Peta Murgatroyd and Maksim Chmerkovskiy Trade Los Angeles for Florida

The move to Boca has transformed the couple’s daily rhythm. Murgatroyd pointed to the region’s layout as a major draw, noting that the proximity of schools, sports facilities, and everyday amenities within a five-minute drive offers a level of ease she struggled to find in Los Angeles. This shift toward convenience has allowed for a more integrated neighborhood experience, where her children frequently engage in spontaneous playdates with local peers.

While the departure from their longtime home was emotionally taxing, Murgatroyd expressed relief at the warm reception their family received. The relocation has also brought the pair closer to Chmerkovskiy’s parents, who moved to the same area independently. As Murgatroyd focuses on her recovery following the birth of their third son earlier this year, she remains committed to this new chapter, noting that the adjustment has been seamless for their children. The decision to step away from the demanding schedule of Dancing with the Stars for the current season serves as a further commitment to this period of domestic stability.
