"[He's] amazing!" he dished. "Very handsome, like the parents."

The 30-year-old dancer also called baby Shai's arrival "a blessing," telling host Michael Strahan "it's changed the dynamic" of his family.

"It's changed my brother," he explained. "His name is Shai Chmerkovskiy, which is very unusual because this is the very first Shai Chmerkovskiy ever."

"I'm trying to be the best uncle I can be," he added. "I want to spoil him. I don't think he really understands much right now. But as soon as he's able to comprehend the love that he has around him, I think he's going to be a very spoiled young man."

"To my brother happy birthday. We came a long way," Val captioned one of the pics, which featured the two sporting matching Christmas sweaters. "Love you @maksimc #happybirthdaymaks."

"Thanks for 'bearing' with me all these years, especially my super clever comedy," another hilarious post read.
