Aljaž Škorjanec would ‘breastfeed if he could’ as wife Janette Manrara prepares to give birth
She’s expecting her first child with Aljaz Škorjanec.
And Janette Manrara, 39, has claimed that her husband, 33, would ‘breastfeed the baby if he could’ as she prepares to give birth for the first time.
The pregnant Strictly Come Dancing star told Closer: ‘He’s wanted to be a dad since day one and he’s so obsessed, he would breastfeed the baby if he could!
‘He wants to be a co-parent 100 percent and we’ll be a real team.’
The dancer also revealed how her husband sends her memes of baby tips and advice he’s found online, adding: ‘As a working mum, having someone like that on your side is such a breath of fresh air!’
It comes after Janette took to Instagram where she shared an adorable moment of her getting a baby scan.
Her doctor beamed as he checked out Janette’s pregnant tummy to check if the baby is doing well, and she captioned her post: ‘Little one is growing well and healthy!’
Janette revealed their child is ‘a little miracle’ and the couple are excited to be ‘a team’ when the newborn arrives.
She previously said of Aljaz, who she married 12 years ago: ‘The most surprising thing for me, from Aljaž is just the level of support he’s shown throughout this whole pregnancy.’
‘I knew he always wanted to be a Father; I felt in my heart that I knew he was always going to be an amazing Dad, but to see it come to life with his excitement and his curiosity and his ability to really just take care of me is amazing.’
She added: ‘He doesn’t let me lift a feather! He is just the most incredible husband and it’s so nice to see how involved he wants to be and he wants to know about everything happening to me and my body.
‘I think as a woman it’s so comforting to know that I have a real partner in this whole process, and that he’s with me all the way. I love that.’
She continued: ‘It’s just the excitement of being a family, finally. We’ve known for a long time that we’ve been wanting to be parents, and now we have this little miracle coming, our lives are going to completely change forever once it arrives.
‘To know that, again, we have each other and we’re doing it as a team, and hopefully we create a wonderful human being, that will be beautiful for our planet.
‘Just the excitement of being in a new home as a new family… all of it really! I’m just super happy that this is even happening.’
