When speaking about his son, Maksim admitted, "This is the only difficult part about coming back, because it’ll just time away from being around this little dude. But like I said, I just want to make her Peta coming back and winning as difficult as possible. Somebody has to cause the competition."

And as for Peta, who already looks like she's shed the baby weight, she revealed she is also feeling "nervous" about her big return, but is "definitely excited" to get back in the swing of things -- literally!

"I think it's going to be okay," the beauty said. "I'm going to take it slowly, and hopefully I have an awesome partner to go through this with." What are your thoughts on the couple making a comeback? Let us know in the comments section.
