Janette, 40, welcomed her baby daughter Lyra in July last year with her partner Alijaz Skorjanec , 33, after trying to conceive for two years.
During a chat with The Daily Mirror in February, 2024, the Cuban-American TV star opened up about the birth , admitting she underwent a difficult recovery as she wasn't able to hold her "miracle baby" as much as she would have wanted to. "It was hard with a C-section it’s a long recovery. I couldn’t carry Lyra .
