While many of the Dancing With the Stars professionals are used to sharing their dancing talents on television, some of their closest companions are waiting for them in the wings — their pets.
Val Chmerkovskiy and wife Jenna Johnson, who got married in April 2019, share two toy poodles.
“My three forever Valentines 
,” Johnson wrote when she shared a sweet February 2022 Instagram snap of her husband and the dogs lounging in bed.
From our partners:
The couple previously shared dog Anastasia before its death in August 2018.
“[Anastasia] brought so much happiness to me and really changed my perspective on a lot of things,” Chmerkovskiy told Us Weekly at the time. “I didn’t grow up with dogs, I never experienced that love that you can have for an animal, so this was new. And again, the permanence of death is also really frightening and scary and how it came out of nowhere, so it’s definitely [been] a week-and-a-half for me. … Time heals all and keeps it moving and that’s what’s most humbling about this whole thing. It’s very devastating and there’s nothing I can do now.”
