The tennis pro put an end to Novak Djokovic’s Wimbledon reign and made history, so it was an exciting day for many. Princess Kate was courtside, and presented the new champion with his trophy, and also greeted ball girls and boys during her visit.

Aljaz left fans speculating as to whether Janette had already given birth when he shared a cryptic post on Instagram.

Taking to the social media site on Sunday, Aljaz paid tribute to his pregnant wife on their wedding anniversary with a romantic photo of him kissing her cheek, telling Janette: "Happy sixth (I think) wedding anniversary Bučka. You are definitely in my top three favourite people (right now)."

One follower asked: "The baby is here?!!!!!!!," while another said, "You’ve had the baby!! Top 3!!!"

Of course, Aljaz could have just been referring to the baby that's not yet arrived, as further posts have shown Janette tucking into a roast dinner in London with her blossoming baby bump.

The couple are so excited

The couple gave an exclusive interview with HELLO! to reveal their long-awaited baby news, after thinking they could have to consider IVF to conceive.

Speaking about when they got their happy news, Aljaz said: "I was beside myself. I feel like I've been thinking and dreaming about that moment for so long. We were preparing for IVF mentally and physically and then it was just a relief to finally have that positive test. I have so much respect for any parent that goes through IVF, not just for what it puts them through physically but mentally too."

Janette and Aljaz have recently relocated from London to Cheshire, moving into a dream family home. "It's something both of us have craved for a while," Alijaz told HELLO! "The pace of life in London is too fast and we couldn't see us functioning here as a family. It’s so green up north, it reminds me of Slovenia.
