Jenna Johnson and Val Chmerkovskiy are soaking up their Dancing With the Stars wins, along with son Rome.
“Rome’s raw emotions seeing another Len Goodman Mirrorball come home!” Johnson, 30, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, November 30, alongside snaps of the 22-month-old sitting beside their trophies. In one image, Rome smiled, while in another, he seemingly gasped.
In the final slide of the carousel, Johnson and Chmerkovskiy, 38, were all smiles as they posed with Rome and the five awards. (Johnson won in season 26 with Adam Rippon and season 33 with Joey Graziadei, while Chmerkovskiy took home the trophy in season 20 with Rumer Willis, season 23 with Laurie Hernandez and season 32 with Xochitl Gomez.)
“I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence (although I don’t ever believe things are just a coincidence) but Mr. Len Goodman has been celebrated and honored heavily at our house this past year,” Johnson wrote, referring to the late DWTS judge, who died last year. “Two mirrorballs and an EMMY nomination in his honor has made me really feel his lasting impact and for that I’m beyond grateful. ✨🕊️.”

Graziadei, 29, took to the comment section of the post to gush over his DWTS partner’s son. “Breaking the internet with the cutest kid EVER,” he wrote. Chmerkovskiy’s brother, Maks, who was a pro on DWTS, added, “Rome is the cutest!”
Johnson and Chmerkovskiy, who tied the knot in 2019, added one more trophy to their collection after she took home the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy with Graziadei last month. The award was passed down from Chmerkovskiy, who had received the trophy the previous season.
Dancing With the Stars pro Val Chmerkovskiy is reflecting on his and wife Jenna Johnson’s loss at the 2024 Creative Arts Emmys. “We didn’t win tonight, but what an honor it was to be in that room. Congrats to Karla Garcia and to all of the nominees. Till next time 🏆 #emmys,” Chmerkovskiy, 38, wrote […]
“[I felt] just so much sheer love and joy. That was a really special moment that I don’t think has ever, ever, ever happened before,” Johnson told Us of Chmerkovskiy. “So many people told me that they have videos of him freaking out and I can’t wait to see them. He’s been my No. 1 supporter through this. He’s been mommy and daddy for us right now while I’ve been getting ready for this finale. So I’m just so grateful for him.”
While Johnson said her trophy will “probably [go] right next to Val’s,” Graziadei wanted to display the award in his new Los Angeles home with fiancée Kelsey Anderson. He added, “We just got a new apartment, so it’s our first little centerpiece that we have, so it’ll be somewhere.”
