Maks & Val Chmerkovskiy: Dancing, Dad Life, & Drinking Wine (... all at once)

Brothers, dancers, and dads Val and Maks Chmerkovskiy join Kaitlyn in today’s episode to talk about… well… being brothers, dancers, and dads! These two grew up sharing bunk beds until their 20s, experiencing life vicariously through each other, and now are raising kids (two of which are approximately the same age) which begs some important questions: Was this planned, and is dancing in the blood? They explain how their relationships with dance has evolved over the years and what they predict for their kids’ future with the sport.
Now, these two brothers are onto yet another adventure together as they star in their show SAVOR After Hours, a one-of-kind theatrical cabaret-style and dance infused wine tasting show in Napa Valley! And of course, they’re each sharing a confession, with Maks opening up about his history as the bad boy of Dancing with the Stars and Val sharing a shameful parenting experience.

I just started watching DWTS again for first time in many years and all of my teenage GUSHING love for Maks came right back 😂😂😂 I’ve been KZbining his videos ugh there is just something about that man for me 😍😍😍🤪

Nice dancers DWTS interview! This is amazing! Kaitlyn, you should do a podcast with Britt Stewart and Daniel Durant to talk about this! I think people find it very interesting.

[@GYSMelanie5]

I love them both so much! What an incredible family they are and have! Thank you for having them on!

OMG opening YT and seeing these guys on your pod today made my day. Maks was a favourite of mine on DWTS for years. I love watching them dance, but love seeing this new chapter of their lives.

​@@Colourfulskixx probably late reply but she won with Artem not Alan❤😅

[@Roma-SRyan]

in case anyone is wondering, Artem and Val have/had beef. While Maks was stuck in Ukraine during the war, Val was saying nasty things about Russians he knew i.e Artem, who didnt publicly denouce Russia on social media, even though Val didnt denounce Ukraine for finding time to be racists against Africans in the middle of the war. They might have squashed the beef since but Val was a real asshole. Funny how he never had an issue with Russia bombing brown countries but when they bombed a whye country, suddenly hes upset people werent speaking up.

I don't think it's cuz it's a white country I think it's because they're from Ukraine... But still what he was doing and saying isn't right

[@Roma-SRyan]

@@peachxtaehyung surprise surprise another racist defend racism. Val had nothing to say about Ukrainians treated Black residents horribly during the war
