Former Strictly Come Dancing professional Joanne Clifton, aged 42, is expecting her first child with actor fiancé AJ Jenks. The couple revealed in an exclusive interview that they are anticipating a baby boy in December. Clifton, who met Jenks in 2020 and became engaged last September, shared their shock and delight at the news.
Despite being classified as a "geriatric mother" at 42, Clifton remains unconcerned, attributing her fitness to her lifelong career as a professional dancer. She finds support and advice from friends and family, including Stacey Dooley, who is married to Clifton's brother, Kevin Clifton.
Clifton described her pregnancy as a mixed experience, facing challenges like acid reflux and swollen feet in her second trimester. Despite this, her fiancé AJ Jenks is supportive, singing to their unborn child and attending to her cravings. The couple, who met when Clifton saw Jenks in a musical, are now focused on preparing for their son's arrival.
They are taking a relaxed approach to parenting, drawing inspiration from friends who balance family life with touring. Clifton has a major gig lined up for next year, and while wedding plans are on hold, she has already chosen her dress. The couple met in 2020 and got engaged last September.
