Aljaz Skorjanec and Janette Manrara shared their first family portraits with HELLO! and have continued to give fans the sweetest glimpses into their family life.
The proud parents welcomed their daughter, Lyra Rose, three months ago, and Aljaz took to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday to share an adorable father-daughter moment.
The former Strictly dancer uploaded an image of himself cuddling his daughter, with whom he shares a striking resemblance.
The little girl sweetly turned her head to peep at the camera as her dad kissed her on the cheek. "Here till further notice," the doting dad captioned the image.
He and Janette have clearly embraced parenthood and last week, they shared the details of a cute outing they'd been on with their daughter. The devoted mum shared several new photos of the family of three all bundled up whilst at a horse stable.

“I have always been in love w/ horses and ponies, and today Lyra was introduced to them for the first time! It was a beautiful afternoon! Cannot wait to share what we filmed with you all,” she added.

The couple moved to the countryside earlier this year after many years living in London. Speaking about the decision at the time, Aljaz told HELLO! that "it's something both of us have craved for a while.”

The countryside move couldn’t have come at a better time for the couple as Aljaz recently revealed he is taking a career break to look after Lyra while Janette is working.
"I can’t wait to do daddy daycare – it’s my favourite job ever. I have waited to be a dad for so long and I feel very lucky to be able to spend so much time with my daughter,” he told HELLO! in September.

"Janette is still recovering, but I’m planning to keep the bottles, just in case." The new parents gave us an exclusive tour inside Lyra's beautiful room ahead of her birth, and they went on to share another peek as the newborn joined them for her very first photoshoot.
Little Lyra sported a bow in her hair as she cuddled up to her mother in the "calm space" which deliberately features a neutral colour scheme.
