The couple named their daughter Lyra Rose (Instagram)Janette and Aljaž's sweet choice of name for their baby daughter is of Greek origin and has a touching connection to their love of dance and music. It originates from the myth of Orpheus' legendary lyre - or harp - which was said to have played music so beautiful that it could move all animals, trees and even gods. The lyre was placed into the heavens as a consellation, with the name Lyra considered a gift for music-loving parents as a reminder to their child to reach for the stars.
The Strictly stars married in 2017 and announced their baby news back in February after they had been trying to conceive for more than two years.
After the couple told fans they had become parents for the first time, Aljaž took to his Instagram Stories to explain how his life has changed. Sharing a black and white photo of himself gazing at Lyra's crib, he wrote: "Love at every sight. I haven't moved today."
