EXCLUSIVE: Maksim Chmerkovskiy & Peta Murgatroyd Gush Over Their 'Happy' First Date Night Since Son's Birth →


The 'Dancing With the Stars' pros looked divine on the red carpet at the Race to Erase MS gala, but told ET they almost didn't make it!


Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd are enjoying their break from Dancing With the Stars.


The engaged couple, who were eliminated back-to-back during weeks six and seven of the dance competition show, stepped out to the 24th Annual Race to Erase MS Gala at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles on Friday, marking their first official date night since welcoming their first child, son Shai, in January.


“We’ve been in baby land. I was so looking forward to tonight,” Murgatroyd, 30, told ET’s Lauren Zima on the red carpet. “I’ve been preparing hair and makeup and dresses for, like, I don’t know, a couple of weeks getting ready, and then the worst thing happened!”


“My dress broke,” she explained. “My whole zipper, as Maks was doing me up, just went [ripping sound]. So, he actually sewed me into this tonight!”


Chmerkovskiy chimed in, telling ET, “First I fixed the zipper, we did it again, and then it broke again. We found out where the problem is, and so, I’m not really sure that was meant to be so good – I think it was just an accident!”


“He did such a good job,” praised Murgatroyd, who confirmed her fiancé knows how to sew. “From the dancing world, we’re with our partners. Back in the competition days, we all had to know how to sew, so, yeah!”


The blond beauty admitted she was just “happy” to be walking the red carpet, because she contemplated staying home after the minor fashion mishap.


“It was sad!” Chmerkovskiy said. “I looked at her and she was like giving up on going. But I was like, ‘No, we got ready!’ And I think she deserves a night out, for sure. You know, I didn’t want to leave [the] baby though.”


“We would plan on going out before, but then like half an hour to 45 [minutes later], 'You sure you want to go?’ 'No, let’s just stay in.’ 'OK, good,’” he continued.


Wardrobe malfunctions aside, Chmerkovskiy and Murgatroyd appeared to be having a blast at the star-studded gala. The charity event touched home for the duo, who said they have friends who suffer from multiple sclerosis.


“We know first-hand what it does to people and how debilitating it is,” Chmerkovskiy explained. “The fact that Nancy [Davis] made this – in this town, it’s hard to make an event prominent, and this is one of the premiere events outside of the Oscars, Emmys, industry standard sort of things. It’s one of the biggest and one of the most successful.”


“It’s a very special event,” added Murgatroyd. “We know Nancy personally. She’s a great friend of ours, and she’s been doing this for so long that it’s such a successful event. It raises so much awareness for MS. We couldn’t help but come out.”


Also in attendance was Murgatroyd’s season 24 partner, Nick Viall, who brought his fiancée, Vanessa Grimaldi. Like the new parents, the Bachelor couple also considered the gala a date night.


But according to pics posted on DWTS pro Sharna Burgess’ Instagram, it appears it later turned into a group outing when they hopped over to E.P. & L.P. in West Hollywood!


While chatting with ET on the carpet at the star-studded charity soiree, Viall opened up about the fatal car crash his close pal, Chris Soules, was involved in last month.
 

 
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!!!  How can they say this was their "first date nite" since baby arrived??  They were out in NYC before returning to LA and a couple other times they posted.  None of them were a gala, but does it have to be that to be a date nite??!!! LOL

Funny about the zipper, tho, and Maks sewing her into the dress!!!!  LOL. They used to sew women into their corsets!!!  LOL

Changing my avatar.  Everyday when I log in it will remind me that I want to get back to my art... painting, sculpting...instead of practical outlet for creativity, that is cooking, baking, home decor, and other things of that nature.

Most likely this will take place in Arizona during the winter getaways.  There are some wonderful classes available by very accomplished artists and teachers.  

My former "new beginnings" avatar had to do with being pet-less.  And embracing that new, free-er of responsibility status.  LOL  THAT DID NOT LAST LONG did it.  I found it kind of boring.

 

View I meant to say to you earlier when I read your post....I didn't know you were an "artist" too...did you study art in school or just learn as you go???  It is funny that you mention that you wanted to return to your "creative" outlet of art as I have just been thinking of the same thing...I always felt so relaxed when I painted or drew.  I actually love to draw with colored pencils the best...I have never done sculpting but have admired those that do.  One of my favorite artist is Charles Wysocki.  I took several classes where we used things from his works to create a 4 Seasons type pattern and I put mine on a 4 sided lamp...

Here is a bit about him and some of his work...

Charles M. Wysocki, Jr. was an American painter, whose works depict a stylized version of American life of yesteryear. While some of his works show horseless carriages, most depict the horse and buggy era.Born: November 16, 1928, Detroit, MIDied: July 29, 2002, [url=https://www.google.com/search?biw=1823&bih=913&q=Joshua+Tree,+California&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAOPgE-LSz9U3SMpINqnIUuIAsYtMsnK15LOTrfQLUvMLclL1U1KTUxOLU1PiC1KLivPzrFIyU1MAV5wu0TkAAAA&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjpjdi_6dzTAhUFKGMKHaG-DyAQmxMIwAEoATAY]Joshua Tree, CA[/url]Nationality: AmericanSiblings: Harry WysockiParents: Mary K.

Oh, CEK....I LOVE those too!! That is my genre....and some of these (or others very much like them) I've seen as jigsaw puzzles and stitchery kits. I am always drawn to them in catalogs! I think I was born about 100 years too late....well.....maybe 50???  LOL

Yes I say the same thing too...I always thought I should have been born much before my time...LOL
