Johnson, 29, and Chmerkovskiy, 37, who welcomed their firstborn in January, cradled their son as they posed in front of a glittering tree ahead of Rome's first Christmas.
Chmerkovskiy, full name Valentin Chmerkovskiy, said he has fallen more and more in love with his wife with the arrival of their son.
“I think the outpouring of love definitely washed over me more regarding my wife. I never loved her more. “I have never appreciated her more,” he said.
And Jenna also had kind words about her husband.
“He was my biggest supporter when I was pregnant,” she credits her husband, who is from Odesa, Ukraine.
'So soft and sweet. Those exhausting, tired moments when you get up together at four in the morning and you're like, “Oh my god, that's my teammate, and he's willing to do this with me,” she continued.
Last August, the entertainers announced the gender of their then unborn child via social media.
They shared a slideshow of themselves barefoot and shooting blue confetti cannons.
It was a low-key gender reveal for the married couple, who stood in the corner of a sunlit room, seemingly devoid of partygoers.

News: Speaking to Good Morning America, the Dancing With The Stars professionals shared that before their baby was born last January, they had to endure the loss of a child
Jenna and Val — who began their romance in 2015 — first revealed their baby news on July 15 after suffering “two years of infertility.”
“We actually stopped trying to get pregnant for about six months to give ourselves a mental/emotional break,” says Johnson admitted online.
“So the shock, the disbelief and the sheer joy in this moment is a memory I will never forget.”
The Jo+Jax employee added, “If any of you are struggling to get pregnant, suffering from infertility, or grieving a pregnancy loss, don't lose hope. It may not happen on your timeline and the journey may tear your heart open at times, but don't give up on yourself and your precious baby! It will happen.'
