Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec Met on "Dancing with the Stars"
Johnson, a professional ballroom dancer, has a talent for turning celebrities like Herjavec into dancers on the famous reality game show "Dancing With The Stars." It was through the competition that they met as partners, and although they did not win, "DWTS" gave Johnson and Herjavec a priceless gift: love for each other.
The two entertainers forged a lasting romance that continued beyond the dance floor. Because their relationship did not immediately begin after meeting, they were able to build a strong foundation as friends before becoming lovers. The Australian dancer said:
"We were friends first, and we got to know each other on a friendship level; I think that's really important. That developed into something else, and it's really great. We're now each other's number one fans and have respect for each other."

After over a year of dating, the "Shark Tank" star asked for Johnson's hand in marriage. They tied the knot in 2016 in front of their closest family and friends, including "DWTS" fans Joey Fatone, Donny Osmond, and Lance Bass.
Johnson looked radiant and beautiful in a white Monique Lhuillier gown as she walked down the aisle with her parents. Meanwhile, her groom was also dressed in a white tux and looked so in love with his beautiful bride.
A few days before the big daw, Johnson shared a glimpse into their relationship, noting that she was surprised that their strong connection surpassed expectations.
Her life with Herjavec, whom she praised and called a wonderful man, only brings happiness and joy into her life. Johnson's husband echoed her words, saying that every minute spent with his wife is nothing short of beautiful.
Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec Became Parents through IVF
In 2018, at 41 years old, Johnson became a mom to twins. Admittedly, becoming a parent was no easy feat as the couple sought help from IVF treatment. "It really is a miracle," the doting dancer said.
Recently, the family of four went on a vacation in their happiest place in Hawaii.
Fortunately, she had a smooth pregnancy despite her morning sickness in the first trimester. As her due date came closer, Johnson joined prenatal Pilates classes but found difficulty in getting back on her feet to dance. "I noticed a difference when I couldn't get down on the ground," she said. "My balance was a bit off, and I was wobbling."
Her challenges, however, did not stop her from doing other things in preparation for motherhood, including taking psychology classes about raising twins to have their own identities. In April 2018, Johnson and Herjavec welcomed Hudson Robert Herjavec and Haven Mae Herjavec.
Johnson memorialized the birth of her twins with a grayscale photo on Instagram and a sweet caption wishing for her children's happiness and love. Besides her twins, Johnson is a stepmom to Herjavec's three kids from his first marriage.
A few months into motherhood, Johnson suffered from tendonitis, manifesting through a swollen wrist. She wore a black cast on the area to alleviate the pain, limiting some movements.
As a mom, the pro dancer worried that caring for her twins would be difficult. Still, she navigated through the challenge to the best that she can. Johnson also shared updates on her health situation through Instagram while posting about raising her son and daughter.
Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec Enjoyed a Family Trip to Disney in Hawaii
Johnson and Herjavec's children are now a bit older and looking more like their parents. Recently, the family of four went on a vacation in their happiest place in Hawaii and documented their stay through Instagram posts.
The actor shared a family photo with their kids in matching printed clothes while posing before the iconic Disney character, Mickey Mouse. Johnson, Herjavec, and their twins stayed at Hawaii's Disney Aulani for the trip and enjoyed every moment together. The twins, in particular, basked in every minute they had on the island, doing different activities and watching different characters stroll by.
Besides seeing different Disney characters, including Goofy and Minnie Mouse, the kids also swam and walked along the sandy shores. Fans of the couple shared their thoughts in the comments section, noting that Hudson and Haven looked like their parents. One person said:
"I can't believe how big they are now."
"You and Kim have a beautiful family," another fan wrote. Meanwhile, a third social media user highlighted how amazing of an experience raising twins was. "You and Kim have a beautiful family," another person said. Meanwhile, some fans noticed something different about Johnson and commented about how she looked different.

Johnson is Robert Herjavec's second wife, after having been married to Optometrist Diane Plese for 25 years. The former husband and wife met in the late '80s after the television personality booked an eye appointment at Plese's clinic. The two are parents to three grown children, Caprice Herjavec, Skye Herjavec, and Brendan Herjavec.
After losing about $263 million, half his fortune, to his ex-wife during the divorce, Herjavec took precautionary measures and had a prenup drafted for his marriage with Johnson. However, the two fall in love anew every day and are happy in each other's company. Although they have been married for less than a decade, they feel like their time together is close to forever.
