Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec found love in the Dancing With the Stars ballroom in 2015 and have been going strong ever since.
After being paired together on season 20 of DWTS, Johnson and Herjavec sparked dating rumors after they were seen getting cozy at a viewing party for the ABC show in March 2015. They seemingly confirmed their romance months later in May, after they were spotted kissing in Palm Springs.
“He’s such a great guy,” the former DWTS pro told Luxury Handbag Shopping in May 2015. “Absolutely, we’re still seeing each other. We love spending time together.”
The couple announced their engagement in February 2016 and tied the knot later that August. Johnson and Herjavec went on to welcome twins Hudson and Haven in April 2018.
The Shark Tank star was previously married to Dr. Diane Plese from 1990 to 2014. The pair share daughters Caprice and Skye and son Brendan.
Prior to meeting Herjavec, Johnson was formerly engaged to Australian cricket player Shane Watson and dated former DWTS partner Tom Williams.
