Strictly couple Janette Manrara and Aljaž Škorjanec reveal exciting baby plans

They tied the knot in 2017

Janette Manrara and husband Aljaž Škorjanec have revealed they can’t wait to start a family.

The Strictly Come Dancing couple, who tied the knot in 2017, appeared on Wednesday’s edition of Lorraine and admitted they are “so broody” as they lifted the lid on their future plans.

Janette revealed she and Aljaž talk about having babies “all the time” because they “adore” children.

As host Christine Lampard spoke about their Strictly co-star Gorka Marquez expecting his first child with girlfriend Gemma Atkinson, she was quick to ask the couple whether they had any baby plans in the pipeline.

Janette said: “Especially as a woman, it’s a big decision, for me whenever we do decide to have a child.

“We talk about it all the time. We adore kids. You should see us around babies, we get so broody, both of us. We are definitely going to have children.”

However, the star said their careers are at “such a high” and they are enjoying dancing on Strictly so much, so they don’t to give that up just yet.

Janette has previously expressed her desire to have children with Aljaž.

Earlier this year, she told Hello Magazine: “It’s never going to be the perfect time to have a baby but we do talk about it a lot and we are very much looking forward to becoming a mum and dad.

“So it’s definitely going to happen… We’re kind of taking it slowly. A dancer’s career can be quite short, especially when you reach a certain level, and work is going so good for us at the moment that is the priority.”

Aljaz, 29, and Janette, 35, tied the knot in three separate ceremonies in 2017, saying their vows in Slovenia, where Aljaz is from, in Miami, which is Janette’s hometown, and London, where they now live.

They then honeymooned in the Seychelles last year.

Speaking about their honeymoon at the time, Janette told OK! Magazine: “It gave us time to reconnect with each other and it also gave us a chance to reflect on our three weddings.

“We did a lot of reminiscing. It really was beautiful.”
