DWTS Peta Murgatroyd, Maks Chmerkovksiy, Julianne Hough, Brooks Laich Wedding Dates And Details
We finally have some wedding dates for Peta Murgatroyd & Maks Chmerkovksiy’ and Julianne Hough & Brooks Laich. And guess what? They are on the same day. From Life & Style Magazine…
Peta exclusively tells Life & Style that their wedding celebration will be July 7, 8 and 9. “It’s a big three days. I’m super excited about it,” says Peta, noting the wedding itself is July 8, which is the same day DWTS judge Julianne chose to get hitched.
Julianne set her date first, but Peta, 30, and Maks, 37, didn’t know about it. “It just so happened that Peta and Maks chose the same date,” the source continues.
The conflict is forcing co-stars and the DWTS crew to choose between weddings. “You have to be either Team Hough or Team Peta and Maks,” the source notes. “There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes drama.”
Though Julianne hasn’t publicly revealed where she’ll swap vows, she’s blogged that “a destination wedding would make sense,” pondering a vineyard, ranch or tropical island, making it impossible for guests to attend both.
Sad how those attending will have to choose, but, I bet both weddings will be spectacular. More at Life & Style Magazine. Thanks to Lori for the find.
Ironic that even when there’s nothing to fight over, somehow the universe conspires to pit the Family vs. the Hough/Ballas.
Yep! Isn’t that something? Unreal!
Hmmm…maybe that is why Val unfollowed Emma, Lindsay & Witney on IG. All 3 have decided to attend the Hough wedding instead of the Chmerkovskiy wedding. J/K, I know there is no rhyme or reason for that. But Val is not actually known for rhyme or reason, so….

So weird. Cue the Twilight Zone music….
Hmmm Julianne might not be happy about thst date reveal…
Sorry, but I’m gonna have to start calling Peta “Petty Murgatroyd” because I’m having a really hard time believing that she had absolutely NO IDEA that Julianne’s wedding was on the 8th when she set her date – this seems like a calculated, dick move. Basically, one right out the Chmerkovskiy playbook. You’re gonna fit in GREAT, Peta!
And just watch – once again, the minute fans start commenting on this, the Chmermafia is going to accuse fans of “starting a war” between the Ballas/Houghs & The Chmerkovskiys…when in reality, they’re fanning the flames just fine by themselves.
@Darlene — I remember there being talk that the reason Val unfollowed Emma, Wit, and Lindsay was because it was right around the time he and Jenna started dating again for the 50th time and people speculated maybe they tried to heed her from that. This was after his public fling with Amber and after her blog posts claiming she was in an unhealthy relationship recently. No idea if it’s true of course…Val doesn’t have a reason for a lot of the things he does.
Yeah..why would you pick the SAME date to get married as Julianne. I agree Courtney. I have a hard time believing that Peta had no idea Julianne had already chosen July 8th 2017. Julianne and Brooks got engaged before Peta and Maks did, IIRC.
Why I am not shocked about it. If all the pros this season are going to one of the wedding, i assume that “Team Hough” will be Witney,Emma,Sasha,Lindsay and Kim
“Team Chmerkovskiy” Val and Sharna. I don’t know where to place Artem, Keo and Gleb.
Greetings from Germany
Maybe it is just my imagination, but I feel that Peta has changed a lot since being back together with Maks. I am 110% NOT a Maks fan, so I might be a bit biased in my feelings. But I always felt Peta was a pretty sweet gal before Maks showed up on the scene. I don’t think Maks is a good influence on Peta.
And as far as the Maks/Peta wedding goes, I have a sneaking suspicion they are already married. And this wedding in July in a castle (gag), is nothing but a PR stunt. The reason I say that is there have been a couple times when Peta was mentioned as being Maks wife. Robin Roberts has said that 2 times that I am aware of when I saw her talking to Maks on GMA and he did not correct her.
@#DLT Ohhh…I did not know that Val and Jenna were dating again. Makes sense then that Emma, Lindsay & Witney would try to talk some sense to Jenna. Especially Lindsay & Witney, they have been friends with Jenna since they were little girls. As for Jenna, is she just desperate to date a guy, or what? Talk about a mismatched couple.
