachi!'

And the spouses are already thinking about another little one - Peta added, 'I guess this means we have to try for baby number 3 to get that girl.'

It comes after one day earlier the duo posted a clip to get fans excited about Thursday's reveal.

As they often do, they filmed themselves performing a dance number with commentary on the screen.

It read, 'We are having a baby... And everyone is asking about the gender...'

Murgatroyd was dressed in a cream-colored onesie with a collar and buttons down the front.

They instructed viewers, 'If you think it's a boy comment with a [blue heart emoji],' and, 'if you think it's a girl comment with a [pink heart emoji].'

Showing her sense of humor, the beauty captioned the upload: 'When @maksimc and I realized I looked like a Tellytubby we could barely get through this.'

She added a crying laughing emoji before writing, 'But seriously though, [boy] or [girl]?'

Back in February Peta and Maksim took Shai to meet their baby nephew Rome.

Peta took to Instagram to share Polaroid photos with fans and she wrote in her caption, 'Meeting Baby Rome.'

The blonde bombshell called the occasion 'one of the most special nights for our families.'

She added, 'New life, new purpose and new joy!' in the sentimental upload.
