Aljaz's other followers also expressed their love for the photo and the star's post, with their comments including: "The bows," "Happy birthday princess," and: "Awww, you're very blessed, you will be so excited to see them."
One of the challenges of the pandemic for Aljaz and his wife, former Strictly star Janette Manrara, has been the difficulty seeing family members.

Aljaz is originally from Slovenia while Janette is a Miami native. Despite that, though, Aljaz clearly remains a devoted uncle.
He has previously spoken to HELLO! about his bond with Zala and his desire to become a dad one day, saying: "She's beautiful, a little angel. I'm obsessed with kids…
"If someone had told me five years ago that my little sister was going to have a baby before me, I wouldn't have believed them. But I feel everything comes at the right time when it's supposed to come."
