AceShowbiz - Jenna Johnson has finally introduced her and Valentin Chmerkovskiy's first child to the world. Nearly a month after giving birth to their son, the new mom gave fans a look at the baby's face and revealed his full name.
On Tuesday, February 7, the "Dancing with the Stars" pro dancer shared a photo of the tot smiling while sleeping soundly. She kicked off the caption by writing, "Rome Valentin Chmerkovskiy."
"Cannot believe it's been 4 weeks of being completely infatuated with you," the 28-year-old continued gushing. "Thank you for bursting my heart wide open and showing me what unconditional love is. Mommy and Daddy love you so much!!!! **the left dimple melts me every time."
Jenna and Valentin welcomed baby Rome in January. When announcing his arrival, the couple posted a black-and-white photo that saw the tot holding on to his mom's thumb. Val, meanwhile, cradled both their hands in his own.
"Our world is forever changed," the professional dancers, who tied the knot in 2019, captioned their joint Instagram post. "1.10.2023."
Jenna once discussed baby names when sitting down with PEOPLE. "We actually have had a boy and a girl name picked out for three years now," she shared back in July 2022. "Val actually picked out the name for our boy, so we have it."
Later in January, Jenna said that she might change her mind when her baby boy arrived. "I'm a visual person for sure," she explained. "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."
Their first child is truly a blessing for Jenna and Val as they had been struggling through "two years of infertility and hundreds of negative tests." She shared at the time, "it was heart wrenching at times to stay optimistic and made me question whether I would ever have this opportunity."
