March 28 (UPI) -- Dancing with the Stars pro Gleb Savchenko says he's "so excited" to be a dad of two. The 33-year-old Russian dancer gushed in an interview with People that he "can't wait" to welcome a second daughter with wife Elena Samodanova.

"We're so excited. We're so great. We can't wait to welcome our little baby girl number two," he told the magazine.
Savchenko and Samodanova, a judge on Dancing with the Stars Russia, are already parents to 6-year-old daughter Olivia. Samodanova is five months pregnant with a baby girl due Aug. 2.
"We were planning. We wanted to have another child. It's the time," Savchenko said.
"Olivia is already six, so she can help a little. She wanted to have a little sister, so we were like, 'That's a great chance. That's a great opportunity for us.' We're in L.A. now settled and everything's great, so it's fun," he added.
Savchenko had announced last week in an interview with E! News that he and Samodanova are expecting again. Samodanova later confirmed in an Instagram post that she's pregnant with another daughter.
"I'm so excited to share our BiG news: 'We're expecting a baby girl, a second little girl' my Family @glebsavchenkoofficial #oliviasavchenko," she captioned a photo of herself with her husband.
Savchenko is partnered with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne in Dancing with the Stars Season 24, and earned a 28 out of 40 with a foxtrot on Monday's episode. He previously competed with Lisa Vanderpump and Jana Kramer.
