Peta Murgatroyd has her hands full—and so does her 7-month-old son, Shai.
As the Dancing With the Stars pro dished to E!'s Zuri Hall Tuesday night on the Kidnap premiere red carpet, her baby boy is showing his "feisty" colors. As he approaches his 7-month birthday on Friday, it sounds like the little one is well on his way to mastering the art of throwing and pulling.
"He's very cheeky right now," she said of her little guy. "He'll grab the food bowl [and] throw it wherever he can." Of course, such behavior can be expected of an infant who is just trying to figure out his motor skills. Murgatroyd noted that the baby is also standing up. Unfortunately for his mama, Shai has his eye on Peta's hair.
"He ripped out a clump of my hair right here," she told Hall. While "a little tear rolled down," Murgatroyd kept her cool and calmly explained to her son that "mama's hurt." Hey, they don't call it the hardest job in the world for nothing!
While the newly married star was enjoying a solo night on the town, her family wasn't far away from her mind. Meanwhile, husband Maksim Chmerkovskiy was busy on daddy duty. As they finish their first full month of marriage, Murgatroyd revealed not much has changed.
"Many people ask, 'Is it anything different from engaged life?' and not really," she said. "It's just like a heightened sense of love and family and unity." While she did physically change her name, the star plans to keep Murgatroyd for professional endeavors, like whenever she decides to return to the ballroom.
"I want to. I just need to make sure everything suits his needs, suits his schedule. As I said, I want to, so we'll see," she said of returning to Dancing With the Stars. "I'm just being mummy right now...the hardest, biggest job of all."
