Jenna Johnson & Val Chmerkovskiy Weigh in on New DWTS Co-Host

“We’ve been waiting for this moment for a very long time,” Jenna told Daily Pop. “So, the fact that it’s finally here, we are just ecstatic. And I can’t wait for all the challenges, for no sleep, for all of it.”

Celebrating the sports world’s biggest athletes at the ESPYS, Val noted that athletics will play a huge part in their child’s life, “in terms of discipline, in terms of their own personal growth [and] physical growth.”

And even if their kid doesn’t follow in their parents’ ballroom dance footsteps, Jenna said that as “huge advocates for athleticism and being active in general,” they will be supportive “no matter what they choose.”
