They recently announced that they are expecting their first child.
And Janette Manrara teased a glimpse of her growing belly while she was with husband Aljaz Skorjanec at a star-studded theater premiere in Manchester on Saturday.
Everyone smiled at the Strictly couple as they arrived at Bridgewater Hall to support former colleagues Gorka Marquez and Karen Hauer’s Firedance tour.
Janette, 39, looked stunning in a black crop top which she paired with a sheer polkadot blouse.
She completed the look with high-waisted black trousers and slipped on chunky dark boots.
The stunner opted for a radiant makeup palette and wore her brunette locks in a stylish bob.

Meanwhile, Aljaž, 33, cut a dapper figure in a black sweater which he paired with matching trousers.
The loving couple, who wed in 2017, beamed as they posed for the cameras before taking their seats to enjoy the show.
In the dance show, Karen and Gorka take part in an immersive dance festival inspired by Romeo & Juliet, Moulin Rouge, Carmen and West Side Story.
It comes after Janette broke down in tears on Tuesday as she opened a congratulatory gift – which had sentimental meaning.
The dancer took to Instagram to share the story behind the gift from dressmaker DSI London, who sent her one of her dresses.
Explaining the significance of the dress, Janette shared that she wore it during the couple’s dance tour, A Christmas To Remember, which was also around the time she and Aljaz found out their pregnancy news.
As I put on the garment, the dancer recalled that I “had tears in my eyes as I danced this dance because Aljaz and I shared a moment together just before we parted on stage to celebrate the three of us.”
She described the moment as “one of the most special of my life” and later shared the story with the brand, which sent her the dress for storage this week.

Aljaz recorded his wife reacting to the gift, overcome with emotion and rubbing both her eyes.
“A dress can do that,” joked the Slovenian dancer, while Janette giggled.
In the caption, the mom-to-be shared the full story, writing: “I look a little rough in the video but I had to share this special moment so who cares! Received a lovely package from @dsilondon congratulating us on the baby news. I remember telling them the story of how much I loved dancing in one of their dresses for a specific moment of our @rememberingtour.
“That was my favorite moment on the show! If you came and watched, it was the opening of our second act. The music was magical and I always felt like I was in a dream world dancing it with @aljazskorjanec.
“We found out during our Christmas tour that we are pregnant and at the last show I had tears in my eyes doing this dance because Aljaz and I spent a moment together just before our performance to say hello to the three of us on the Partying on stage when we danced together before anyone else in the world found out our very special little secret. To say that this was one of the most special moments of my life is an understatement.
“Well @dsilondon got me the dress I wore for this number as they remembered the story and how much I loved dancing in it… such a thoughtful touch!”

Good news: Janette and Aljaz’s pregnancy news came after spending over two years trying to conceive
Concluding that the dress meant even more because she was so far from her family, the Cuban-American star added, “I’m so far from my family but it’s gestures like this and all yours kind messages of love that made me so emotional and feel so much love around Aljaz and me and our little baby. Thank you @dsilondon for this very special gift. I will treasure it forever.
Janette and Aljaz’s pregnancy news came after they spent over two years trying to conceive.
In a recent interview with HELLO! She elaborated: “For the past few years we hadn’t used any protection but nothing was happening so we thought IVF was the next best thing for us.”
“I’ll be 40 later this year and the NHS has really good services for women under 40. The doctor said we would start the injections as soon as I got my period, but my period never came.”
“I know IVF can be very taxing on a woman’s body and there’s no guarantee it will work, so to know that this little miracle just came out of a wonderful night we had together is amazing. I think the baby decided to give mom and dad a little panic before saying, “Okay, fine, I’m getting up now.”
Janette explained how she told Aljaž that she was pregnant by handing him the positive pregnancy test and that they “cried and hugged; it was quite a moment’.
Aljaž added that he was “beside me” and hoped the baby would look more like Janette than him.