@Darlene – I just find myself really, really disappointed in how Peta seems to have completely abandoned her Burn the Floor family (Emma, Sasha, Sharna, Keo) in favor of siding with the Chmerkovskiys. It would not have killed her to shoot her former friend a “congrats!” on social media for her win with Rashad – instead, she stayed silent. Gotta toe that family line, either you support Val’s partner (and ONLY Val’s partner!) or you get disowned!!! This show treats its female pros terribly enough – we don’t need female pros turning on each other, too.
As for Jenna – I just kinda get the impression that she has struggled with her self-esteem for awhile. She seemed to be struggling with her weight, and she’s done a huge 180 with her hair & makeup from her time on SYTYCD. Idk, part of me thinks Val is a source of validation for her, but a very toxic one.
Feel like I am back in high school with these little “dramas”.. I am with you Courtney, Peta did this on purpose. There s no way she could not have known Julianne’s date.
Has Julianne confirmed that July 8 is her wedding date? I don’t remember hearing or reading an actual date.
I hope both ladies have the wedding they deserve. As for who is going where, meh, I think with the exception of less than 10 people, there is no crossover.
Val posted before the finale a nice post about Lindsay/David and Emma/Rashad. I think he thought at the time that he was going to win and was attempting to be magnanimous.
Jenna may be from Utah but she has been dating Val off and on since she was 18. She really hasn’t been part of the Utah crowd for a few years.
This weekend photos were posted of Jenna and Val kissing at some event. So it seems she has gone back to Val. After she blogged about taking care of herself and getting out of a toxic one-sided relationship, well she now deserves what she gets. Val needs constant validation of his manhood and it’s pretty clear now that Amber was just for publicity.
Again, I know both weddings will be beautiful and completely different than one another. Both women will look incredible. I hope they enjoy every minute of their day.
Jenna must be either desperate or just blind stupid. Sounds like the girls who grew up with tried to protect her and controlling Val got upset. Anyway about this wedding thing, I don’t know about you but I love the drama LOL. I think it’s fairly obvious in terms of who goes where, Jenna, Alan, Sharna, Keo will go to Peta’s wedding while Esha and Hayley will go to Julianne’s wedding. No idea on everyone else, they may not have invites to either. Lindsay and Witney definitely won’t be at Peta’s but are they close to Julianne?
#M8 ….I am pretty sure that Lindsay & Witney will go to Julianne’s wedding. Lindsay posted on her twitter account not too long ago an interview where she said that Julianne got her into dancing. Lindsay & Witney were pretty much entrenched into the Hough/Ballas crowd before they even got a job at DWTS. In fact, Derek and Mark helped them get interviews with DWTS. Jenna was in that crowd too and got her job at DWTS thanks to Derek and Mark. But I guess Jenna dropped them and went over to the dark side (C-Bros.) Kinda odd that Jenna seems to have followed Peta in dropping her old friends in favor of the C-Bros. Seems like it is a prerequisite in order to join the C-Bros clique.
I think the Hough’s wedding and reception will be unforgettable family fun; surrounded by lots of laughter, kids dancing on their parents toes, and Jello salads glistening like jewels (Utah families love Jello salads).
I imagine Maks and Peta’s wedding and reception will be like Akeem’s coming of age celebration in Coming to America; exotic, expensive and uncomfortably formal, except with Mandy Moore doing the choreo instead of Debbie Williams.
I pick Team Hough!
BOO! I’m sure Peta most definitely knew about Julianne’s wedding. Peta’s wedding celebration is 3 days long? WTH!
If I were the pros I’d stick with my gut and if that means you have to shun the C-Bros/Fam… Then so beit. It doesn’t appear to me that the C-Bros/Fam care about their DWTS family anyway.
Witney didn’t go to Mark’s wedding though. She’s grown into a lone wolf to be honest since gettting married. I don’t think she’s ever been close Julianne in recent years. A bit like Artem with the fam, he used to be embedded right in there until it all kicked off in season 21. Now he spends most of his time with Esha. I don’t think him or Witney will go to either.
