DWTS Pros Val Chmerkovskiy And Jenna Johnson Debut Their Son Rome To The World
A star in the making! Jenna Johnson debuted her and Val Chmerkovskiy’s son, Rome Valentin Chmerkovskiy, in a sweet Instagram share on February 7. Addressing the newborn directly in her caption, Johnson wrote alongside a photo of Rome sleeping, “Cannot believe it’s been 4 weeks of being completely infatuated with you. Thank you for bursting my heart wide open and showing me what unconditional love is. Mommy and Daddy love you so much!!!!” The dancer concluded on a heartwarming note, writing that her son’s “left dimple melts me every time.” *Eyes welling up emoji*
After announcing her pregnancy in 2022, Johnson opened up to People about the journey that led to Rome. Noting that she and Val had a bumpy fertility journey before then, Johnson realized she was pregnant after coming home from a vacation to Cabo. “Everybody tells you, ‘When you just relax and you don’t put the stress on yourself, it happens for you.’ That’s exactly what happened,” Johnson reflected at the time, adding that “it all seems so magical and meant to be.”
