Jenna Johnson Shares That Her and Val Chmerkovskiy’s 2-Year-Old Son Rome Was Hospitalized
Val Chmerkovskiy and Jenna Johnson‘s son Rome experienced more than just mommy kissing Santa Claus on Dancing With the Stars.
The 2-year-old made his ballroom debut during the ABC show’s Dancing With the Holidays special on December 2, appearing alongside his parents in a dance routine set to “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.”
The performance began with Rome—dressed in a white collared shirt with a burgundy vest and matching trousers—sitting on a velvet couch with his parents. As the classic Christmas song started to play, his parents sashayed over to the dance floor.
The routine concluded with Jenna lifting Rome in her arms as Val entered the room dressed as Santa. The trio was then greeted by DWTS co-hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough, whose microphone caught Rome’s attention.
“Do you want to say hi?” Julianne asked the little one, who reached for the mic and cooed, “What’s up?”
While Jenna discussed their holiday plans as a family, including bringing Rome on the Dancing With the Stars nationwide tour, her son made another adorable attempt for the microphone and sweetly told the audience, “Merry Christmas!”