I think the reason witney didn’t go to marks wedding was because her and Mark dated for a bit when he was on a break with BC, don’t think it ended too well
Even I, Fam hater that I am, want to believe that this is pure coincidence. If I had to choose which wedding to attend I would attend Julianne’s. It is more likely to be the genuine one, centered on family togetherness but private. Willing to bet Peta and Maks will sell pics to highest bidder…if that hasn’t already happened.I would expect Julianne to opt for more traditional and less formal.
If three couples are getting married in the summer, is it outrageous to think that one of them would contact the other two to see if a date had been chosen? Emma said right away that she was waiting a year. I think it’s gamesmanship. Someone wrote on a youtube video that Val was trying to romance Hayley on last year’s tour. Big win if he could steal Derek’s girl.
The CBro’s are very competitive and it must burn them that Mark and Derek became so successful outside the show. Whitney and Lindsey are real competition for Peta. Val and Maks are just lucky that Mark and Derek are not on the show right now. I don’t think that Julianne will make a big deal of it. The question will be who gets the most coverage.
I think the whole “Mark and Witney” dated thing is shipper BS and not the least bit true.
I think Life and Style is making shit up (again). While I have no doubt that Peta shared wedding details, I very much doubt that Julianne did. And considering how quickly that date would be after the tour, I find it very implausible.
People are also assuming that all dancers were invited to both weddings. I wouldn’t be so sure about that…
I wouldn’t have batted an eye at Peta not congratulating either Rashad or David, if not for the fact that she was on SM finals night begging for votes for her “brother.” Funny, how she disappeared Tuesday night. I’m sure it would not have been “fam”-approved for her to send best wishes lol.
hahaha I’m going to agree with Heidi on this… I think this story is complete BS. In fact, probably 90% of stories I’ve read from this “magazine” in the past have been fabricated in some way or another. If somehow they did really manage to book their weddings on the same day I don’t see it being that big of a problem. They have for the most part a completely different set of friends and Julianne has mentioned SEVERAL times in the past couple of months that her wedding is going to be very small. Only close family and friends if I recall correctly.
There is certainly beef between Mark and Witney, isn’t Witney the only DWTS dancer BC Jean doesn’t follow on social media? Anyway yep, I think right now there are only a few definite invites for each wedding for dancers from DWTS.
Peta’s wedding:
Jenna
Sharna
Alan
Keo
Julianne’s wedding:
Emma
Sasha
Hayley
Then you the dancers who have either been invited to one wedding or not invited to neither wedding:
Lindsay (my guess either Julianne’s or neither)
Artem (my guess either Peta’s or neither. He’s cool with Derek but I don’t think he’s close at all to Julianne)
Witney (my guess either Julianne’s or neither, my money’s on neither)
Gleb (my guess either Peta’s or neither)
Brittany (Julianne’s or neither, remember she did the first MOVE tour)
To be honest I reckon the only dancer that could potentially have been invited to both weddings is Emma. But I think she’s tighter with Julianne/Derek than she is with Peta. Also based on what we’ve seen, Sasha doesn’t get along with Maks and obviously him and Emma come as a pair.
Julianne will have known Esha and Hayley had tour so will have had that in mind when scheduling the wedding. Ditto for Peta, it’s still hilarious if they’ve actually managed to find the same date. Why on earth are Peta and Maks having a three day ceremony?
#21- If that is true about Precious wanting to romance Hayley then he is in drastic need of psychiatric treatment. That would be absolutely sick, to have an obsession to outdo someone to that extent.
On another note, I thought a lot of Peta at one time. In my eyes, though, she has taken quite a downward spiral since her association with Maks and his brother. I actually fear for her wellbeing now and hope that this marriage will be ok for her and her little boy.
DRAMA DRAMA DRAMA LOL Is it all really a coincidence or not? Who knows really? Julianne is a pretty quiet girl-haven’t heard much about her engagement although it seems like she’s had a LONG engagement-to the point that I actually wondered if she was really gonna marry the guy or not lol. But she keeps her personal life to herself ????
Peta and Maks, on the other hand-TOTALLY DIFFERENT STORY-for christs sake, all of America knew he was going after her, even when she was with somebody else, and all of America knew when they got engaged to when she got pregnant. @GMA is Maks’ favorite media outlet LOL ?
