Getty Jenna Johnson shared a pregnancy update with her fans.
“Dancing With the Stars” professional dancer Jenna Johnson shared a third-trimester pregnancy update with her followers on Instagram.
“Big day over here….,” Johnson wrote. “We’re in the 3rd Trimester!!! Can’t believe there are only 12 more weeks until we get to meet our little bud. To celebrate, here’s a little bump progression.”
She shared photos and videos from throughout her pregnancy so far, ending with her largest bump photo yet and a video of the baby boy kicking.
Johnson and her husband, Val Chmerkovskiy, revealed they are expecting their first child together in July 2022. The baby is due in January 2023, but that means there is a whole season of “Dancing With the Stars” in between now and the baby’s birthday.
Johnson Choreographed the Opening Number for ‘Dancing With the Stars’ ‘Michael Buble Night’
Johnson may be in her 3rd trimester, but that’s not keeping her from continuing to dance. In behind-the-scenes shots from rehearsals throughout the week leading up to “Dancing With the Stars” season 31 episode six, Johnson was seen working with the dancers on choreography for the opening number of “Michael Buble night.”
It was announced on Tuesday, October 19 that Johnson would be returning to choreograph the number. ET Online reporter Desiree Murphy first shared the news on Twitter.
Johnson was sad to be missing season 31 of “Dancing With the Stars.” Early on in her pregnancy, Johnson thought she might be able to return, but she didn’t think it was going to be practical.
“You know what, so when I had to have the call and tell them that I was pregnant, I gave them the option, I’m down, give me someone, give me the old guy, I’ll do it,” she told ET Online. “I can still do it!”
Johnson hosted a question and answer session on Instagram on August 17, 2022, and she was asked by a fan how she feels about missing the upcoming season.
“I’m obviously so sad that I won’t be dancing this season BUT I am sooo excited to watch and cheer everyone on…” she wrote. “Especially my hubby! I’m also excited to have a second to revamp, get inspired and bring my most creative self next season.”

Johnson is very excited for Arnold, who is her best friend.
“@lindsarnold and I are 3 months apart, and now our babies are going to be 4 months apart,” Johnson wrote on her Instagram Stories. “The tears of pure joy haven’t stopped!!!”
On the next slide, Johnson shared a photo of the women standing side by side and cradling their baby bumps.
