According to Pop Culture, their absence this season may be because of the possibility that they are planning to expand their family.

"Maybe in the next six months," said Murgatroyd. "I think that would be a healthy, good time for us."

Chmerkovskiy then chimed in, saying that he's also ready "thinking about baby No. 3 and No. 4!"

The pair is already parents to one-year-old son Shai.
