The couple, who first dated in 2012, got engaged in December 2015, and had their first child in January 2016. Chmerkovskiy's former Dancing with the Stars partner, Meryl Davis, witnessed the proposal and congratulated the couple on Twitter, calling them beautiful souls. However, it is unclear whether Davis attended Chmerkovskiy and Murgatroyd's wedding.

Meryl Davis, an Olympic gold medalist ice dancer and former Dancing with the Stars partner of Maksim Chmerkovskiy, congratulated him and Peta Murgatroyd on their engagement. She took to Twitter to share her thoughts, calling the couple beautiful souls and describing the proposal as "beautiful". Davis also won season 18 of Dancing with the Stars with Chmerkovskiy, and their chemistry on the dance floor sparked speculation that they were dating. However, Chmerkovskiy later described their relationship as a "showmance".

Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy first dated for about 10 months in 2012 and 2013 and rekindled their romance in 2015. They got engaged in December 2015, and the proposal took place onstage at the SWAY: A Dance Trilogy event in Miami, in front of fellow pro dancers and past celebrity contestants, including Davis. The couple tied the knot in July 2017 at Oheka Castle on Long Island, New York, in a Jewish ceremony. They are parents to a son named Shai, who was born in January 2017.

Meryl Davis attended Maks and Peta's wedding

Meryl Davis witnessed the engagement of Maksim "Maks" Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd in December 2015. Maks proposed to Peta at the end of a Sway show in Miami, in front of fellow pro dancers and past celebrity contestants. Meryl was in attendance as she stars in Sway alongside the couple.

Meryl and Maks had previously won season 18 of Dancing with the Stars together. Their partnership was notable for its chemistry, sparking speculation that they were dating in real life. However, Meryl denied this in a post-win interview, and Maks described their relationship as a "showmance". Despite this, the pair remained close, with Meryl telling Glamour that she talks to Maks a lot because of their "different type of partnership".

Maks and Peta tied the knot on July 8, 2017, at Oheka Castle in Long Island, New York. The wedding was a Jewish ceremony attended by 300 guests, including DWTS pros and former contestants. It is unknown whether Meryl attended the wedding, but given her close relationship with the couple, it is possible that she was present.

Meryl Davis and Maks Chmerkovskiy's relationship

Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were partners on season 18 of Dancing With the Stars. They had a magnetic partnership and won the show. They were the subject of romance rumours, with judge Carrie Ann Inaba even declaring, "I think the two of you should get married." However, Davis denied that they were dating in a post-win interview with Glamour. Chmerkovskiy has since married fellow Dancing With the Stars pro Peta Murgatroyd, with whom he shares a son. Chmerkovskiy and Davis remained friends after their season ended, with Chmerkovskiy telling Glamour that Davis was the partner he spoke to most often. He also said that he would be including her in his dance show SWAY.

Meryl Davis' friendship with Peta

Meryl Davis and Maksim Chmerkovskiy first met on the set of Dancing With the Stars, where they were partnered together in season 18. They went on to win the season, and their chemistry on the show sparked dating rumours. However, Davis denied these rumours, telling Glamour magazine:

> "We obviously became incredibly close during the show and sort of coming away from that experience where we were no longer spending every day together, it was interesting to sort of continue to grow our friendship in a different capacity...I absolutely love him, and he's an incredible person. We have this friendship that I have no doubt in my mind is a life-long friendship. Getting a chance to know him away from training for Dancing With the Stars, I think we've gotten a chance to know each other in a different way, which of course just makes you closer."

Davis and Chmerkovskiy have stayed in touch since their season of Dancing With the Stars, and she has remained friends with both him and his now-wife, Peta Murgatroyd. Davis was present when Chmerkovskiy proposed to Murgatroyd in 2015, and she attended their wedding in 2017.

Meryl Davis' presence in the couple's dance show Sway

Meryl Davis was a prominent presence in Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd's dance show Sway. Chmerkovskiy, who had won season 18 of Dancing with the Stars with Davis as his partner, included her in Sway, which he described as blurring "the lines between conventional ballroom, live theatre, and other dance genres".

Davis and Chmerkovskiy performed their Argentine Tango and Rumba routines from Dancing with the Stars at Sway, to the delight of the fans gathered. Chmerkovskiy had promised to deliver "Maks and Meryl magic" at Sway, and it seems they did not disappoint.

Davis also performed on the ice with her skating partner, Charlie White, at the "Shall We Dance on Ice" event, which took place the day before Sway. The pair danced their Argentine Tango routine from the final performance night of Dancing with the Stars, with some changes in the choreography.

The presence of Davis at Sway fuelled more speculation about a relationship between her and Chmerkovskiy, as they were photographed with their arms around each other at the Sway meet and greet. However, neither has ever admitted anything about a romantic relationship.
