Strictly stars Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec have issued an adorable new update surrounding their daughter.
The married couple, who tied the knot in 2017, share a two-year-old daughter, Lyra-Rose. Currently, the family is on Strictly Come Dancing Live! Tour across the UK, and so far, they are having a blast.
Jannette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec in wholesome family update
In a joint Instagram post shared today (February 10), the pair posted a video clip of Lyra watching her father enter the stage with his 2025 dance partner, La Voix.
La Voix and Aljaz could be seen directly waving over at Lyra as she watched and waved back.
âThis [is] what itâs all about for us,â they wrote in their caption, adding the praying hands emoji.
âHaving the little one watching us do what we love and smiling, dancing, the whole way. Our hearts could not be more full,â they added with the white heart emoji.
âBeautiful parentingâ
The sweet post certainly didnât go unnoticed by their followers, who immediately took to the comments section to offer their support.
Pregnant pro dancer Dianne Buswell wrote three red heart emoji. Meanwhile, fellow Strictly star Gorka Marquez shared three heart eyes emoji.
âSheâll be proud of her Mum and Dad,â one user wrote.
âThis is so cute. Her mum and dadâs biggest cheerleader!â another person shared.
âWhat wonderful memories you are giving Lyra. Beautiful parenting,â a third remarked.
âSo special. Showing her that you can absolutely smash life !!!! I just know that sheâs one incredibly proud little girlie,â a fourth said.
A fifth echoed: âItâs so lovely to see Lyra watching the show. She must have been really excited!â
Tonight, the Strictly Live! Tour will continue in Nottingham before wrapping up later this week at Londonâs iconic O2 Arena.
Since welcoming Lyra into the world, Janette Manrara has been vocal about being a first-time mum and raising her daughter.
While speaking to HELLO! in 2024, the It Takes Two host opened up about her bond with her child.
Janette Manrara doesnât want daughter âto feel that she needs to be perfectâ
âI think weâre so scared to get it wrong, I know I was as a little girl. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and I wanted to get that full scholarship and get into that dance school or get the audition. Itâs hard when youâre constantly applying that pressure of âdonât muck it up,’â she said, referring to her own childhood.
She added: âEven me as a mum, Iâm like, âItâs okay, Iâm not going to get it right all of the time and when [Lyra is] growing up, sheâs going to hit 40 walls on the way and thatâs okayâ,â Janette continued.
âI donât want her to feel that she needs to be perfect, or that she needs to be a type of woman or a type of person. I just want her to be and experience life and go grow up in a world that makes her feel like everything is okay, however she wants to explore that.â
âIt changes everythingâ
Meanwhile, while speaking to Digital Spy at the Bestâs Heroes Awards in 2023, Janette Manrara gushed over her daughter.
âSheâs incredible. Sheâs the best, best baby. I think we really lucked out because she sleeps alright, she doesnât cry a lot and sheâs just happy, she smiles all the time,â she said.
In fact, Janette insisted her little one strengthened her marriage to hubby Aljaz Skorjanec.
âI was already in love with him before but to see him now. Heâs such a good father to Lyra. It changes everything and takes our relationship to the next level,â she said.
âHeâs doing daddy daycare at the moment whilst Iâm down in London filming It Takes Two. So thereâs lots of FaceTimes and lots of videos going forward to see how sheâs doing.â
