"Rome Valentin Chmerkovskiy," Johnson captioned the post. "Cannot believe it's been 4 weeks of being completely infatuated with you. Thank you for bursting my heart wide open and showing me what unconditional love is. Mommy and Daddy love you so much!!!!"

The professional dancer later shared photos from the delivery room.

"The many emotions during Labor and Delivery... excitement, fear, pure exhaustion, and so much love," Johnson wrote Jan. 23 on Instagram.

"I've always appreciated my body and what it's been able to help me do and create within my craft... but nothing can prepare you for what a miraculous vessel it is and what it goes through during labor. About 30 hours of it and we finally got to meet our sweet bubba. Forever grateful I had the best support system to get me through."

Johnson and Chmerkovskiy married in April 2019 and announced in July 2022 that they were expecting their first child.
