Heavy/Getty DWTS pro Jenna Johnson reunited with her son after a trip.
Fan favorite “Dancing with the Stars” professional dancer Jenna Johnson has been on the go non-stop for quite some time now. Johnson and her fellow DWTS husband, Val Chmerkovskiy, participated in the show tour for a few weeks as it first began. Then, as soon as they wrapped that up, they had other professional commitments that took them away from home.
In a recent Instagram Story, Johnson opened up about her recent travels and how much she missed her son while she was gone. She and Chmerkovskiy were able to have Rome with them as they did the “Dancing with the Stars” tour. However, they had to leave him at home for some traveling after that.
Here’s what you need to know:
Jenna Johnson Had Been Gone for a Week
In an Instagram Story posted on February 15, Johnson shared a life update with her “Dancing with the Stars” fans. She explained, “We just got home a couple of hours ago from our trip to Canyon Ranch in Arizona.”
Johnson and Chmerkovskiy were in Arizona for a short trip which came after a quick trip to Las Vegas, Nevada, for the Super Bowl. All of this travel without their son Rome came just days after initially wrapping up their time on the “Dancing with the Stars” tour and returning home to Los Angeles.
The dancer gushed over the experience she had at Canyon Ranch. “Oh my goodness. I cannot say enough amazing things about this experience. It’s just, it’s a health and wellness retreat and if you need to, like, take a second for yourself in your life, go there. You will not regret it.”
Then, Johnson shifted gears to talk about Rome. She explained, “I had, like, three trips back to back to back and so I’ve been gone for a week.”
The “Dancing with the Stars” pro then admitted, “I have missed Rome so much and when we got home he was already asleep. I am so tempted to go wake him up because I just miss him. I want to snuggle him.”
She then added that she wasn’t going to wake Rome up. However, Johnson admitted, “But man, the urge is crazy.”
Johnson then asked, “Anybody else miss your baby so much you want to wake him up?”
She later shared a trio of adorable photos on her Instagram feed that showed her getting some Rome snuggles.
