💞 STRICTLY BABY JOY! Janette Manrara & Aljaž Škorjanec Expect Baby Number Two! 💞
The beloved ballroom power couple, Janette Manrara and Aljaž Škorjanec, have officially confirmed what fans have long suspected — they’re expecting their second child! And for Strictly Come Dancing fans, this news is a perfect twirl of joy, love, and family magic.
From glittering ballroom stages to the intimate glow of home life, Janette and Aljaž have always captivated fans — not just with their unmatched dance chemistry, but with their genuine, heartfelt love story. After meeting during the 2013 series of Strictly, their on-screen partnership blossomed into real-life romance, culminating in marriage in 2016 and the arrival of their first daughter, Lyra, in 2024. Now, just over a year later, they’re preparing to welcome another little dancer into their lives.
The couple’s recent announcement comes after months of quiet hints on social media and sparse public appearances. While fans speculated about everything from career moves to personal life updates, the truth was far more heartwarming. In an exclusive interview, Janette and Aljaž shared their joy, revealing that their baby is due in early 2026 — a happy milestone that coincides with exciting new ventures in their professional lives.
"Lyra’s first year flew by in a blur of rehearsals and performances. This baby is our chance to slow down, savor the moments, and focus on family while still following our passion for dance," she said, cradling her small bump.
Aljaž added, "People think we can spin through life endlessly, but fatherhood teaches you that the real rhythm is in quiet moments, at home, with the people you love."
The couple aren’t stepping away from dance entirely — far from it. They’re launching “Dance Without Limits”, a global online academy designed to make ballroom accessible to all. Through live-streamed classes, personalized coaching, and interactive challenges, they aim to inspire a new generation of dancers from toddlers to retirees.
"We’ve had messages from all over the world asking us to teach. This academy lets us bring Strictly magic to everyone, even if they don’t have a studio nearby," Aljaž explained.
Even Strictly colleagues joined in celebrating the happy news. Tess Daly posted heart emojis, while Craig Revel Horwood joked, "May the child inherit your fabulousness — and none of your dropped frames!"
"Life’s messy, dance teaches you that. Sometimes you slip, but you always lift back up," Janette reflected.
Janette teased potential baby names with a laugh: "If it’s a girl, maybe Zara. Boy? Tango or Rhythm… just kidding!" Aljaž quickly vetoed any dance-themed names, emphasizing the importance of keeping some normalcy amid their lively lives.
From the dazzling Blackpool Tower Ballroom to the cozy nursery at home, Janette and Aljaž continue to inspire millions, proving that life — like dance — is best enjoyed in rhythm with love, family, and heart.
Strictly fans, get ready: another little star is on the way, and the world can’t wait to meet them. 🌟💖
