Pregnant Kym Johnson Is 'So Happy' for Twins: She's 'Wanted to Be a Mom for a Long Time'
Kym Johnson Herjavec "will be such a wonderful mother," a source tells PEOPLE exclusively
Expectant parents Kym Johnson Herjavec and Robert Herjavec are over the moon that they will soon be welcoming twins.
“This has been a roller coaster for them the last few years – meeting, falling in love, getting married and now starting a family,” a source tells PEOPLE about the couple’s nearly three-year romance. (The Shark Tank star is already a dad to three children from his previous marriage.)
“Kym has wanted to be a mom for a long time. They’re both so happy,” says the source of Johnson Herjavec, 41, adding, “Kym is feeling great! She will be such a wonderful mother.”
The couple revealed to PEOPLE exclusively on Tuesday that they have two babies on the way, one day after Johnson Herjavec confirmed her pregnancy with a too-cute ultrasound photo featuring one of her unborn children flashing a thumbs-up gesture.
