“We Thought It Was Too Late – Then Came a Miracle”: Kym Johnson and Robert Herjavec Welcome Baby No. 3 at 44 and 57
They had closed that chapter—or so they thought.
Kym Johnson, the dazzling 44-year-old Dancing With The Stars alum known for lighting up the ballroom, once sighed wistfully: “Maybe if we were younger.” She and her billionaire husband, Shark Tank’s Robert Herjavec, 57, had long accepted that their family of four—anchored by their adorable twins born in 2018—was complete.
But life, as it often does, had a different dance routine in store.
In a twist no one saw coming—not even the couple themselves—Kym and Robert have just welcomed their third child, a healthy baby girl, into the world. The news, shared quietly at first, has now erupted into a wave of joy, disbelief, and admiration from fans across the globe.
“We Thought That Door Was Closed”
For years after the birth of their twins, Kym and Robert often fielded the same question: Would there be another baby?
“We used to smile and shake our heads,” Kym said in an exclusive interview. “I’d say, ‘We missed the boat.’ I meant it. Robert and I were both in our 40s and 50s. We were happy, fulfilled, grateful. But deep down, there was always a whisper, a little ‘what if’ hiding in the quiet moments.”
And then, just when they least expected it, that whisper became reality.
“It wasn’t planned,” Robert added. “It was one of those magical accidents that stops you in your tracks. I remember Kym showing me the test. We just looked at each other—stunned. Speechless. And then we laughed. And cried. A lot.”
A Pregnancy Cloaked in Quiet Joy
Rather than announce it with the fanfare often associated with celebrity pregnancies, the Herjavecs chose to keep this journey private, sacred, and close to home.
“I wanted to experience every flutter, every moment, just the two of us,” Kym shared. “We’d been through the public rollercoaster before. This time, we wanted it to be different—intimate, magical.”
Robert, who built a fortune through tech and became a household name on Shark Tank, said he learned more in the past nine months about vulnerability than in all his business ventures combined.
“She’s always been the strong one,” he said, glancing at Kym with unmistakable awe. “But watching her carry this baby at 44… She was radiant. Brave. And completely unstoppable.”
A Delivery Full of Emotion
Their daughter arrived on a quiet Sunday morning, her first cry ringing through the delivery room like a burst of sunlight.
Robert, ever the composed businessman on screen, admitted he wept the moment he saw her.
“Time felt like it froze,” he said. “I was holding this little miracle in my arms and thinking, ‘How did we get so lucky—again?’”
For Kym, it was an experience filled with profound emotion and gratitude.
“She came into the world with so much love waiting for her,” Kym said. “I looked at Robert, then at our daughter, and I thought: this is our encore. Our unexpected gift.”
Reactions From Family, Friends, and Fans
The twins, now 7, are reportedly thrilled about becoming older siblings.
“They’ve been talking to my belly for months,” Kym laughed. “They even sang to her at night. It’s been the sweetest thing to witness. I think they’ll be amazing big siblings.”
Friends and fans flooded the couple’s private inboxes with messages of joy and congratulations after they quietly announced the birth on Instagram with a simple black-and-white photo of tiny fingers wrapped around Robert’s thumb. The caption read: “Sometimes the best surprises come wrapped in pink.”
Fellow DWTS stars, Shark Tank investors, and even royal fans chimed in. “Never say never,” Len Goodman’s widow wrote. “You two just proved that magic doesn’t care about age.”
Age, Expectations, and the Redefinition of Parenthood
While some may raise eyebrows at becoming parents again in their 40s and 50s, Kym and Robert are unfazed.
“We’re not the typical young parents, and that’s okay,” Robert said. “What we have is experience, patience, and an enormous amount of love.”
Kym added, “There’s so much pressure around the ‘right time’ to do things. But this baby reminded me that there’s no perfect timing—only perfect moments. And this was one of them.”
Their story is already inspiring couples worldwide who’ve shelved their hopes of parenthood due to age or circumstance.
“If you’re reading this and thinking it’s too late—maybe it’s not,” Kym said with a smile. “Sometimes life saves the most beautiful surprises for the final act.”
A Future Full of Love and Dancing Feet
The couple now looks forward to a future that’s fuller and more unpredictable than ever.
“We’re older, sure,” Robert laughed, “but we’ve got energy left in the tank. And if this little one learns to dance like her mama or pitch a business idea like her dad, the world better watch out.”
Kym plans to return to dancing eventually but admits she’s in no rush.
“Right now, I just want to be present. I want to watch her grow, take her first steps, say her first words. These are the moments that make life breathtaking.”
And Robert? He’s already shopping for pink onesies that read “Daddy’s Little Shark.”
One Last Dance
As the sun sets on one chapter and rises on another, the Herjavecs are holding their daughter close and letting gratitude guide them.
“We thought it was over,” Kym said softly, cradling her newborn. “But sometimes, just when the music fades… life gives you one last dance.”
