‘We are very happy to share our special news!’ Strictly Come Dancing couple Janette Manrara and Aljaž Škorjanec confirm they are expecting their first child after two years of struggling to conceive
Strictly Come Dancing couple Janette Manrara and Aljaž Škorjanec have confirmed that they are expecting their first child.
The professional ballroom dancers announced the news in an Instagram post Sunday afternoon along with a magazine cover photo shoot, to be published by ¡HOLA! on Monday.
Captioning an official photo from the spread, Janette, 39, wrote: “We are so happy to share our special news!”
Detailing her pregnancy in an accompanying interview, the Cuban-American choreographer admitted that she had struggled to conceive for more than two years, raising fears that it might never happen.
“For the last two years we hadn’t been using protection, but nothing was happening, so we thought IVF was the best thing to do,” she explained.
“I’m turning 40 later this year and the NHS offers very good services to women under 40. The doctor said as soon as I had my period we would start injections, but my period never came.”