So everybody knew their wedding date well in advance already over a year-again whether it’s a coincidence that it coincides with Julianne’s-can’t rightly say ? but I will say that we’ll probably see 2 different kinds of weddings as the latter, I think, will prove to be a most OSTENTATIOUS AFFAIR for 3 friggin days….
As far as who will attend, yeah I can see the conundrum-assuming who’s invited and who decides to go that is. Sometimes it’s best TO DECLINE!! ?
Is Peta South Asian or something that she’s having a 3 day wedding?? I think their baby shower and engagement events were enough for my social media newsfeeds…barf.
Well, if any pros are invited to both (I think Emma, Sasha, Keo, Brittany, Cheryl, Kym, Karina might) then, they could just attend the 7th and 9th for Peta and Maks and then the 8th for JUlianne. CAPISCHE!
Now, the question is … will Deena Katz (Casting EP) and Ashley Edens (other EP) attend Julianne’s or Peta’s on the 8th? (cue dramatic music)
Whether it’s a coincidence or not, I’ve been seeing Peta changing and her not making an effort to congratulate Emma for her FIRST win ever is a Chmerkovshiy trait.
I’m so sick and tired of journalists cropping up drama all the time. I don’t think Julianne will be all that upset over who doesn’t come to her wedding. She and Derek have a big family and many friends. I’m sure Derek will be her best man. I’ll looking forward to seeing Julianne’s wedding photos.
Well, that’s interesting. But I don’t remember Julianne saying her wedding date before but I know Peta and Maks started talking about it even before we found out she was pregnant with Shai. Maybe it’s really a coincidence but then again it’s the Chmerkovskiys we’re talking about.
And I also hope Val unfollowed Emma, Lindsay & Witney on ig because they were trying to talk some sense into Jenna. This is the third or fourth time they are back together, I wonder if Jenna suddenly forgot about her blog post where she said she was in a toxic one sided relationship. Val never claimed her as his gf, always said he’s single, untagged himself from valenna pics, blocked and deleted people who were talking about Jenna. She talked shit about him yet ran into his arms the first chance she got?! So much for “getting real” with her. Dissapointed but then again..can’t save those who don’t want to saved.
I’ve read Peta and Maks saying their wedding was going to be the beginning of July a couple of times earlier this year and they had a venue picked out quite awhile ago. I’m sure they had to book it months ago. And If the CBros crew doesn’t get along with the Hough crew why would either one consult the other about dates? I would expect them to each do what they want to do. It sucks for the dancers/friends who have to choose, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
Well it’s a shame that such a happy event for both couples has been mired a bit by Dategate.
I was in a toxic relationship in my early twenties much like the one Jenna seems to be in with Val. I put up with a lot of crap simply because I didn’t have the self esteem and self-love to walk away and STAY away. I finally did and it was a game changer for me. I grew in confidence and mental stability.
As RuPaul says “If you can’t love yourself, how the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an amen?
@EmnEm – A three-day affair sounds completely self-important and excessive – just like everything else the Fam does. That’s some Kim & Kanye-level arrogance. And this is coming from someone whose cousin had a 3-day, quarter-of-a-million-dollar extravaganza wedding two years ago…and she and her husband are near divorce two years later. They’re in marriage counseling now, but it just gives me pause, given that a current statistic on divorce says that every $10K over a standard $5-10K wedding budget that a couple spends results in a 29% increase in the likelihood of divorce.
As ironic as it sounds, anymore, that $50 quickie in Vegas doesn’t sound like such a bad idea…
@Susan2 – AMEN!!!!
I HATE WEDDINGS!!! My own damn wedding was enough for me and that was your typical ITALIAN WEDDING!!! ?????? I could never SURVIVE some ludicrous 3 day friggin CIRCUS!! Ok end of rant!! ?
This is so typical of this ridiculous feud.
Assuming it’s true, would anyone really be surprised if it was someone in the C camp that stirred this pot? Julianne refused to reveal any information about her wedding, but the others have sold every bit of info they could.
I’m having a hard time believing this one particularly since the more reliable sources are not reporting it. However I must say the 3 day wedding thing is OTT
and with a 6 month old child no less? It looks like Shai will be around long enough to make an appearance and take a few pictures and then it’s back to the nanny he goes.
I used to like Peta but ever since she hooked backup with Maks she’s just not as likeable any longer.
