“Yes!!! Being completely transparent, at first, it was very hard to navigate because we grew up completely different and in very different cultures,” Johnson shared.
Johnson then explained that Rome “will have such a unique experience growing up withRussian-speaking grandparentsin New York and Christian grandparents in Utah!”
“Life is beautiful to be able to experience it all. My biggest advice to anyone in a similar position … don’t shy away from it! Face it head on and have the hard conversations!! They are worth it!!” she concluded.

When speaking to PEOPLE in May, Chmerkovskiy saidfatherhood is “the best hood I’ve been to”as it has “been a lot of fun.”
“Obviously the greatest responsibility I’ve ever felt. It’s just been really fulfilling,” he said at the time. “Love to see him smile and grow and really seeing my wife become a mom. All of that has been really, really fruitful for us.”
When asked if their view on life itself has changed since becoming parents, Johnson told PEOPLE, “Just the word ‘present’ or being present has really shifted.”
“I feel like I am so much more accomplished throughout my day having a kid, and it’s because I wanna spend as much time possible with him,” she explained. “And so I feel like I’m really present. I’m really focused, but I get a lot more done because I want to just spend every waking second with him.”
