It’s possible that it won’t be too long before Lara’s baby has a new cousin – Aljaz, who was Gemma Atkinson’s dance partner in 2017, and his wife Janette Manrara have said that they are looking forward to starting a family of their own.
The pair met on the set of Strictly where they’re both pro dancers, and married in July of last year – having three separate ceremonies to celebrate their marriage.
After returning from their honeymoon in the Seychelles they spoke about their plans to expand their family – although they admitted that the demands of their careers may delay things.
“We’re family people and we do eventually want to have a family. For us, family is everything,” Janette said, speaking to OK! Magazine.
“But we are so happy with where our careers are at the moment that we want to enjoy it as much as we can. Then a little further down the line we will get ready for a baby
“There will definitely be a little Skorjanec running around at some point!”
Janette also expressed her congratulations, reposting Lara’s Instagram announcement, with the caption “So excited for @laraskorjanec & @nejcljubic becoming parents!
“Aunt Janette & Uncle Aljaz are going to spoil them so much!! Cannot wait! CONGRATULATIONS!! 👏🏼 #BabyLjubic”