I doubt Derek is best man – that is up to Brooks to decide. It’s HIS best man, not hers. Derek has said he’s in the wedding, but Best Man? I don’t see why anyone would assume that.
Yes, PHeidi, it is the norm that the groom chooses a best man. I was going on the weddings that I’ve known where the groom was very close to his fiance’s brother due to certain circumstances. I shouldn’t have assumed that Derek would be best man. I was going by my own speculation that with Derek being such a great guy and so close to Julianne. I see you point of view.
@PH – I’m wondering if she means “man of honor” as opposed to “best man” – remember the movie with McDreamy? I’ve seen it becoming more acceptable to have your best man/maid of honor be someone of the opposite sex – I went to a wedding last summer that had the bride’s gay male best friend as her “man of honor” and he wore a pink tux to match her bridesmaids 😛
Why create drama when there isn’t any? I am just wishing each couple a beautiful wedding and a happy marriage.
Maks has said over and over that he is giving Peta the million dollar wedding of her dreams. Peta however, has said that he picked out the venue and then she fell in love with it, she was happy just being engaged and wanted to postpone the wedding but he said no. Sounds like this is the wedding of Maks’ dreams where he can brag about his money and be tabloid fodder for a few days.
Sounds like Mak and PetA’s wedding will be like Tom Cruise’s manchant extravaganza riddled with eerie drama! Can’t wait for some future posts…. ?
Could be, Court. But part of the reason why I don’t believe this story is true is because Derek claims to not know his role yet, just that he’s in the wedding. He could be misleading, but I tend to think that the only thing he knows is the date.
And I still can’t believe they would plan a wedding for so soon after their tour ends. That seems like madness.
Just my two cents. I always thought Peta was a big fat phony. To me, I knew nothing of her until her beau Damian Whitewood who was on the show season 10 promoted her on social media, was in love with her, went to Argentina with her, posted the romantic pictures, I actually asked him about the best places to go dancing in Buenos Aires and he responded so I could plan my husband and my Anniversary trip there. Apparently Damian and Peta were making long term plans according to him and then he got blindsided by Maks horning in. Since Maks is a long term horning in type of guy I expected better from Peta. But it is what it is, Damian has moved on and the phonies deserve a tacky 3 day party.
I hope Julianne’s marriage is a happy one, like Kristie Yamaguchi and Carrie Underwood marrying good Canadian hockey players.
Molly, of course this is the wedding of Maks’ dreams. It is almost exactly the same wedding he talked of having with Karina!
Casanova, yeah, that did it for me too where P was concerned. Shes good at playing the game, I’ll give her that much.
I get married in a week and my wedding is *technically* a three-day event, if only because I’m inviting everyone from out of town to the rehearsal dinner the night before and the brunch the day after the wedding. While Peta may have something much more extravagant in mind, I think a lot of weddings these days encompass a whole weekend of possible events.
Also I have a bridesman – one of my best guy friends – standing up on my side. Derek could do the same for Julianne.
I think Julianne’s date is pretty close. She said she would be back in LA in August, so maybe after hoenymoon? She also said that there will be no press coverage of the wedding but there will be pics later. Damn, I should have asked about the time frame 🙂
So awesome, Fig! Congrats and have the most magical wedding ever!x
To echo some previous comments, I do remember Peta saying July 2017 for the wedding since they were engaged (long before the baby) – so I believe her date has been locked for a long time. Given Julianne and Peta’s circle of friends/family have very little overlap it makes sense they wouldn’t have checked with each other ahead of time.
As for the 3 day event, I have been to weddings like that (especially where a lot of people travel) – Friday rehearsal dinner/party, Saturday wedding, Sunday brunch. We will have to see what they come up with.
Best of luck to both Peta and Julianne on their weddings – I am sure they will be lovely!
I just hope it last (the marriage) for Peta and Maks.
Maks appears to be dominating and bossy. Peta appears to be more lay-back and humble. We shall see.
Julianne was apparently talking about it in a Meet and Greet and she said that she just sent the invitations out last week. Seems a bit late?
Congratulations! Fig, May your marriage be full of love and happiness and last a lifetime.
