Strictly couple Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec have welcomed their first baby together and are taking her home after a short stay in hospital.
Doting dad Aljaz, 33, shared the touching picture showing himself and wife Janette grinning at each other as they walked out with their newborn.
Little Lyra Rose Skorjanec was born on Friday, July 28, and Aljaz has been quick to share adorable snaps of his baby girl.
‘Step by step’ wrote the Strictly Come Dancing professionals with three heart emojis in a joint post of the black and white picture.
This is the second picture the new parents have shared with fans, as they shared a fresh black-and-white picture of their new family to announce Lyra’s name.
After Janette shared that she was having a lot of discomfort with her pregnancy, it’s no surprise they’re happy to get their little girl home.

Alajz shared an extra snap on his story with the caption ‘slow and steady’, showing Lyra in her carrier in the back of the car.
While Janette sat next to her, the couple had also positioned a mirror on the headrest of the seat, showing Lyra blissfully napping away.
Once Lyra was bundled up ready for the car, excited mum Janette posted a short video of her looking snug as anything under a blanket.
‘Our first road trip as a family heading home today, Lyra [rose emoji] is very cosy,’ wrote the first-time mum.
Congratulations rolled in for the couple when they announced the birth, including from Strictly co-star Gorka Márquez who said: ‘So gorgeous!!! 💛’
Motsi Mabuse wrote: ‘Congratulations ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ !! A start of a very very special and unique time. I an certain this little angel has chosen the perfect parents. ❤️❤️❤️’
The couple have been married since 2017 and when announcing the pregnancy Janette shared a little insight into their fertility journey.
When she announced the pregnancy, Janette said: ‘For the past couple of years we hadn’t been using protection but nothing was happening, so we thought IVF was the next best thing for us to do.’
She added to Hello! Magazine: ‘I know that IVF can be really strenuous on a woman’s body and there is no guarantee it will work, so to know that this little miracle just came from a wonderful night we had together is amazing.
‘I think the baby decided to make mum and dad panic a bit before saying, “ok, fine, I’m coming up now.”’
