Chmerkovskiy and Johnson, who have been together since 2015, remained transparent about the struggles they faced trying to conceive their first baby together. In the 28-year-old's pregnancy announcement in July, she emphasized how she and the 36-year-old almost gave up their dream of having a family right before they got the thrilling update.
"The moment my whole world changed," Johnson wrote alongside a clip of herself seeing the positive pregnancy test. "We had actually stopped trying to conceive for about 6 months to mentally/emotionally give ourselves a break… so the shock, disbelief, and sheer joy in this moment is a memory I will never forget 🤍."
"I want to keep this moment very positive because there is so much to celebrate and my heart is overflowing with gratitude, BUT our journey getting to this point wasn’t an easy one," she continued.
