No. 1 fan! Val Chmerkovskiy is returning to the ballroom for Dancing With the Stars season 31 — and wife Jenna Johnson is eager to watch his weekly routines from the sidelines.“I’m just the spouse now,” the pregnant dancer, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, September 7, while promoting her second fashion collaboration with Jo+Jax. “I just get to be supportive.”While the Utah native — who previously finished in second place with JoJo Siwa during season 30 last year— is sitting out the inaugural Disney+ season, the 36-year-old Ukraine native is returning to teach Gabby Windey how to cha cha, foxtrot and jive.“I had to tell [Val] who she was [at first] because obviously I’m a massive Bachelor fan,” Johnson excitedly told Us on Thursday. “I think that they are going to be perfect together on the show.”She added: “I love her personality.

I just know from their little progress of rehearsing already before the premiere that they are ready and she’s in it to win it.”While Johnson — who took home the mirrorball trophy in season 26 with Adam Rippon — has not attended any of Chmerkovskiy and the 31-year-old Bachelorette’s practices, she gushed over their progress after watching a few videos sent by her husband.“The excitement that Val has when he comes home after rehearsal has just been so fun to see and so inspiring,” the So You Think You Can Dance alum, who previously partnered with Bachelor in Paradise’s Joe Amabile during DWTS season 27, noted. “Like he has somebody that’s capable of going all the way, you know?
