Dancing With The Stars couple Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson have said their lives are 'forever changed' after welcoming their first child together.

Chmerkovskiy and Johnson tied the knot in 2019 after first meeting on the dancing show in 2014.

The two dancers, who were both professionals on the show, soon hit it off, and in 2018 they got engaged while on a romantic trip to Venice, Italy.

They announced the exciting news of their first child together in July 2022, when the mum-to-be revealed all the details in an interview with People.

"We got home [from a trip to Cabo] and about two weeks later I was like, 'Wait a minute, my boobs are feeling very big and very sore. I haven't started my period yet.' So I peed on a stick and immediately it just turned positive," Johnson recalled at the time.

"The shock and just disbelief was insane. I couldn't believe it because it wasn't an easy journey for us to get pregnant.

"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," she continued.

"I think it was exactly when it was meant to be. Our little baby was created with a lot of love. It all seems so magical and meant to be."

Yesterday (11 January), Johnson took to Instagram to share the big news with the world - their baby boy arrived on Tuesday, 10 January.

The mum shared a snap of the family-of-three all holding hands, along with the caption: "Our world is forever changed. 1.10.2023."

The parents haven't revealed the name of their newborn, but last year Johnson said that they'd had some names picked out for 'three years'.

However, Johnson admitted she may change her mind about names after actually meeting her son, saying: "I'm a visual person for sure. And so I have this weird thing where I don't want to be 100 percent set on it, even though we both love it.

"I really want to see him first before we make that decision," she added.

"So far we have one that I'm pretty set on, so who knows, it might switch the day of."

The couple have been flooded with compliments and well-wishes after announcing the arrival of their newborn, while Johnson is already confident her husband is 'going to be the best dad in the world'.
