Chmerkovskiy picked up one of their dogs and cradled them in his arms. “You’re going to be a sister!” he said to the dog.
“That was one of the best nights of my life,” Johnson said of the moment after sharing it. “We couldn’t stop talking about it, we couldn’t stop thinking about it. It was amazing.”
The couple,who tied the knot in 2019, previously spoke to PEOPLE about all the special details of the pregnancy.
Johnson — who is due in January, and revealed after her pregnancy announcement that sheendured two years of infertilitybefore finally conceiving — is allowing herself space for physical changes.
“Every day when I look in the mirror and I get bigger and bigger, itjust hits me what’s happening,” said the mom-to-be. “I just think I try to find ways to be super grateful and find moments of gratitude. I started a little gratitude journal. Just every day I write what’s happening in my body. What I’ve liked. What I don’t like. But just how magical the experience is. So I think trying to keep my mind in that mindset has been really helpful for me.”
“Val is just so funny in this whole experience,” Johnson added. “He is obsessed with my body growing. He’s just obsessed with everything. The boobs, the butt, the belly. So for him to be so sweet and positive about my body, has just made me feel so beautiful.”
