Jenna Johnson and Val Khmerkovsky are officially parents!
The two Dancing With the Stars pros welcomed a tiny new addition to their family earlier this week and shared a first look at the little boy with a sweet photo announcement.
“Our world is changed forever 🤍 10/01/2023,” the couple wrote in their joint post on Wednesday, January 11, which was delightfully announced via Instagram and revealed their son’s birthday.
The message was shared with a close-up of the new parents’ hands embracing while their newborn baby tightly clasps Johnson’s thumb.
The couple, who wed in 2019, did not share any further details about their firstborn, although they previously revealed the baby’s gender on Instagram and indicated they would agree on a name.
Johnson, 28, told PEOPLE in July 2022 that she and Chmerkovskiy, 36, had been picking out baby names long before she found out she was pregnant.
“We’ve actually been choosing a boy’s name and a girl’s name for three years,” revealed the mother-to-be. “Val actually chose the name for our boy, so we have it.”
However, she later noted that she’s “a visual person” and won’t write off a decision to scrap her husband’s choice after meeting the baby for the first time. “I have this weird thing that I don’t want to be 100 percent committed to, even though we both love it.”
“I really want to see him first before we make that decision,” she added. “We have one that I’m pretty tuned into, so who knows, maybe he’ll change the day.” So it looks like fans will just have to wait for the big reveal of the baby’s name.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
