Robert and Kym Engaged!

Season 20’s Robert Herjavec 

and Kym Johnson:

In Love, Engaged, and “So Happy”!

Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson engaged!

“I was completely shocked,” exclaimed Former DWTS Pro and 2-time Mirror Ball Champion, Kym Johnson, of the 6.5 carat, emerald-cut Sparkler resting atop her left, ring finger; “I can’t stop staring at the ring.  It’s unbelievable,” she gushed!

The “Unbelievable” object in question was, of course, a newly received Engagement Ring; and, it was put there by none other than ABC’s Shark Tank Star and (according to Wikipedia) Multi-Millionaire, Robert Herjavec!  Following their first meeting on the hit Reality Dance Program, Dancing With The Stars, in the Spring of 2015, Robert & Kym, who were paired up together for the show’s 10^th Anniversary extravaganza, Season 20, remained in the Ballroom all the way up until Week 08 of the Competition when their Elimination caused them to fall just short of the Season’s Semifinals, landing the duo in a solid 5^th Place overall, along with fellow Competing Couple, Chris Soules and Witney Carson.

Rumors flew concerning the Couple regarding their obvious chemistry on and off the Dance Floor all during their time together on the show; but, the lovebirds remained steadily coy, refusing to give any sort of official credibility to the Sparks that had ignited between them while still in the Glitter Dome.

during their Contemporary Dance. 

DWTS - S20, Wk08

Just Months later, by the Fall of that same year, Robert and Kym finally brought their long-suspected Relationship from the shadows, going public, at last, in September.

On February 27^th, 2016, nearly a year to the day since the couple’s first, fateful meeting in a Dance Rehearsal Studio, Herjavec popped the question to his former dance partner, Johnson, setting the romantic scene with scattered Rose Petals and an inflatable, Swan Pool Float in the swimming pool, on which, set the all important Jewelry, awaiting Kym’s delightful discovery!

“It was really a magical moment,” Kym would later relate, according to people.com, “I was just so happy!”

But the gestures didn’t stop there!  According to People, Kym’s new Fiancé thought that the duo’s celebration afterwards should be a family affair, going as far as to fly Kym’s mother all the way from Down Under, in Australia!

“It was very special,” said Johnson of the event, which reportedly also included fellow DWTS Cast members, Emma Slater, Edyta Sliwinska, Anna Trebunskaya, and Cheryl Burke!

Yes, it’s clear that, despite not coming away with a shining, DWTS Mirror Ball Trophy, Robert and Kym had departed the show with a prize infinitely more dear - a lasting, loving relationship that seems uniquely well founded, as was described by Kym to People, “We were friends at first, and we got to know each other on a friendship level; I think that’s really important … That developed into something else, and it’s really great.  We’re both each other’s number one fans,”!

but kept fans guessing as to their relationship status and their budding romance, well under wraps until after departing from the show.

Finishing their Season in 6th Place, the Dancing Duo may not have won the Golden Mirror Ball; but, they have certainly gained something far greater, each other!

"I'm grateful," Herjavec recently expressed on People.com of his meeting now-girlfriend Johnson while competing on the show; and, "It's been great," added the long-time Business Investor, while the former DWTS Australian judge says about their time together, "It feels like a lifetime ago," and "We're really happy!"

Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson ... In love.

The star couple also revealed whilst being interviewed a mutual interest in life's simple pleasures when Robert described " ... Kym cooking at home" as his favorite Date Night, and Kym shared, "We like to hang out on the couch and watch movies."

And on the pair's latest watch list?  DWTS' newest Season!

"Bindi is my favorite," the former Pro admitted, "I'm going to be backing her.  Us Aussies stick together," she declared, before adding, "I'm interested in seeing Gary Busey, too."!

Dancing With The Stars Season 21 continues next Monday and Tuesday night, as the show's 13 competing Couples are put to the dancing test and required to submit 2 dances each for Week 02's exciting 2-night event that will end in a much-dreaded Double Elimination!
