“I would like to start (having kids) pretty soon,” she previously told People magazine after the engagement. “A little boy, and then a little girl.”

Maksim added, “I’m not just looking forward to the next 20 years. I’m looking forward to the 20 years after that, when the kids are out of the house and it’s just the two of us again… I can’t wait.”

The dancer announced their engagement on Instagram by posting a photograph of him down on one knee in front of Peta as she covers her mouth with her hands in shock. In the caption, he wrote, “She said yes”.

The couple has been dating on and off for three years.

That’s not the only good news for Peta – she won the U.S. reality TV show with deaf model Nyle DiMarco on Tuesday night (24May16). The win marks her second time lifting the Mirror Ball trophy after landing first place with American footballer Donald Driver in 2012.
