After going through years of trying to conceive without success, the TV personality and her husband were pleasantly surprised after finding out they were pregnant. The Blast shared that the talented duo was ecstatic that they had finally become parents like they always wanted to.
Since his birth, they decided to keep his face off social media to enjoy the first few moments alone with him as they should. However, the 28-year-old shared glimpses of their miracle baby in her Instagram story, which showed the 36-year-old sitting in a chair holding their son.
The dancer wore an undershirt over tan-colored pants and white socks as he smiled down at their newborn, who lay on his thighs. The sight was incredibly heartwarming as she wrote below the image, "3 weeks with the absolute loves of my life π₯Ίπ€."
Earlier, she had lauded her beau for his immense support and efforts at making her feel beautiful while carrying their child. Johnson noted that his loving actions in no way surprised her because they had both wanted to be parents for a very long time, so she did not doubt that he would be a great father.
