Dancing with the Stars’ Jenna Johnson and Val Chermkovskiy welcomed their babies, and tons of DWTS vets shared loving reactions

They dance with the stars the family has grown and is still as sweet as ever. In 2021, pro Jenna Johnson shared her future plans amid rumors that her husband and fellow pro Val Chmerkovskiy will be leaving the dance show. More than a year later, the two dancers have welcomed their little one, who definitely has dance in his blood.

Jenna Johnson took to Instagram to share a sweet photo of her and Val Chmerkovskiy holding hands with their newest family member. Johnson confirmed that her world changed forever on Jan. 10, kicking off the new year with a bang:

Because TAKE A STEP it’s more like family, it’s no surprise that many vets were quick to reply to the message with congratulatory messages for the baby. Witney Carson has a short but to the point answer that you can hear through your screen:

Former and current judge Derek Hough’s message was a little more coherent, but all the emotions can still be felt, and it’s absolutely spot on:

Daniella Karagach, who announced her pregnancy in December, had a similar response to Witney Carson, which we’re all feeling right now:

Lindsay Arnold is already showing a lot of love to Baby Chmerkovskiy, and it’s clear she’s got a whole village of family behind her, blood or no:

Although Tom Bergeron is no longer the co-host of TAKE A STEP, is still close to many of his former colleagues. He was among many celebrating the birth of Chmerkovskiy’s baby and made sure to point out that this new dance is the most gratifying of all:

Tom Bergeron is definitely right. Even though Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson have been dancing for a while, it’s a part of their lives that will outlast it all. This little girl has a world that loves her already, and it’s not hard to see why. Though I wonder if she will look like her parents when she grows up.

Meanwhile, with the arrival of their little one, it’s hard to predict what the future holds for Chmerkovskiy and Johnson. dance with the stars it will seem. We don’t know when season 32 will arrive. TAKE A STEP It will premiere on ABC, but it will be part of the 2023 TV schedule, so it’s only a matter of time. There have already been some big departures before Season 32, including judge Len Goodman and pro Cheryl Burke. So the show will look a little different next season, but it should still be interesting to watch.

Congrats to Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson on their new little ballerina, who will no doubt carry her parents’ dance genes.
