Val Chmerkovskiy is open to the idea of entering into a throuple with his wife, Jenna Johnson, and her Dancing With the Stars partner, Tyson Beckford. Chmerkovskiy expressed his interest in the concept, referring to it as mischievous.
Beckford and Johnson formed a strong bond during their collaboration despite their early elimination in week three of the competition series.
Chmerkovskiy emphasized the rigorous nature of being a professional and a contestant on DWTS, stating, "To succeed, you must fully dedicate yourself to this process both as a professional and as a teacher."
Beckford expressed gratitude to Johnson for their efforts and conveyed a heartfelt message after learning about their elimination on Motown Night. "I appreciate everything. Despite our dedication, a single mistake cost us our place in the competition," Beckford apologized to Johnson on the show.
Beckford and Johnson were in the bottom two alongside Adrian Peterson and Britt Stewart — who were also up for elimination the week before.
Beckford not only developed a strong connection with his pro partner but also established a close relationship with Chmerkovskiy. Despite no longer being in the competition, he intends to maintain a strong friendship with the dancer.
Beckford expressed his desire to spend time with Val once their current project is completed and he has free time on the east coast. He also offered to babysit their 9-month-old son, Rome, and mentioned the idea of spending time with him at the park. In a separate interview, Beckford enthusiastically talked about Rome potentially following in his parents' footsteps and becoming a skilled dancer, although Johnson is unsure about enrolling him in dance classes.
Johnson told Us exclusively after DWTS Latin Night that she is unsure about enrolling her son in dance classes. Val believes he should join, but Johnson has mixed feelings.
Despite starting her own dance journey at a young age, Johnson wants to prioritize her son's passion and allow him to choose his own path.
“If he loves [dance], I’ll support it, of course,” she added. “But I don’t want him to feel pressured just to do it because mom and dad do it.”
