“💙 Happy Birthday Sweet Rio 💙,” Murgatroyd, 36, began her caption.
She wrote, “What a wild ride!!! With a midnight car race into the hospital not knowing if@maksimcwill make it or not, to the many hours of laboring down Mr Rio until he was in the perfect place to push him out with 4 pushes… …he’s here and he’s HEAVEN ✨.”
The professional dancer then added: “There was a moment after the birth where I looked at my mum and said ‘did you text dad?’ …I welled up with tears as I realized I’d forgotten he was gone. It was a moment for me. I knew I felt his spirit there and I know he will be looking down and protecting all of us here.”
