Strictly Come Dancing’s golden couple Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara have sent fans into an absolute MELTDOWN with the most heartwarming news: they’re expecting their second child!

The beloved duo – who stole hearts on the BBC ballroom for years – shared the joyous announcement on social media, revealing that their adorable daughter Lyra Rose is set to become a big sister next summer. “Our family is growing… Baby Škorjanec-Manrara arriving Summer 2026! Lyra is going to be a big sister! We are over the moon and feel so blessed. Thank you for all the love always,” they wrote alongside a gorgeous family snap that has everyone saying the exact same thing: “We can’t wait!”

Fans flooded the comments with congratulations, tears and excitement, with one writing: “Oh my gosh, this is the best news ever! Lyra as a big sister – I can’t cope!” Another added: “Strictly’s most beautiful family just got even bigger. So happy for you both!” And a third gushed: “We can’t wait either! Another little dancer on the way!”

Aljaž, 35, and Janette, 42, who tied the knot in a fairy-tale triple wedding back in 2017, have been open about their longing for a bigger family ever since welcoming little Lyra in July 2023. The tot – now a cheeky two-year-old with her mum’s dark curls and dad’s cheeky grin – has been the centre of their world, with the couple regularly sharing adorable updates of her milestones, from first steps to Disney-themed nursery reveals.

But this second pregnancy comes as pure magic after the pair’s emotional journey to parenthood. Fans will remember how Janette and Aljaž bravely shared their IVF preparations before miraculously conceiving Lyra naturally – a “miracle” they described as the greatest gift. “We were preparing for IVF mentally and physically and then it was just a relief to finally have that positive test,” Aljaž once revealed, tears in his eyes.

Now, with baby number two on the way, the Slovenian hunk and Miami-born beauty are beaming brighter than ever. Sources close to the couple say they’re “over the moon” and already dreaming of Lyra bossing around her little sibling. “Lyra is such a happy, energetic toddler – she’ll be the perfect big sister,” a pal dished. “Aljaž and Janette feel incredibly blessed after everything they’ve been through.”

The timing couldn’t be more perfect, with Aljaž back dazzling on the Strictly floor this series (who can forget his emotional return after a break to focus on daddy duties?) and Janette killing it as host of It Takes Two and Morning Live. The family recently relocated back to London for work, swapping their Cheshire pad for city life – and now they’ll have even more reason to celebrate in their new home.

Strictly stars were quick to congratulate the pair, with former pros and celebs alike flooding their feeds. “Another little Strictly baby! Congratulations!” wrote one, while others posted crying emojis and hearts galore. Even fans are speculating on names – will it be another rose-themed moniker to match Lyra Rose?

As the couple prepare for sleepless nights, tiny toes and double the cuddles, one thing’s for sure: this Strictly family is about to get a whole lot bigger – and we simply can’t wait!
