Jenna Johnson & Val Chmerkovskiy: Dancing Through Life and Loss

TW: Infertility & Miscarriage ~30:20 – 43:35 — programmatic ads may affect the exact timestamp for each listener 

Dancing with the Stars legends and power couple Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy join the two Tays for a laugh-filled double date and your weekly dose of mental health chats. While Jenna and Val are happy as ever with their baby boy bundle of joy Rome, transforming their family from two to three did not simply happen overnight. Val and Jenna open up about their journey with infertility and miscarriage, and how only after they decided to give themselves a break did they find themselves pregnant after Jenna’s birthday trip to Cabo. But first, they’re telling us all about how their relationship formed after they connected on Dancing with the Stars, where Val took advantage of his incredible charm and somehow good-smelling sweat to ultimately win Jenna over. Val and Jenna get honest about everything work and personal, including watching your partner develop close relationships with those of the opposite sex, how parenthood has altered their relationship, and why Jenna's new post-partum body has actually improved her confidence. Plus, they share advice for those struggling to conceive and new parents!
