‘We made it’

It seems as if Janette arrived in the States just in time to say farewell to Nahko.

The day before, she shared pictures of herself and Aljaz onboard the flight to Miami. It was the family of three’s first long-haul flight together.

Giving fans an insight into how baby Lyra got on, Janette said: “Our first long-haul flight and it was not as easy or straightforward as we would have liked, but we made it to Miami.

“And in the midst of the madness we found pockets of joy and excitement to be travelling together as a little family.”
