Maksim Chmerkovskiy kisses pregnant fiancee Peta Murgatroyd as he gears up for Dancing With The Stars return

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and his pregnant fiancee Peta Murgatroyd are enjoying time together as a couple before baby makes three.

The Dancing With The Stars pro pair, who are expecting a son in January 2017, put their love on display during a casual lunch date at Urth Caffe in Los Angeles on Thursday.

This comes soon after the father-to-be, 36, confirmed his return to ABC's popular reality competition show next season.

The cute couple were spotted sweetly holding hands in coordinating wardrobes as they made their way to the trendy eatery.

The 30-year-old dancing queen dressed her growing baby bump in a low-cut black T-shirt dress.

The relaxed-fit cotton shift fell just above her knees showing off Peta's trim dancer pins. 

The mother-to-be layered a long white button-up over her casual look which blew in the wind and nearly grazed the sidewalk.

Peta teamed the lunch look with a pair of chic white perforated creepers and lightly accessorized with diamond studs and her engagement ring. 

The blonde beauty swept her long locks up and shielded herself from the sunny day with metal aviators. 

Her hunky beau was dressed in summer whites from head to toe.

Maksim showed off his buff physique in a T-shirt and slim-fit jeans which were rolled at the hem.

The scruffy-faced star topped off his effortlessly cool look with white trainers, dark shades, bracelets and a watch. 

The parents-to-be, who plan to marry in July 2017, were spotted in a close embrace as they waited for their car at the valet. 

As Maksim planted a sweet kiss on top of his love's head she leaned into her 6-foot-two beau and wrapped one arm around him.

Peta and Maksim met in 2013 and dated for about 10 months before the relationship fizzled out.

The DWTS co-stars rekindled their romance in 2015 and got engaged in December 2015.

Peta is a two-time champion on ABC's Dancing With The Stars.

She won season 22 of DWTS with deaf model Nyle DiMarco in May after previously winning season 14 with Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver.

Maksim won season 18 with Olympic ice dancer Meryl Davis in May 2014. 

The Ukraine-native, who served as a guest judge during his four season absence as a dancer, recently announced his return to DWTS next season.

While Peta will be on the sidelines cheering for her beau, other pros returning include: Val Chmerkovskiy, Witney Carson, Sharna Burgess, Artem Chigvintsev, Lindsay Arnold, Sasha Farber, Allison Holker and Gleb Savchenko.

In addition to Amber Rose, Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte is also set to join the celebrity cast of Dancing With The Stars when it returns to ABC on September 12.

The full line-up will be unveiled on GMA on Tuesday August 30.