No, we don’t know exactly when Julianne is getting married, and if it’s not July 8th, I honestly don’t think it’ll be too much past that. She and Brooks sent “save the date” cards out probably around the time the tour started, so everyone who they were invited already knew they’d be invited. She’s said that they carefully planned the date for when the people they wanted at the wedding were mostly available. And, with nieces and nephews starting the new school year in early/mid August, I think it’s highly unlikely they planned the wedding when her sisters couldn’t be there. And coincidentally, DWTS tour has a whole week off that week, they don’t go back on tour until July 10th. Since Hayley, Emma and Sasha are all on the tour, they’ll either have to miss the wedding or a date or two on tour. I’ve not been paying much attention, though, if it had been announced that anyone would be off any of the dates??
Yes, it’s pretty close to the end of the tour, but it is still do-able. As for their attendants, Julianne, Brooks and Derek have all said that Derek is one of the groomsmen. His brother is best man, and Julianne’s maid of honor is her best friend from London.
I think it’s so classless that Peta didn’t thank Emma for her win. And while I think it was amazing what Nyle was able to learn from her. And I will agree that Peta was challenged (unlike Val). But part of me thinks she was handed her MBT that season.
Sorry! Nyle fans.
@Susan2 – AMEN!
@Figamentation – Congrats, and I hope there’s lots of fun dancing!
Re: Julianne’s wedding date seeming like it might be too soon, didn’t she already do the bachelorette party a few months ago? I think she’s ready to throw that bouquet any moment, now.
For not paying attention, Lori, you have all the details. I run a website on Derek and I don’t know as much…
FYI, though, MOVE Beyond appears to end on June 17 in Santa Rosa, CA. I know there was talk about another leg, but Derek has said 48 shows. I think they’re already on 35. I thought there was more overlap with DWTS tour – just saw that it literally starts on the last day of MOVE. This seems moronic to me – DWTS is just determined to mine that tour until it dries up for everyone, the greedy bastards. Has anyone looked to see if they’re going to the same cities as MOVE? I’ll probably look, now that I’m curious.
Peta was “handed” her win in the sense that Nyle was a shoe in to win from day one. I think everyone who works on this site said that if Nyle could dance even halfway good he would win. I’m sure the producers knew as much too. He was a different sort of “ringer” – not a ringer in the sense of Meryl (talent/fanbase) or donny (fanbase), but more in the sense of JR. Another guy we called as the winner from Day 1. But it required far more effort and ingenuity on Peta’s part than anything Val (or Maks, for that matter) has ever needed.
BC Jean is touring this summer through July 12th so I don’t think Julianne is getting married til after this
I forgot all about Julianne being engaged….my family does long engagements too for the most part (my cousins all were engaged for like a year and in the case of one two years before the wedding actually happened…gotta get all those details perfect lol). same day is crazy though. That doesn’t seem like a coincidence to me at all.
Hit submit too early: I’m taking a shot in the dark here but me thinks maks wanted some publicity and was a tad bit bitter about This season lol.
@Fig: congratulations! I hope you have a great amazing unforgettable 3 days 🙂
I heard Derek say in an interview a while back that Julianne’s wedding was late summer and Julianne got mad at him for saying anything. Imop I’m thinking Labor Day weekend. All this leads me to believe that this story is bogus. Life & Style doesn’t seem to be very reputable. Peta saying she didn’t/doesn’t know Julianne’s wedding date could be a way of saying it’s not my information to share. It makes sense that with the holiday and the wedding, the tour would take a break for that July 4th week.
If Jenna is with Val she’s a fool. I’ve heard rumors of dating over the seasons, but if they are/were, it’s more like hooking up than dating. I have never seen Val with Jenna in her home town. This last weekend was her brothers wedding, where was Val? Seems like if your serious, and in a healthy relationship, those are the kinds of events you share. If you’re involved with a Cherm (rhymes with worm) then kiss everyone else in your life goodbye because it’s all about them.
I’m always surprised that any of these dancers hook their professional wagon to the sinking Chmerkovskiy ship.
Kandy, Val was in a Utah this weekend, that much we know. I would agree with the part about losing themselves in the fam though. We’ve already seen it with Peta. It will catch up one day.
Thanks Rose1, after I commented I saw a few posts on another site. Oh well, her choice.
