The Chmerkovskiys plan on raising their son as bilingual
Jenna Johnson was born and raised in Utah, but Val Chmerkovskiy grew up in Ukraine. Since Val and his family speak fluent Russian, the couple decided they want their son to be bilingual.
In an Instagram story, Jenna explained that she uses language-learning apps to work on her Russian so that the whole family can speak it together. She said that it was important for Val to share his heritage with baby Rome, but she didn’t want to be left out.
Rome Chmerkovskiy isn’t the only little one joining the family this year. Val’s older brother Maks Chmerkovskiy and his wife Peta Murgatroyd are also expecting a new baby, which will arrive this June.
