Peta and husband Maks Chmerkovskiy welcomed their second son back in June.

The couple welcomed Rio Joy on Father's Day. In an Instagram post announcing the arrival, they shared that he was born weighing 8 pounds, 6 ounces and was "thriving" already."

Although it's only been a few months since baby Rio flowed out, fans already want to know if Peta is ready to do it again.

And the 37-year-old isn't saying no.

During a modified Ask Me Anything event with fans, one person asked bluntly: “Would you want to try for another baby?”

Peta grinned as she held her hand to her temple, and brushed away her hair.

"I would so have another one," she confessed, before tagging on one request: "Hopefully, we get a girl."

The dancer then tapped around the question, backpedaling and clarifying: "If it happens, it happens. That would be amazing."

BIG REVEAL

Shortly after welcoming in the new year, Peta took to Instagram to announce her big news.

She sat on the floor in underwear and an oversized shirt, which was lifted up to show her growing bump.

The other two photos showed her smiling and flaunting her stomach.

"It brings me immense joy to finally announce that @maksimc and I are expecting our Chmerkovskiy #2," she wrote.

"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."

Peta continued: "I want to thank ALL OF YOU who’ve been on this fertility journey with me from the beginning. It feels like I’m sharing this news with my extended family. Thank you for sharing your stories and tips to get me through my IVF cycle and thank you for the plethora of encouraging comments and DM’s …I read them all."

"This news has brought extraordinary bliss to our family and we have so much to be grateful for….coming June 2023."

Just days before his arrival, Peta stripped down and posed in a knelt position completely nude with her baby bump on full display.

She held a pink flower over her breasts and with her other arm, caressed her belly while absolutely glowing.

The pro dancer captioned the bold, pregnancy-embracing post: "Growing you in my belly after 2 and a half years of waiting for you = [pleading emoji, heart emoji, rainbow emoji.]"

"Cherishing these next few days until you’re earthside with us my baby boy."

PAST TROUBLES

Peta and Maks publicly reveavled they had suffered three miscarriages prior to their baby announcement.

"[Shai's] been wanting this for so long and also along the road of the struggles, you know, in the past two years, he has heard me say to him before, 'Mommy's pregnant,' and then I'm not," she recently explained.

"I do feel like there were definitely letdowns for him along the way."

She continued: "'Oh, the egg broke,' I would say. I would try to cover [the miscarriages] up like that, but, yeah, he's really excited."

Peta also told People about the happy turn of events: "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."

After finally taking a test around her "six or seven-week" mark of conceiving, the Peta Jane Beauty founder was shocked.

"I think it was the fastest positive I've ever seen in my life," Murgatroyd, who was almost 18 weeks along, said.

"It just came up super quick and I was just shocked. It's been completely different from my past pregnancy."
