Maks and his wife Peta have two sons, Shai and Rio, while Val and his wife Jenna have one son, Rome. According to DWTS fans, the family resemblance is uncanny.

“Ok so I was inspired by the previous post of the pros to look for more younger pictures of the pros (googled it lol) & I came across these two of Maks & Val. You can’t tell me that’s not Shai & Rome!!! (Rome definitely has Jenna’s eyes though)” a Redditor shared on the platform this week.

Fans went wild for the photos of the Chmerkovskiy brothers and couldn’t believe how much their sons resembled them. Maks’ son Shai is seven years old while his youngest Rio will be a year old this June. Val’s son Rome just celebrated his first birthday this month.

In the throwback photo, Maks and Val couldn’t be much older than their own boys.
