Over the years, Janette and Aljaz have expressed their desire to start a family of their own. Back in January 2021, the couple spoke exclusively to HELLO! about their future, with Janette saying: "We always wanted to have a baby, but 2020 has definitely made me say to myself: 'You know what, Janette, it's never going to be the perfect time but it's always going to be the right time.'"

Aljaz shared this sweet video

"As a woman who's a dancer, my body is my job so it's scary to make that decision about the perfect time to start a family. I always thought there would be a perfect month and year, but what 2020 has made me realise is that perfect time is never going to come along.
